Brother-In-Law Knife

Robert Dark · Mar 20, 2006

My brother-in-law wanted to try his hand at making a knife, so he designed, and with a little help, forged this one and helped with the heat-treat. He did all the final sanding, and all of the handle work. Pretty much all I did was give him a pointer here and there. Of course, sometimes I would simply tell him........ "Ah Heck, let me show you what I mean".

He is as proud as a fat tick on a dog.

Forged 1065
Malee Handle
OAL 10 1/2"
Blade Tip to Handle 5 3/4"

Thanks for lookin'

A fine blade! It will last a long time. What sort of sheath does it get to live in?

Well Frank, that is his next project. He will be introduced to the wonderful world of "Leather Frustration"

Thanks gang for your comments. I think Scott had a good time making this, and he just may be "hooked".

I wish I had the talent (plus the equipment) to produce a piece as nice as that.

Congrat's to the both of you.

That's a great design for a hunter. It's going to look really good with a little age and a few miles on it.
