Knife work
Putting the finish on the turkey gun I'm building and since its a hurry up and wait job I've been doing some knife work in between. I had the blades already forged out so I just needed to finish them. The top knife hasn't been heat treated yet and the other two still need work on the handles. I kind of went to the dark side with the little drop point. I usually don't make modern looking blades but thought I would branch out a little. All the blades are 1084 steel with antler, maple, pewter and brass for the handles.

The lower two are nice enough, but I REALLY like that uppermost knife !
That silver (?) band around the handle is very distinctive.

Re: Knife work
Beautiful work! How do you heat treat a blade after the handle is installed?

Re: Knife work
Wish I had a tiny lick of your talent! Love the blade on the antler-handled knife.

Re: Knife work
Yeah, I really like that little one with the antler handle. Just the size you really need. And it looks really old.

Re: Knife work
The top knife is the only one that needs heat treating and the handle is just fitted but not attached. I always fit everything to the blade before heat treating it.
