Forged Blacksmith Knife

Here is another of my hunters in this style where I attach the handle tail to the ricasso.

The blade is 4 inches with an OAL of 8-1/2 inches.






You can see the rivet attachment. The handle is countersunk so it remains solid.

Love it.

Very nice! Elegant shape and just the right amount of finishing. Is it well balanced? Do you ever sell items you've made?

First-class work. Simple and elegant.

Thanks gentlemen.

Archwind, it balances good. That's a pet peeve of mine. Yes I sell my knives.

Really like it !

 

[Bob Leedy]

Elemental in the best sense.

 

[Leonid Evdokimov]

Very nice. And the "guard" is just making it complete!

Very nice work Lin. Such great hammer control, there is just no way to hide mistakes or poor hammer skills. The way you use a stand off on the ricasso to attach the handle back to the knife is brilliance. It appears that the handle section is thicker than the ricasso and spine, any chance you could show a view of that portion?

I got to handle one of these at Blade. They look good but more importantly balance nicely and feel good in the hand.
