Title: Forgery
Post by: Pat B on September 12, 2018, 04:44:31 PM

I got these forged neck knife blanks from a young blacksmith friend in a trade. I'll add handle scales with brass pins. Two of them will go with the Christmas Trade gifts I'm making for our annual Christmas Trade on PA.

I have lots of woods, some figured, some cool colored, some with cool color variations, I have antler, bone and horn. I'll decide what goes with what when the time comes...and yes, I will show the finished product.
 One of these knives will go with my Christmas Trade gift and another with another gift.
