Pressed Roller Bearing

[Wade Hougham]

A friend from Oregon sent me some roller bearings and this is what I did with one of them.
The blade is 8" and the overall length is 14 1/2". The handle is elk leg bone with a rawhide wrap.
I used my new press to flatten the bearing and then hand forged the blade. This press is going to be a lot of fun!!!!!

Wade,

Cool knife but your killing me buddy ! You can't say "new press" and not show some pics of it.

Color me jealous and let me say congrats on the new addition.

Wade, that handle is gorgeous! How did the metal move? I've got a bunch of bearings but don't know if my arm will take it. Nice job......Randy
