My 2 knives

I have made both of these from "mostly" finished carbon steel blades.

BTW possibly a dialup warning. The images are 800x400 ish and jpgs compressed.

The Bowie is a 7" blade with a brass guard and a water buffalo horn handle.


The "eating" knife is stabilized wedge wood with carbon fiber bolsters (they just about disappear) The eating knife had a mirror finish but is getting used so its getting a patina on the blade. It has a superglue finish , I made it first.

I am still working on my forging , its finally cool enough here in texas to work on it more. But I have not created a blade that I felt good enough about to finish.

What do you think?

 

Like Melbo said both are nice but I love the bufflo horn handle, that is to cool.

Very nice!... horn and other natural materials are always nice... keep up the good work!

 

I, also, am digging the bufflo horn.

 

Thanks for all of the comments, I am trying to decide what the next one will be. I am currently in the middle of a AK build so it will be a little while. Using the BFH method is painful.
