You should make... a sword

[jakethebeast]

my goal was to make a traditional damascus wiking sword, with the legendary 20 480 layers, from 52100 and 15n20 steels, but i dont have time now. busy with these two knifes, mayby il got time in the wintern...


esit: the puukko must be beautifull, even my GF thinks it is thats something

[inonickname]

What do you do your grinds with Jake? Belt grinder?

[Crna Legija]

Where I grow up in France, the traditional knife was this

As a young kid I always had one in my pocket, to cut sausage and bread for my meal in the wilderness, or cut some wood to make a slingshot

that made me really lol, then my bro next to me ask me why I lol so i showed him and he lol

we don't carry knives in aus because if your caught with one with out a very good reason $1000 on the spot fine, and if its around a night club its a $2000

[jakethebeast]

inonickname: yes, a belt sander. Its the most used tool in knifemaking

here in Finland its normal that people have Leatherman or samll puukko in their pocket, its ok as long they are hidden puukko is more a tool than average knife, its not ment for killing

[inonickname]

Did you build your own or buy one? Nice knives BTW

[mattyzip77]

I carry this most of the time,,,,,

It opens in a flash, I love smith and wesson knives! If they ever break, you can mail them in to the company and they will fix it and or send you a brand new one. I am actually a collector of s & w knifes. at last count, I had 35!!

[jakethebeast]

inonickname, i bought it when i started making knifes, 4" wide, cheap chinese sander, it was like 100€. still works like a charm after many years of use

[jakethebeast]

hi all! iv got another puukko to show you guys, finished this today.

blade is forged from silversteel, bolsters are brass and the handle is super-grade curly birch



i know it has fingerprint on the blade but that was best photo so it has to go

but tell me what ya think

and i know, its a double post but try to liv with it

[Gun Freak]

Are those scratches on your keyboard from your knife?
I kinda like the last one better because it had a bigger blade but still nice work!

[jakethebeast]

the blade is actually pretty same size, those big bolsters just make it looks smaller and yeah my keyboard has taken some hit, just like my table

EDIT: the blade is actually little larger

[jakethebeast]

again, sorry for double posting, but i want to get some life to this thread

havent had much time to make knifes, because of school and... and... well, i have a life just completed sewing of the shieth for the last knife iv posted, and im going to finish it tomorrow.

i took pictures of the wooden insert inside the handle, from the whole "rough" shieth and one pic from the sewing.

[LeMaudit]

double posting is when you send a message right after the previous one... one month later, you should be safe

Very nice work Jake! You can be proud of the result, impressive!!

[Gun Freak]

You're an artist!
