Ringed knives

Bailey Knives · Mar 10, 2007

Since I have found a way to cut nice holes in steel. These knives have become some of my favorites.

Let me know what you think.

I will eventually move these into the for sale arena when I get the sheaths done. I had someone ask when I was going to make some more ringed knives, and these were almost done at the time, so I thought I would post progress so far.

I like it! Nice filework as well. What are you doing for cutting the holes?

I got what is called a holcutter. It was a bit expensive, but well worth it. Nothing else I have tried worked at all, and this thing cuts steel like butter.

These are great

That mosaic pin inlay is really slick.

Thanks guys. I drill the hole and press the pin to expand it. Between that and the epoxy, it should stay put.

They are both pretty cool, but I especially like the top one. It has really nice would and a blade shape that I find particularly appealing.

Way to go. I like them all very much!

I think they're both simply stunning! It shows that you have quite a bit of control in your execution. The top one is very elegant.
