Intro with some own made knives

[thomas hauschild]

Hi

I'm now here since 4 years and I like to introduce myself with some examples of my work. I have no hp, so I hope it will be ok to link some pictures from a german forum. If not please just delete my post.

I have started nearly 25 years ago with a first knifekit as many others, now after all this years I forge my blades and make my own damascus too. Since this summer I'm member of the german knifemaker guild. I prefer absolutly carbon steels and gripmaterial like bone, stag, and fossil material.

Lets go to the main things....knives

A typical size for my small using knives like the following( german laws are unbelivable ) is 7 inch overall with a bladethickness of 0,08 inch. Bladesteel is 1.2442 a german special knifesteel with 1,15%carbon and 2 % tungsten. Fullgrip of mammouthivory, I like to rivet the tang with an endcap.





Typical 7 inch knife with stellers seacow and wrought ironspacer



And this example with water buffalo



But I like, no I love to make bigger knives like this 15 inch fighter with bamboo-micarta



A 15 inch damascus fighter with sanmai blade. For the bigger knives I make hollow spacers, surrounding the grip, here made of wrought iron



Hope the links will work

Best regards Thomas

Hi Thomas -

Your links work, I was able to link to one of the pictures on the other forum -

Your other forum may not like that practice, however, as that is using their bandwidth and they are not gaining anything by the practice.

You can use free picture hosting sites, like photobucket.com - just search google for free image hosting.

Once you upload your pictures, you can copy the location and post them here for us to enjoy your work - and your work looks very fine!

Welcome to finally posting on the forum!

best
