My First Knife-V 42 reproduction
« on: November 02, 2012, 09:46:02 pm »
Hey guys,

                      I recently made this knife for a friend of mine who is a WWll reenactor.  It is a reproduction of a V 42 combat knife made by case at the beginning of WWll. It is made from a leaf spring and the handle is walnut. Gun blue patina on the metal. Thanks for looking.

Extremely nice work so when will mine be done?
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Thanks Cracker. I told the guy I made it for that this will be my last. It was a pain in the ... to make!

Nice work!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Cody, you are truly an artist. Beautifully knife. Now you friend needs my original Col. Fairbains knife fighting and hand to hand combat handbook from WW2. :D
