A buddy is getting into re-enactments on a budget so I pimped out an Old Hickory for him. I'm thinking of adding a few small brass nails...I haven't decided yet. Going to make a rawhide sheath.

Real cool Trade. :thumbup:

That should do quite well. :thumbup: A little after Thanksgiving I dug out and sharpened up a group of Mom's old Hickory knives since I noticed around Thanksgiving that her kitchen knives were practically useless (which was mostly a diversion to hold her off buying any kitchen knives until she could receive the J.A. Henckels I bought her for Christmas). I need to track down a few for me. They are solid old blades.

Oh, I really like the blue cinch sack as well. :cool:

and ugly skirts.

looks like it has a bottle opener on the back fit for pony keg.
the recurve near the base of the blade must be for fine work, like making fuzz sticks and trap notches.

I was also wondering what the heck he is wearing around his neck.... Anybody have a clue?

I suggest keeping it away from bigghoss...he likes pretty things... :D
 
@TBL, He might allow it but his sister would knock you into next week if you tried. :D

@GSO, No comment. :D
 
Well Ladies and Jellyspoons yesterday I received my knife back from Todd... The 15 month project has finally come to a close. Figured since it started in here, might as well bring things full circle. I should be posting some more in the thread over at Todd's corner of the forum, but as of this moment we finished it. Thanks Todd, I cannot say that enough.




And here is the full thread!

Yes, I can. The real questions are, do I want to, and how much are you willing to spend? ;)

It's a normal respirator (quite a good one, I'm told) that he cobbled up to make it look "steam punk" :rolleyes:

Methinks thou dost protest too much. You know you love it!
 
Glad you like the knife Zach, I know you worked hard on it. Well done man.

JD. I dont envy you at all dealing with your website. That sucks. My website has been a pain in my ass and I don't even mess with it, I have a person reconstructing it now, the goal is for it to be all new before my magazine pieces hit.

In other news, I couldn't sleep at all last night, stomach was bothering me, so I got up at 3 a.m. went out to the shop and ground, heat treated and drew 8 knives. Came in at 9 a.m. took a 1 hour nap and woke up feeling worse. Figured more I layed around the worse it would be. So, I went out to my buddies shop and got a few things done, then threw up my lunch. Now anything I drink comes out the other end. Gotta love the stomach flu. Wish I could of at least made it through the first month of the new year before I got sick. :grumpy:
 
Oh and by the way Zach, my son Jared did the lanyard on your knife. So, I cant take the credit for that! :thumbup:

Sounds like a challenge! game on!

Sweet looking knife IWHF!

JT, what I'm willing to pay and what I can afford to pay are two different things at this moment ;) I have no problems dropping coin on a well made tool (my expensive folder habit of 2014 kinda speaks for itself). I ain't going anywhere brother, when I can, I'll hit you up with my idea for a giant sword :D


Sorry you feel like crap Todd! get well soon man!
 
trade - nice work on the old hickory.
Cbear -- that looks like shelf fungus.
