Ted, Thanks! I had sold one single knife Saturday and bladegallery.com got the rest at the end of the show on Sunday. Guess you would say they bought the whole set.

Had a lot of head turns with the mini axes. Heard "cute" and "adorable" more than once. Had something happen that I never experienced before at a show, Sold Out! Looks like I need to start making all over again.

Doing the OKCA Show next weekend. Its the only show I do anymore and am looking forward to its opening. As you can tell I forged another ax head and just finished up another knife. The knife has a 5 1/2" 1065 blade, mild steel fittings and a sambar stag handle. 9 1/2" overall. Ax head is 4 1/2"...

Ben, Looking good! Did you make the sheath? I'll see you at the show which is just now a fuzz more than a week

I've had the small hunter done for a week or so and just finished up the bow tie ax today. The hunter has a 4" 52100 blade, salvaged steel and wrought iron fittings and a sambar stag handle. 8" overall. The ax has a 1065 head and oak handle.

I've been hoping my dog would drag one of those tusks home. I'm seeing a lot of teeth on the table but can't figure out what is between you and the tusk. Could it be a walrus skull?

I'll be 72 next month, I hear and am believing that after 70 brain farts occur much more frequently. Luckily I got my finger in very cold water within seconds after my senior moment. That really made a difference. Other than a huge blister on a third of my index finger it feels just fine now...

Back in 2006 I made several small axes and tomahawks and then none till just a few days ago. The little pickax was first and now its back to the axes again. Was working on number 3 yesterday when I forgot I'd just taken it out of the forge about a minute before I went and picked it up. That sure...

The S guard acts as a brake as well as being pretty.

The blade was hand forged to shape down to the edges on the bevels. Basically when I grind I grind off the outside layer that I forged. The grind is a flatish convex. I don't need a plunge line.

Overtime my belly has gotten bigger and my bowies have gotten smaller. There was a time when my bowie blades were as long or longer than this bowie at 13" overall. This one has a 8 1/2" 52100 blade and an ebony handle. I salvaged 1/4" steel from a salvaged car part and used that to make the S...

That there's a question mark ?

I hadn't been paying much attention to GRT49 ever since I got her half'ted. She just sat on the cluttered work bench looking pretty. Guess she got bored and then she became out of control. Every time I'd go into the shop there was another hole dug into my crushed rock floor. I finally had to put...

The knife and sheath go together well! A good handy size even for an adult.

This double post was caused by a senior moment.

I had purchased the pickax head at a knife show in Washington several years ago. It looked good and old and small enough that it interested me and I thought it would be a fun project if it didn't get lost in my shop. Turns out I had a couple small pick ax handles hiding in my shop except they...

Good looking bowie!

Lots of time but no small round files were used in the making of the fittings although they could be used. After I have the general shape of the fitting I chuck up a 4" abrasive wheel in my drill press and then create a small table out of the vise on the drill press. The wheel is used to cut a...

All you got to do is look in the right pile and you can find just about anything in my shop/mess...... In this case the pile of bones was on the top.
