Title: some stuff
Post by: Scott Roush on January 04, 2011, 06:23:00 AM

I've been wanting to make some knives to donate to a local outdoor skills type school that are fast and easy to make so I've been doing some simple stock removal with .095 15n20.  Man this is tough stuff.  I liked the idea of making some real user knives with thin blades and I've been playing around with designs...

I did a video of that big chopper in action...

I also made this little striker kit for fun... the 'sheath holder' is fully hardened for flint striking and can also be used to clip into a belt loop. Forging is fun.

I like the big one. And the necker is just plain cool looking.
