    There nowhere to be seen on my small permission .. Started at 7 this morning and got 3 for 3 shots by 11 .. The rape is well on but they don't seem interested . Just cruising round as if there on benefits ha ha Any ideas what there feeding on ?? Not much wild food left now , but maybe not cold enough to resort to eating the rape ?? I believe they don't kike the rape they just eat it through desperation in the cold months .

    you would hate it , im a right prick to work for ha ha . iv forged one spear head , it was a winged flemish spear head , random as hell and took about 30 attempts to get right , the guy just said make it sharp and full size , so i did , went to deliver it and he took me stalikng for the evening , turns out it was for sticking boar , the guy had killed them all over earth as his hobby , its gets weird tho , he does in in full medievil clothing in teams of re-enactment types . he never uesed it he said because it wasnt correct !! cheeky twat , its f***ing hand forged ?? anyway , a weird st

    Yep I got you on the list socks , I think il order enough steel for 4 so I have one spare ....
  10. midnight
    Let me try again . I need to order some steel so will look at that tomorrow . There's enough of you interested to make it worth me trying again ... The cost of that steel is going to make my eyes water tho . I have to buy half meter lengths . The handle on the one that got away wasn't right for my eye , not if I'm totally honest , funny thing I'm make this stuff up as a go along with customs but have something very specific in mind when I start .. I was about 85% right in that one .. Iv got a better idea of what the pit falls are now . But that grips gotta be right . There blade heavy th

    I think he is sort of confused (the tutor) there's pretty much only one way of heat treating , heat and rapidly cool . Some steel is air hardening , some water and so on . The same as tempering , some steels need heat to temper others cold (cryogenic tempering) I work along side blacksmiths , there understanding of carbon steels the hardening and tempering is pretty limited and confused . Just the same as my forging skills and General metal work , they can forge things I can't , but they can't select steel correctly or forge a good knife for toffee . There pattern welding is terrible to ,

    Oil , whys that ?? I rarly use water hardening steel and even then I use oil

    Cleaver chopper isn't going to happen this time !! Out of 3 blades I was working on today 2 haven't made the grade and are snapped in the scrap bin , the chopper was one of them . Long story but that one is never going to happen . I managed a great knife from the blade that survived . I'm just making a sheath now , then I'm getting pissed !! Long day today and it's doesn't seem worth it ! Iv had to make a heat treating gas forge from scratch then list the two blades and all the money on materials and time ... It's another day tomorrow right ??

    £20 each .. I won't be making super cheap like that again , I made them as a reaction to some posts on here , it iv lost money on them !
  18. midnight
    That's a stainless blade . I'm pretty sure you can't patina it ?? Most the household food products , brown sauce , mustard , Lemmon , are either alkaline or acidic reactions to the steel . Lemon is acidic . For etching or a mark you are going to need really strong acid to even touch it . The acids I use to etch my Damascus don't even touch stainless . I have to use watered down battery acid to etch it .. You need a nice properly heat treated carbon steel blade .

    Thanks ? I'm working on the chopper animal all day tomorrow . I put the first stage pre heat treatment grind on it and it's feeling pretty good . It has immense cutting power (couldn't help my self had to hack at something ha ha )

    Thanks gents !! I'm almost sold out again ? a genuine thank you for trusting your hard earned money with me !! Born to hunt il make pretty much what anyone wants right now !! I'm maybe 2 weeks off getting any laser cuts here in my hands so just want to be busy earning funds until then . The hellmando and avatar knife did have very similar blade profiles your right , BUT the Bowie pattern I'm working on is similar but slightly more curvy . I might do a small Bowie and midium as the pattern allows for both . I need to go get some antler soon , I raped the suppliers for the nicest stuff

    Ha ha , this is positive !! I have two half made suitable for stalking , and two made (Damascus) in the misc for sale section. One of the knives I'm working on is similar to a loveless 4" drop point hunter , arguably one of the most successful and sought after knives of the last century . Of course Mine is a simplified version of the original for pricing reasons . Iv sold many stalkers knives over the years and everyone of them has ideas of what the best knife should be . I do try to design knives that I could and would use myself , if I cant I don't generally make them . For stalking
