Wrought Iron and Stag
I made this med sized hunter for my brother in law to take to work, and show his coworkers , and hopefully get some orders unk:
I really wanted the grain of the wrought iron to run with the handle, but the wagon wheel I had wasn't thick enough. So I forged a piece down to about 1" square, rounded it, then drew it out to about the right sizes for the front and back of the handle. Just an FYI , thin hidden tangs ( .110" ) are a PITA to make guards for , LOL Needle files need bigger handles..... 4" X .110" thick AB Damascus blade 8" OAL Wrought Iron guard/bolster and butt cap India Stag antler handle Tooled leather sheath Some pics of the wrought And now of the knife Thanks for looking Dwane |

Turned out nicely. Might consider cross section of anchor chain next time if you want the grain going that direction. Or, stack welding the wagon rim to thickness.
I use a lot of WI myself ...... good stuff. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |
