« on: August 05, 2010, 09:34:00 PM »
It's been awhile since i have posted anything, Here is some i just finshed. Pictures are still not very good.
This one is hand forged from 1095 blade is 7 1/2" OAL is 13 1/4 red and black and s.s. spacers. stainless steel finger and pins. blade has a false edge (first one for me) handle is wenge wood.
 
 
 

The next three are hand forged from 1084, top two has a 4 1/2" blade 9 1/2" OAL one had black walnut and the other has reclamed cedar
third one is 5 1/2" blade 10 1/2 OAL handle is mesquite.
 
 

let me know that you think of design and size
Thanks for looking
Dana

Thanks guys for the nice words. These are far from perfect but I think they are getting a little better IMO. Still have tool to buy that would make every thing better. Home made tools are ok but they have their limits. More to come soon

They all are beauties, and like some of the others here, I like the reclaimed cedar handle the best.
