Todd, did you weld or braze that skull thumper in there?
 
Todd, did you weld or braze that skull thumper in there?

The skull crusher I welded. Actually. The inside of the crusher is threaded. Then there is a turnbuckle nut welded in the handle. Then a cut down bolt connects them and allowed me to take it apart during the fab. process. I put the knife on my rockwell. The harness lowers the the further back you get. So I could weld at the pommel. The finger gaurd area was hard. Weld wouldn't penatrate and it would effect the heat threat. So that is soldered. Murph called me a few mins. ago and said he had a few more picks. I asked him to post them. Check them out. Your a skilled craftsman. You will be able to see it.
 
Here ya go sir!

Thanks for the pics Murph! Oh, by the way, since I know your at work right now. Just thought you might wanna know I'm in the process of finishing off the delicious brew you left here over the weekend! Haha!
 
Dang, From the title I was expecting another ho hum mod thread, now I have to clean up coffee spew and change my pants from wetting them.

Absolutely fabulous work there!
 
Awesome job, sir. My first thought wasn't pirate knife, but Bill Moran inspired knife. I mean that as the highest compliment. The guard and handle shape remind me of his work. Beautiful sheath, too. If that's your first snakeskin inlaid sheath, then I can only imagine how amazing the 100th will be. What did you make the guard and pommel out of? Beautiful work, and thanks for the photos.
 
Incredibly cool mod and amazing work. Lucky friend you've got or is it the other way around?
