Hey Cory I remember reading youre first post about this knife, it looks like the correct tool for the job! Oh yes i like youre logo, I wanted to use the longhorn skull for mine but opted for the kind off tribal look! It took me a long time to design(8 months to a year due to designing...

@ Stefan Thanx I love this 1070 it gives the nicest Hamon when doing an edge quench! @ Brad yeah it sucks but I’ve learned from my mistake, luckily I could save the project. I forgot to add the proportions it is: total length is 1 meter blade length is 45cm and handle 30cm Sheath 70cm @...

PS: My locking mechanism is not working as it should so I’m still trying to create a new lock for this cane that I can use it! This was a huge learning curve for me as knife maker and I have found out its not that easy! These are the swords we (SABA) had at the Guild show on display...

After gluing I found that the blade were not straight and tried to bend it, BEEEEG mistake my tempering was done for a knife and not a sword and I Snapped it At this stage I sat down all energy drain and no hope for tomorrow:hang:, with a lot of self petty:noway:!! I phoned a friend...

Here is a friends little dremel tool I used with a adapter as a router, it is to carve into the handle and sheath to insert a “washer” of brass on the handle and a piece of stainless on the sheath with computer hard drive magnets underneath them for a locking mechanism when the sword is closed...

I use long curing epoxy Epidermix 372 on the sheath and am now ready to put them together and clamp it down! All clamped now have to wait approx 24 hrs I grinded the blade up to 400 and hand sanded to 600# Now its time to grind out the handle part with the knob design included...

Directly after HT no grinding only cleaned with a cloth almost no scale. The wood was split in the middle for the sheath part and the blade marked out for “carving” with a router Carved / Routed Side 2 Drilled some holes for strength and grip when I epoxy it

Drilled and checked for correct fitment. Now its heat treatment time my friend Samurai Stu is helping out with that, (somebody must take the pics) the blade is at +- 5 to 6mm thick here.

Good day gentleman I have not posted any knifes in a long time but did try my hand in making a sword with a WIP or show and tell (it is also a lot of work the Wip) seeing that some guys do them for us to learn from. You can call this a Shikomizue or a Sword cane. It is most famous for its...

Hi Tracy I’ve been reading this thread in awe of all the nice woods you are trying to stabilize:35:, and I caught the part about the bone coloring with multi colors! I have never done it but my friend (SA Guild member) told me his way for coloring giraffe bone. He takes his spirit dye blue or...
