Forged blade

Post by Rockingkj »

This is what happens when I’m left a home unsupervised. Started this blade yesterday. 1/2 of a farriers rasp. Lots of pounding that thick stuff. Elk antler handle. Crude but intended for the Blackpowder crowd.

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Awesome knife! What's the black powder crowd? I have a few black powder revolvers, that's why I ask. ::nod::👍
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Oh it folks like me that gather and camp like it’s 1840. Having black powder shooting match’s, tossing tomahawks and knives, primitive archery and a social gathering which can include adult beverages on occasion.

It is. A lot of folks go into great lengths to dress in period clothes and the rendezvous camp can look like it’s 1840. Like a lot of hobbies, some great people the quickly become friends.
