The Beamer

Raymond Richard · Jul 8, 2006

I had noticed a German auto grave yard several times on the way home and finally saw that it was open. I ended up getting a coil spring from a BMW and this is the results. 5 1/2" blade and 10 1/2" overall. Sambar stag and wrought iron fittings.

but see it's not .. nice work:thumbup:

Very nice flow on those lines, amigo!! But I gotta request a close-up shot of the blade texture. Dan wasn't the only one that thought "shear steel maybe?" when viewing that knife.

Greg, Its not shear steel. Its a patina that I did. The shear steel is pretty much a thing of the past. I've got a couple small pieces of it left.

Bruce, I hate to say it but the last car my dad had before he passed away was a Yugo. To bad that I traded it in. I was sitting on a goldmine and didn't know it.....

Hey Sandy, I don't know. The closest I've been to being in a Beamer was my Dad's Yugo.
