Sheffield Pattern
« on: April 24, 2011, 08:29:00 PM »
I just wrapped this one up but dont have any pro shots yet, but snapped this for a sneek peek. I always learn something while making a new or historic pattern.

The early knives of the Sheffiled make were not damascus, but that's what my friend wanted. The fittings are all .925 Silver. Interesting.

More photos soon.

Kevin, I had to make the domed heads and stick the pins through and pien it in the top of the dome. I have some snapshots of the process. Let's see....

Is it something special about the Silver that makes it so you can pean and sand without ever seeing the lines ?Or just exsperence, I haven't seen this done yet?

You can see the lines a little, but silver and gold are very good at hiding the line if you degrease it first. The dome becomes work hardened as soon as you dome it plus the shape is quite strong. Enough to be able to pien the soft pin into the countersink.

This was my first time to make these type pins.

Awesome! I was wondering how it was all going to come together. I just dont have the vision to see it as a whole by looking at the individual components yet. When you showed me the "domes" i was not sure how it was going to look. Amazing!

Karl, I just told Kay that he will have it figured out by the time Blade gets here. It's not hard but a ball end mill helps.

Thanks guys

Yes Doug. A couple years ago Jim Batson gave me an outline of how he makes his and I have been simmering on this idea for a while. So, I had an order that called for these pins and it all came together. They (the pins and domes) are surprisingly easy to make and strong. The key is to make the block to close tolerances, then the rest is easy. The punches are not bad either. I will only make parts from soft metals with mine. At least that's the plan.

I bet Karl has one made already.   :biglaugh:   And I bet it will be a good one. You gotta love it!
