knife #2 begins.

[simko]

Well, i got some 01 this morning, and i traced out a pattern..... and i started drilling around it, and ive been cutting.... boy this stuff heats up fast!!! but it sure is easier, and more fun to work with than that damn talonite.

 

[PhilL]

You made your first knife out of Talonite?

 

[Belstain]

That's just plain crazy

 

[simko]

i wont consider the talonite beast a knife.... i used it to scribe the shape on the steel im using now though!!

 

[ddavelarsen]

Yeah, and Aaron weren't you using hand tools to work that?

Dave

 

[simko]

nope, my amazing disc grinder, which actually really tore through that taloonite, and my disc sander, which also tore threough but lost all the grit on it :O

 

[simko]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

this knife started as a full tang, and i luckily banged it up pretty bad, so teh 2nd knife changes into a stick tang :O


if anyone has the wayne goddard 50 dollar knife shop, on page 67... the top diagram, if i do the "right" way, do i need to silver braze joints with a pommel cap and the screws and everythin?
