    Second hidden tang and first full forge.

    Because I have never done it before and I have no tools. Honestly the shape came out fairly quick, but then I hammered in the bevels and could not get it flat without messing up some other aspect. I would stop and try again several nights and finally it worked out. I will learn the tricks but...

    Second hidden tang and first full forge.

    Thank you sir, but seriously a lot of time. The shape was really determined by what happened on the fly. I did not have anything in mind. I finally decided that I did not like the outer texture of the antler and ground down past it. It is red stag, so lots very little pith on the brow time.

    Second hidden tang and first full forge.

    Still learning and adding skills, but happy so far. I forged this out of 1095 and it took forever. Already have a new hammer on the way. Antler handle with ironwood. I crushed the turquoise and used the superglue technique. I wanted the wood to appear more distressed and missed the mark...

    Attaching steel to copper

    I have done some filework, just not as precise as some of you. I will probably do this as a finishing touch. I like to add on as much as I can to learn.

    Attaching steel to copper

    I went ahead with what I could find and yes ways to improve, but this suits my style nicely. I still need to file down the little bit of protruding screw head. It did not go in perfectly straight, but it is not going anywhere ever! Thanks for the ideas. I do know I could have hid the screw...

    Attaching steel to copper

    Thanks guys. I never even thought about an actual screw. I could mess that up, but sounds like an idea. I would not mind the head being part of the design. I like a little rustic anyways. Let’s see what I can do.

    Attaching steel to copper

    I am still learning how to make knives, but I tend to design as I go and then make mods after time. Just a hobby and not selling anything. I decided to file out a star in 1095 and wanted to attach to this copper piece. Will JB Weld hold it fine, or do I need to also drill a hole and pin it...
