Pork sword
« on: August 07, 2013, 08:37:00 PM »
Always interested, but rarely find the time to have too much of a crack at knife making, made the odd one here and there in the last couple of years as I found time, leaving the shed (was mine) to my young fella , Tyler,who makes quite a few knives, and poking my nose in and listening where ever I can, and asking a lot of dumb questions.
 Well this has been a real cold wet winter in these parts, so I have had a go at a style of knife I saw a while back.  The knife was called a “ Cape Yorker “ designed for knocking the jaws out of boars,(the chopping edge on the spine)  made by Dave Keable, a genuine old school bowhunter from Queensland, who now knocks out some exquisite looking recurve bows under the name of Raven Bows.
     
ATS34 , OAL 280mm, blade 150mm all from 5.5mm stock,  
Black micarta handle , stippled for more grip , red spacer, tapered tang, bolsters 316 stainless

   
   
   
   
   
And one to give some scale to things
   

Cheers
Wayne
