mushroom 12,389 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 That, is a thing of beauty mate I'd prefer a longer blade (20cm) in the same style. A blade for all functions 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,852 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very nice piece of craftsmanship. I love a full flat grind on a blade. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,036 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Not wishing to nick Spsurfer’s thread and keeping in topic, I watched a programme on which a geezer made a Bowie knife. With the hand bellows, hammers and anvil with all the heat and the hardening was a very interesting thing to see. Can’t deny I didn’t realise there was so much to a blade and that before the shoulder and handle. Very good. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
