Knife I just made

[LARRYZ10]

I think the thing that gets my goat is when pore quality knives are passed off as “rustic” or “period” blades. To me it’s a dead giveaway showing a lack of skill and minimal knowledge. All this does is hurt the custom knife community as a whole. But with that said, if that’s the best blade you can make at this point in your life then that’s ok. Just call it what it is and don’t try and pass off the lack of craftsmanship and fit n’ finish as somthing you where trying to do.

For exzample this is a “Rustic” blade I just finished.

I’m not saying you should be at this level. But new makers need to own up to there lack of experance and not pass the buck.

If anyone is interested i will post a thread on how I did this blade.

I would like to know how you fitted the antler to a keyhole shape. It is very nice . Larry

About 5 gallons of coffee, a chunk of lead and a tiny D2 scraper. As well as a wife that would come in and bring me food.

I will do a build thread for it maybe tonight. The guard is multi bar twist Damascus and the keyhole section is wrought iron. Sneak peak

Saw steel was/is usually L6, if I recall correctly. Very tough stuff. Also, most people I see that are in renaissance fairs are dressed in the pre Renaissance style. Not like Florentine merchants at all.

Thanks for the compliment! I really appreciate it! Hopefully one of these days I will have more tools and make more stuff.
