All About Pocket Knives

Goblin slayer

It is 27.5 cm / 11 inch long, the blade is 15 cm/ 6 inch long with a thickness of 5 mm / 0.2 inch.
It is a damascus san mai with about 200 layers, which I hand forged from 5160, L6 and 1.2516. The handle is made of deer antler and leather disks.
The sheath is made of 4 mm/ 0.16 inch thick, sturdy cowhide.

Handy little fellow and ideal companion for longer walks in the forest or on mountain hikes. Helpful at peeling an apple, when you sit on a fallen tree trunk at lunch time, while goblins are lurking behind you in the bushes. Carving runes into a stick to pass time in the hung up cage waiting for the water to boil up in the huge cauldron, after the goblins rushed you and dragged you away to their cave in the thick woods. Guess who's coming to dinner?!
And finally eviscerating those pesky goblins with great delight, after you manage to free yourself from their primitive cage, thanks also to your trusty little knife and a well developed frontal lobe.
This one also works like a charm on heavily armored mountain trolls as well

Your work blows me away! Bravo! In my next life I'm going to make knives. J.O'.

Awesome work, hellize. I always enjoy looking at your knives and reading your stories.

Thanks a lot!
But why don't you make them in this life?

Glad you like them

Good question. Any answer I'd give would just sound like an excuse, but there are many. I'll just enjoy your work. J.O'.

Yeah, I have a few plans like that as well, which will most probably never materialize.
Guess a man can't have it all...

Gorgeous !!! Nice to see you still pounding iron Helize...

Glad to hear you are happy with yours!
Yes, I am! Whenever I can find a bit of time for it

Hey, it's because of you that the goblins are included in the Red Book of Endangered Species.
Neighbor, is the word "upir" known in Romania?

Hehehe
I heard about them, a kind of vampire in slavic folklore, if I'm not mistaking.
It is not used around here. Romania and also Hungary for that matter aren't slavs, but we are wedged between slavic nations. A quite unusual and interesting topic.

I'm another one of those guys who'd like to make knives...but I don't have a good place to set up shop. (Knife repair and restoration is a little more attainable.) Maybe one day I will. Until then, I can always enjoy the knives shown in this thread. The Goblin Slayer has great lines and would be very useful in camp, even if one doesn't have many worries about goblins in the area. Great job!

Yeah, I know it's an effort to build a shed just for this and an unjustified one if we are completely honest with ourselves. But hey, I am rarely accused with making rational choices
