Make him sign it, so when he's famous you'll be rich.This took one of my best friends a while to make. It was his first. A farrier rasp turned into a very cool piece. I had always wanted something like this and he was just starting to get into tempering etc., so, I hit him up with my idea. This is his interpretation of my ideas. He hit it out of the park style wise. I had to promise to return it after sharing, as he had some edge finishing he wants to do. At 16 1/2”, she’s a hakdfull! I may work the handles a bit more to fit my hand, and make a kick ass sheath for it. Probably a leather scabbard type with a hanging loop and leg tie. Anyway, I dig it.

The broad one looks interesting, too.My latest creation. It’s carbon steel abd offset beveled chisel grind edges that I smoothed out on the final grind. It’s not tempered as hard as would have liked but it was my first try at tempering a blade from scratch. I made the scales out of a hickory limb I gathered the other day. I threaded the scales and rivet holes in the tang and used machine screws to hold the scales in place. I’ll get a scabbard for it made and it’ll be ready for carry. View attachment 2988266
It’s a primitive that appears to be made out of a saw blade. Pretty cool piece. I’ll try to remember to post some pics of it this week!The broad one looks interesting, too.
This one is carbon steel. It can't have been at all used when I bought it.
