Plow Steel and Bone

[Stuart Willis]

Finally after being stuck on hawks for a while I finished up a knife. Forged from an old spring tooth cultivator plow. Shin bone for a handle. Mild steel for the bolster.

Those just forging marks, Stuart , or is that the internal steel composition?

 

[Stuart Willis]

Thanks every one I appreciate it

Bruce, Those are not forging marks. You can't even feel them when you run your finger over them. It is the cold bluing and then bleach soak.

GREAT looking knife Stuart !! I love that bleach/blued finish, absolutely love it ! If you get the chance do you think you could briefly run down the process ?

 

[birdog4]

Ah, OK. I have a buddy who uses that process. Looks good!

Thats one of the nicest loking "period type" knives I've seen, and that goes for the blade and the bone.
