This one is going to be used as a prop right now, its dull enough to where I can squeeze my hand around it and pull it and it won't even leave a mark. (that's also what she said hahaha.) After the show though its going to be sharpened.

If it doesn't cut, then it really isn't a knife. It's just a knife shaped piece of steel.

Knife is a very, VERY wide term. I wouldn't say it's not a knife, it's a prop-knife.

Lab, correct me if i remember wrong, but really, was some douche shredding cans with that knife i made for you, and it still stayed razor sharp?

He was cutting the tops of Grolsch cans, I have a patch of missing hair as a prove

Does this count?

Yep... I'm thinking of making a tomahawk, I have a sheoak branch cut and stripped drying for it. Really nice, striking wood

Made that yourself? Nice!

Haven't made any tomahawks, because people here said that i should stay with Nordic tools

BTW, roughly forged and sanded a 15cm leuku blade today, i might be able to finish the forging tomorrow

Very nice tomahawk!!! Me likey!!!

Nah. It's a Cold Steel (used to be) spike hawk. Didn't really have a need for the spike, but I did want a pole, so I just cut it off. Blued the blade, worked the handle, and viola. I do a lot of camping and bushcraft type stuff and this blade is just about the only one I need.

Got another one coming though. Cold Steel makes okay tomahawks, but I wanted a custom one. It'll probably take about a couple of weeks for the smith to finish it.

I absolutely love this thread and couldn't bear to see it die yet . Just thought I'd do an update on knives i]I've been acquiring. I recently picked up a delica 4 ffg , I was also sent 2 benchmades for free by a very generous friend of mine, and a Tapio Wirkkala puukko from another guy I know. Expect tons of pics when they arrive.

hey have you guys every heard of IKBS for a knife pivot? it looks like this.

im looking at buillding a folder using it if anyone has any good advice.

sorry if it looks like i was just asking for help, i just want to see what you guys think about it.
