after the video review of the Fox Knives model 478 folding karambit, that I really liked, I decided to make a non-sharp and non-pointed training blade to avoid hurting myself! so I took an old 3mm thick lawnmower blade, shaped it appropriately and this is the result. the holes compensate the...
I made a video-review on this knife. It surprised me. I was expecting very low quality while it is not bad at all especially compared to the price!

let me know your opinion!
you are absolutely right. people today want shiny new stuff, the inherent quality has no meaning/value for most. new is better. and very few are able or care to evaluate the quality... most of the time I think exactly the opposite. old is better, stronger, made to last. especially for tools.
yes! and it's not so little... more or less it should be 150-200lbs! to put it on its table I had to ask a friend to help me. I would never be able to rise it so much on my own.
I was not satisfied by my chinese drill press so some time ago I start looking for a better one... it takes some time to find it out a at an accettable price but in the end I found it:
It's a totally different animal. incredibly better.

I made a video about my Italian Army multitool knife (full review). its features are: straight, plain edge; sheep foot point; can opener; flat screwdriver; marlin spike; lanyard ring; bakelite handle scales; carbon steel; spring retention system. more info in the video.
I had been wanting to make a mould for lead balls ammo for a long time. I made a first attempt with a piece of aluminum for 6mm lead balls but it didn't work very well. however, I understood my mistake and with another (larger, flatter, more parallel) piece of aluminum I made a good mold for 8mm...
the original stump of my anvil was too big in diameter. uncomfortable to move and above all it did not allow me to be as near to the anvil as I like except by placing the anvil itself on the edge of it rather than in the center. so I decided to put it aside for now and use the old stump of my...
I'm not a fan of push knives as well, they are not so vesatile as a normal knife and are dangerous if you handle them improperly but I wanted to give it a try.
I'm really glad you like it. Thank you jaxxas!
with the steel bar obtained forging a rail road clip I made a single-edge push knife. handle scales asymmetrical also in thickness of chestnut briar. brass pins and black-forge finish.
I found a 700gr hatchet in a market that had an elongated and teardrop "eye" for the handle with a beatiful shape. I took it with the idea of modifying it and obtaining a bearded one with the addition of a steel beard obtained from the leafspring of a truck thick enough to be forged. then I cut...
