I decided that this summer, before I head off to college, I'm going to try to go full time as a knifemaker and swordsmith. Here's the first two of that endeavor.
The edges are nice and thin, so they're quite sharp. basically zero ground, then a small secondary bevel. I've found I am never disappointed with a thin edge. The finish on the blades is quite rough at a 220 grit hand rubbed finish, designed to take use without scratching easily. The sheaths are veggie tanned leather coated in beeswax to repel moisture. There is a copper suspension ring on each.
Materials:
local oak
copper
birch bark
1075
African Blackwood (2nd one's bolster)
AOL- 8 1/2"
blade length- 3 1/2"
thickness- 1/8"
$200 each
Paypal would be best, if you have it. My email is lukethebladesmith@yahoo.com
Thanks for looking!
