I used some 1075/80 for this one. If i don't sell it this weekend i may give it to my nephew for Christmas, he's the hog hunter.:biggrin:

historically speaking the blades that were used on gunstock warclubs would probably Rc at about 50. soft by modern standards but definetly in the spring-y territory. so forge it out, heat treat ,and temper to a blue.

yeah this was some of aldos 1084.

Got it heat treated the other day and put it through some paces . This was after a putting a working edge still need to do a final hone. But she chopped and sliced and fileted some paper. got some wenge for the handle cut out should be able to get to that tomorrow.

i got to play around with this one yesterday and it just begs to be used. as soon as you pick it up you gotta start hacking away at stuff.:lol:

gave this baby a fat belly using stormcrows power hammer. surprising lite in the hand. just a bit of draw filing to do then on to the HT. finally put a handle on. Wenge with copper pins. Now on to the sheath.

that is truly beautiful.

I can only offer this advice: if you have the means put a lid on your forge, if for no other reason than to keep the rain off. If your fortunate enough to be able to setup indoors or have a roof over you, great. But i can't tell you how much time i have spent having to reline my forge just...

that is beautiful. your collaborations with chuck often remind me that sole authorship isn't always the way to go.

well it was either move to the back yard or be evicted. so yeah, im in the backyard. my new old setup. the pot on top is my old tripa cooker, but i figured it would help keep the rain out. it's a lively foroge with some hard firebricks around to redirect the heat. my stake anvil. the...

the handle is flame kissed curly maple with a pine rosin/shellac coating.

yes. yes you should.

stormcrow named this one,but i think he got it from Tim. over all its 18" with a 12" blade. mild guard fittings with a copper spacer on the buttcap. pretty light in the hand and it does make the chips fly.

for me it was just the idea if i could do it. i started looking into making knives on '04 after about a yr of research the only thing i found out was i needed a lot of money to get started. or so i thought, enter the $50 knife shop. I though hey i can come up with 50 bucks. with the section...

i came to the neo tribal style by way of pyromania. which may explain why i dont want to switch to propane just yet. sure, propane gets hot but you cant howl and grunt and chant around the propane tank. that would just look weird. :-)

I've seen a maker in oahu use a forklift tine as an anvil. you might want to check with any business that uses a fork lift. they change those tines quite often so you might stumble upon one. on the big island you have that black mud to, right, that will work as a clay filler to.

Stupid rain. Yeah i was about to start forging today then the rain came. cant wait to finish my propane forge. Hey and any anvil is better than no anvil i say. :-)

ready for heat treat. the top blade is 3/32 1095 the bottom 1/8 in 1070.
