Hi All.
A while back I had forged a pair of small shop knives, I thought I would put up a photo. I made them by hand, as I do not have any power knife making tools, so I thought it would qualify for this forum.:)
They are both quite small and are forged out of a 1/4 inch 01 rod. The handles are made out of old maple flooring with a lignum vita guard.
Now that I have them I use them a lot around the shop, as long as I put them back that is, since they are small they get lost if I put one down.:mad: The blade of the top one is about a inch, and the bottom one is about inch and a half.
Cheers Ron.
