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.

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.

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

Heard a while back mention of sharpening with MDF wheels but never really paid much attention. I recently thought i would give it a go and turned up a quick MDF wheel on the face-plate of my wood-working lathe. I clamped a makeshift guide to the back of the lathe and worked with the wheel turning away from me. I was blown away by the results! Super sharp paper slicey edge straight off the wheel. Decided a dedicated MDF wheel sharpener was high on the list of must haves so started gathering bits. I was lucky enough to pick up an old 8" Makita bench grinder on ebay for £25. Everythin

Here is the UK legal carry Opinel mod slip-joint i have been working on. I dropped the point on the original no8 blade and shortened it to 3" The slightly unusual shape was determined by the central pivot point and steps in the original blade. You can see this from the pre-assembly pic. Although it looks slightly unusual it has the advantage of giving a shoulder to place your thumb on which actually holds the slipjoint spring in making it even more solid and less likely to fold up on your fingers than a normal slipjoint design. Milled brass liners with soldered

A little something for the Mora fans that don't want a fixed blade. 104mm Sandvic stainless Mora blade with the classic scandi grind. N0 8 Opinel hardware and fitted to red stag antler with stabilized core. Phosphor Bronze contact plates to give smooth long lasting action. Overall length of knife is 140mm P1100485 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1100465 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1100464 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1100482 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1100459 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1100469 b

Thought you would like to see the latest off the production line from my son. Medium sized full tang, not sure what the style would be described as but very much his own style and design coming to the fore. The thick blade gives his characteristic long grinds. The 100mm blade is series 2 Landrover leaf spring and overall the knife is 195mm long. Soldered brass bolsters (he was a bit miffed he scratched the blade cleaning the excess solder off), teak handle, copper pins.

.....A knife made from a wheel bearing. Recently changed the front wheel bearing on my car. I had heard the steel can make good blades so did a bit of research. Bearing steel tends to be Bohler 52100 and indeed makes good knife steel with a good chromium content keeping the carbide grains small and the blade tough. I made this carver for the kitchen, similar to the shape of the one that it is replacing (inferior cheap stainless and now well worn from sharpening). The handle is melamine, not the most exotic looking but functional. The blade is made from the opposite side

This is the latest from my lad. A very fine 240+ layer Damascus kitchen knife. He hand forged the Damascus from layered industrial band-saw blade and circular saw blade. He spent most of the day forge welding the blade all on the anvil with a hammer. Drawing it out, cutting & re-stacking then drawing out again. Used the waste oil forge and ran about 30 liters of waste oil through it....happily it is free fuel. It is a very slicey blade and now has pride of place in our kitchen. 301mm over all and the blade is 178mm x 23mm x 2mm P1100358 by Terry Griffith

My lad has been churning some work out of the workshop with the extra lockdown time. He made this Bowie to be used and abused so just did a quick handle and left it rough ground.

My son made up this surface grinder jig using the slide off a scrapped cross cut woodworking saw. The adjustment screw is from a car jack. The rest is out of the scrap pile. At the moment the blades just get stuck to the platten with double sided tape. A magnet chuck will be added later.

My lad (now 20, don't know where the years went) made this custom flipper for my anniversary. He has made a lot of fixed blades but this is his first folder so he has set a pretty high bench mark for himself! Blade is 01 tool steel with Stainless Liners and Oak scales

Been busy with other things so not made a knife for a while. There is a KITH over on EM and the challenge was to make a Puukko form recycled materials....right up my street. Blade ground form a HSS industrial planer blade. Handle is stacked from recycled brass, copper, stainless and filled in with denim Micarta. All cast onto the handle in a oner then ground to shape.

It is an idea that has been floating around in my head for a while....using wast oil to fire a forge up to welding temp. Anyone that does much forge welding knows fuel is expensive! I was looking to keep it as simple as possible so gravity fed fuel and low pressure air with no fancy nozzles to get clogged. This is the solution i came up with. Based around an old propane bottle. Filled with water and cut top and bottom off. P1090436 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1090437 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr">P1090438 by Terry Griffiths, on Flickr"
