Food and Blades

[Horsewright]

If you ever need any railroad spikes, to make a knife or three, let me know.

We had billions of em when we had the ranch. We literally had two steel sports type lockers fill of em. Gave most of them away. From a practical point even the high carbon spikes don't really have enough carbon to make a good user. Much of the fencing on most ranches in this area incorporates a lot of railroad ties:

Railroad ties holding these fence panels up too:

We're actually standing on one of those lockers looking over the fence. It had fallen over many many years ago.

Here's a knife that will turn a bull calf into a steer and the steer will be food:

Rope eye view:

Time to brand em:

I just watched a video short, of a guy making a knife out of a spike. It looked kinda like the Marfione logo knife.

For wall art they're pretty nice, wouldn't use one for much else.

If I hear of any tie projects happening locally, I'll let you know.
