Quoted: big ole tanto Quoted: Yeah, what he said. I suppose it could be a fun revisit to the tanto/kwaiken thing I made out of the planer blade a while back. I'll think on it. Quoted: neato! Im excited to see what you make! I'm torn. If it was a bit taller I'd be thinking about a petty chef or something of the like. I had impure thoughts about trying to forge bevels into it to see if I could get it out to ~1.5-1.75" at the heel but I have basically no experience forging so I'd probably just ruin it. Lol A dagger could be fun too. It was an impulse buy and I didn't really have any ideas in mind. I'm not in a huge hurry. I'm sure the right project will come along. |

I snagged a picture of these two at my in-laws today. The one on the bottom was from the first batch of these that I made as gifts for last Christmas. The top one is from the last batch of them that I made.
It's pretty cool to see the difference in the work from a year ago.  Attached File |

I'm getting things moving a little on something a little bit different than the knives I have been working on.
 Attached File Attached FileThe owner of the all black harpoon point that I made a while ago contacted me and asked if I could make something like an XL version of the one he had. That one has a 3.5" blade from 3/32" 1084. This one is a 4.5" blade and will be from 3/16" 80CrV2. I'm thinking about calling it the "angry utility knife" because he wanted something that he could use in a self defense role (should the need arise) and be useful around a construction site. I don't pretend to know anything about knife fighting, but most of the designs I could come up with involved a point that I felt wouldn't stand up to construction tasks.(dude actually mentioned digging wood out from around the head of a nail to be able to grab it). I think this design will be a decent balance of tip strength and stabbyness. Any ideas on changes? |

Getting started on this one. I think I'm going to do some grinding pre HT. I don't usually do that but I don't normally work with 3/16" stock.
 Attached FileIt's going to have a recurve but I'm going to grind it in and blend the primary grind after the top of the grind is where I want it. Between that and the swedge/harpoon point I'm going to have to do some learning on this one to get things how I want them. |

Pre HT grind done. I took the edge down to about 5/64"and stopped the plunge and top of the grind about 1/4" short of where I want them to end up.

"brodbeck ironworks"
I got some work done on this one today. Took it to .007" on the edge and a 220 grit belt finish. I still need to round the spine and inside the heel of the blade, then hand sand. It's made from 1/8" 80CrV2. It's .106" at it's thickest point now. It's an 8" blade with a 1.75" heel.  Attached File |

I've been meaning to make myself a knife to use at work for quite a while. This leftover chunk of 3/16" 80CrV2 was too tempting. 3" blade, 3½" handle. I've got it set up to be a naked tang but I can do removable scales if I hate it. It's about 75% ground pre HT. It's hollow ground and I'll grind it pretty thin, .010" on the edge at the thickest.

I got these two heat treated this weekend.
Today I had some time to get some grinding done.  Attached FileThe bevels are basically done on the harpoon point. I still need to get the swedge grinds done though. On my warncliffe I still need to cut the plunge grinds in and decide how I'm going to finish the flats(the whole knife besides the bevels.) I also finished grinding on this guy. I'm definitely liking the taller heel on this one (2"). I took the edge to about .004". I did leave the tip at .008" because I wanted to make sure it had some support so it wasn't too floppy. Time to hand sand this one.  Attached File |
