A couple of moded Victor Boxes
GruffaloGriff replied to GruffaloGriff's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Mice in the shed again so I dug out the modded victor boxes. Caught two at the same time on the first setting. I can't quite work out how they are both lying on their backs....can only think they were on their way back out when it cracked them. Their heads are folded at 90 degrees to their bodies. -
My sort of knife....100% recycled.?

Second hand AA S410.

Either you are fast at making knives riohog ......or you are making about £6 per hour. Nice looking pair of knives.

Someone on the page to make me a couple of knives

Latest knife laws, as of last month are making it a pain to post knives in the UK. Need proof of age before delivery. Posting outside UK is even worse with brexit export/ import duties. Loads of couriers are just refusing to carry knives. Can see it finishing a lot of Uk makers. -

Fantastic work as usual and nice photo's. ? A folder is a completely different kettle of fish to make. First one takes a lot of time to work out. Looks spot on that one and very functional. ATB Griff -
Just seen this now. Nice looking little forge. Finger not so nice. Angle grinder? Looks like it could do with a couple of stitches. Griff

I do like the look of that one. The G10 is practical but the bog-oak looks classy.

This is one my son has had on the go for a while. The wrought iron is a piece i pulled out of a skip, just thought it was mild steel rod, only realized when it was being forged into a pair of tongs. The tongs got abandoned and the wrought iron put to a better use. The blade is leaf spring from a series 2 landy.

Seems to be an issue with the URL reader on the site, usually works fine. Uploaded a few direct from the laptop but not all of them as allowance maxes out at 14mb. Griff

Recently finished this knife. I made it for a "knife in the hat" draw over on EM forum. The style is Kiridashi so ground on one side only with the other flat like a chisel. Ideal for cutting leather or anything else where you would run the blade along a straight edge.

Hand forged chain Damascus knife
GruffaloGriff replied to GruffaloGriff's topic in Countryside Skills, Craft & DIY
The chain is various high carbon steels and the core is high carbon leaf spring. I heat treated and tempered it as per 1095 carbon steel so expecting it to take & hold an edge alright...will let you know once i sharpen and give it a good test. -
This blade is made from motorbike chain hand forged on to a leaf spring core. I have experimented a few times with chain Damascus but this is the cleanest weld yet, not perfect but it has character. Very hard to eliminate all the voids in the chain beating it by hand...even though i spent probably half a day hammering away on it.... I will make a press one day. I had a smaller knife in mind when i started out but wanted to maximize the lump of rough forged "Damascus" I ended up with so it determined the size & shape of the final blank. The blade is 7.5 inches and handle approx 4

Very nice piece of craftsmanship. ? I love a full flat grind on a blade. -
