New Knife Build
« on: March 10, 2013, 05:08:10 PM »
My Son Recently took up Blacksmithing as a hobby. This is his first knife blade project, and mine putting on the scales.He has been turning out some nice Hawks made from Old B. P hammers, and decided to give knives a shot.
He made the blade from coil spring, and the ability to get a razor edge and hold it was quite impressive. I think we'll stick with full tang type knives, and see what happens.Nothing like beating on metal and sawing wood, to keep the neighbors happy :o

"Oh yea" Since the blade was high carbon steel, I put a blue job on it. Two coats of cold blue.

Nope! Just a hobby. His plans are to do more traditional stuff for family and friends.
