Very nice! And a railroad spike knife/sword with good steel as well. Genius!

You might be "first time" poster, but not by any means "first time" knife maker. GREAT WORK!!!!! the joy of a railroad spike and good steel of 1080.

Very cool Andy. I lost your contact info when we talked last year. If you still want to get together and talk knives shoot me an e-mail.

Cool. How did you work in the fuller?

AndyAlm · Oct 28, 2015

Thanks everybody. Fuller was freehand ground on a stone wheel.

Then polished with greaseless compound on a sisal buff.

I looked at the pictures and didn't see the 1080 laminated sentence. I was very confused. Super cool!

Great work! I also thought that you stretched out the blade too.

Man, I like everything about this blade! From the railroad spike to the final shape.
Looks like something a bad guy would carry on the tv series Hell On Wheels.

Any plans for a scabbard?
