Make Stuff With Your Hands

A little hunter I just finished up with some progress pics. It is 1084 steel with a stabilized box elder burl handle and a brass guard.

Just off the anvil.

Forging done and profiled.

Ricasso flattened in preparation for laying out for grinding and for fitting the guard.

Starting to fit the brass guard with a guard press.

The guard slotted and rough shaped.

Laying out the blade on the handle material.

Thanks for looking – happy making,

Jim
