Title: War Club and knife.
Post by: smokeu on June 19, 2009, 06:30:35 pm

This is my first war club and one of the very few knives i have made. I dont really have the equpment to make proper knives, only got a very weak grinder and a hacksaw. The blade is very thin and was the tip of one of those mexican machete's that i shortened. The club is ironwood if i remember right. With a sharpened scrap steel made into spike from work. Its pretty tough though i threw it like a tomahawk into a tree several times.

Hope yall like it.

For some reason I've been attracted to war clubs for a long time. Nice work. Consider making a few more, working in series will allow you to explore war club design. Have fun.

Thanks Grunt, I am planing on making a few replicas when i find some suitable pieces of wood. I really liked those that you made as well.

Thanks

Mike
