Title: deep penatration knife thread(knife #2 pic and armguard)
Post by: bowtarist on December 25, 2013, 07:39:36 pm

So I've been working on several knives and I'd like to post them here. I've finished only one so far and will start with that one and add as I finish them.

Knife 1- This is a small dagger with a partial tang, hand hammered brass bolster, rodent chewed bone handle I found at the classic this year, ERC pommel all held together with PC7 epoxy. I gave this to one of my buddies at the family Christmas get together lastnight. 

Hope to get the next one done in a couple of days. Thanks for lookin, dpgratz

It look great to me i love daggers even tried to make one a couple months ago but i had problems getting the two bevels the same thickness,  width, etc. I do my bevels with all files by hand.

Thanks Guys!

I mostly do my bevels w/ an angle grinder or pedestal grinder.

mcginnis, don't be so hard on yourself, it ain't got to be perfect, keep grinding a little at a time.

working on knife #2 this afternoon. If I get a couple hours I may get it all done cept the seale

have a gooder, dp

It took a bit, but I got knife #2 done.

Its a circular saw blade w/ antler scales and 1/8" brazing rod pins finished w/ tru oil.

Y'all might see this one again...if you know what I mean.  ;)

also added a pic of the arm guard I made the wife for Christmas, she loves it and has been using it when we had a couple of warm days earlier in the week. Lots of snow again now.

Thanks for lookin, dp
