Members bland Posted May 3, 2020 Members Report Posted May 3, 2020 Looking at that knife, I wouldn't say it just looks like you know what you are doing. You know what you are doing. Looks like maybe two files a round file and triangle file? Quote
Members machinehead Posted May 3, 2020 Members Report Posted May 3, 2020 Great job. I would hate to own one like that because it would be the one I drop and I hope it wouldn't be the one I catch. Quote
Members dikman Posted May 3, 2020 Members Report Posted May 3, 2020 Very nice work, Chuck. Stag handles, brass bolsters, polished blade - bit over the top for a skiving knife!!! I've got a partially built gas forge but never got around to finishing it 'cos I just like messing around with the coke forge too much. I mainly need to make the burner, I suppose I should finish it one day. Now you've got me thinking I should make another round knife just so I can fit stag handles, they just look cool.

Thanks yea it came out pretty nice, much better than my ground down putty knife and about 60 on the hardness scale. Would love to have a coke forge I live in coal country. If you need pics of my burner let me know I did a lot of research and then built one that will run naturally aspirated or with a blower. and its super easy to build. It'll turn regular fire brick into a puddle of glass lol.
