Posted in Blacksmithing, bladesmithing, Forging, knifemaking, metalwork, Tool Making with tags Camping, custom knife, edc, forged, hunting knife, Knife on July 20, 2018 by JimA 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
Loveless Style Hunting Knife in O1
Posted in Blacksmithing, EDC, Forging, knifemaking, Leather working, metalwork, Tool Making with tags 01 steel, edc, handmade knife, hunting knife, loveless bolts, loveless drop point, micarta, pocket knife on January 7, 2014 by JimI started this knife quite a while ago. It has been sitting on my bench for over a year – until now.
I made it to be part of a hunting set and showed the smaller first knife here quite a while ago.
Here are the two knives finally together.
I carry the smaller knife as a fixed blade edc pocket knife.
They are both 01 steel with green micarta handles and red liners. The blade on the larger one is about 3″.
I also made the sheath and to be honest – I almost enjoyed that as much as making the knife.
Happy Making and new year to you,
Jim
