Forged belt knives

[taylormadeknives]

I have been making several of these little belt knives lately. I really like the size and functionality of them. I set them up for a horizontal carry with a kydex sheath.

I like those alot Taylor I suspect they sell well. If you don't mind me asking what size is the tube and where do you get them I have looked online for larger tube and seem 1/4" is all I find.
Nice work!

Those look like a very handy little all around general purpose knife, something that could handle most routine jobs with ease. Nice job on the kydex sheaths as well.

The lanyard tube is 1/4". I buy them in brass and aluminum at my local Ace hardware. I know lots of makers use 3/8" also. Not sure about it, I never seen the use in any larger than 1/4"

Thanks. They look great do you flare them out?

Thanks Jon, they sure are. These are real handy little guys and so easy to carry. I wear one everyday no problems. I touch the edge up with a fine diamond stone and hone with a glass rod. It stays sharp and easy to maintain. The kydex sheath is real comfy and functional
