    your welcome rob was a long but good day , there was alot of problem solving to do with the blades we had but got there in the end ! they are stupid sharp guys , rob took to grinding straight away and they will look after anyone that buys them . the top one kev was fooked when we got it , it was only after we thought we should have taken pics before !

    long time no post , simply because iv been getting better equiped , not made a knife in ages so thought i better get practicing with the new grinder etc . so here is the first iv done with it . all made from files with some forging . the results are pretty good i think ? the big two are heavy duty thick files with a file work spine and belly one with sabre grind , and one with a "live " faulse edge . they are super sharp and will be as good as i can get them before they leave . there all designed to be used /customised etc you could allways do the metiorite pattern on them with some nail

    similar to that but not the same . i think its thick enough to not worry about the lost weight to much . it was more the point end i was thinking . hey you should do what you feel will be best nobody to blame then ha ha ..

    grit is a bit weak . 40 or 60 would be better . the tang can be soft it will do no harm to it . blow torch and a hammer could see that sorted . you could allways water quench it to get some hardness back in there if you felt you needed to . i did draw on a copy of the pic this morning but the computer said no .................... i thick if it was me . i would measure the width from the spine to where the edge begins at the handle end . mark the same distance at the tip and cut the edge back straight , give it a more angular look so loose the round nose and go straight . i wish i could draw

    oh yeah that one looks superb !! well done paul there yet better every time !

    looks good . be nice to see that tang lower , maybe 1" lower at the tip . i think it will improve handling and looks . i think thsat indent has to be there for a reason just got to work out what ? id worry it cre3ated a weak spot but 100 years seem to prove that not to be right !! linisher well needs a belt change or more pressure . it should have eat that rust away ! its a good start tho . all the best , matt

    well i like them both . i used to keep reza aseel and i really liked them ,one of my best stags was called "LT" (little twat) he would drum your feet when you went in to the pen to feed let them out or put them away . fight anything ! spend all day looking for ways to get to each other , but when accedents happend , once back in his pen he would tread every hen with a new found musto and hatch rates improved !! great and weird little birds .

    yeah not going to make to order etc , but as i need more tools i will make surplus as i cant get the steel in small volume . iv got 2 iv been hammering on for a couple of hours each that will be heavier and more square , they are more big metal shifters but in a similar weight class . i need to make some flatter hammers to at some point . only one left now . so feel free to make and offer but it will come off the postage as they cost £5 each to post recorded !!

  17. midnight
    sorry i have done it via pm about 15 times ha . as soon as all the new kit lands i will do a stock removal knife for you lads stage by stage . im gonna use my new grinder tho but i will say what tools you could use if you dont have a linisher . i think the making of hellmando 2 is a pic work in progress that should be on here ? im sure there is one on damascus to int there ?

    i wont get away with using it ? i have to use really expensive stuff from now on mate stuff , like mamoth tusk, coral, stabilised root ball . its not a negative about this wood not at all , just to fetch the money i need from mine the materials have to be expensive , jessus its gonna take some getting used to being all posh !! i reckon it would be usful for inserts on custom stock to this stuff , maple either side of it then splice that as a fore grip etc .
  19. midnight

    http://www.angele-sh...forging-hammers a little price comparison for you . i know thre is probably not enough forging on this site but you never know you might want to one day !! 2 more now sold only 2 left
  21. midnight

  22. midnight
    what calibre ? scope ? what mk is it 1 2 3 ? where in south yorkshire ?
  23. midnight
    these are expensive for hammer i know what your thinking , but the only place iv ever seen proper hand mades is american where they sell for $100 and the above mr bush makes them now and then for starting price of £90 + post . im not making much on this if at all , the steel was expensive , they have all been in the forge eating up gas because it takes along time and alot of heat to get them yellow all the way to the core . so gas +steel+time to forge+ aneal+grinding clean + more gas to heat treat+temper+good quality handle+time to fit it all to geather and finaly +post . if i had not done

    will the linisher do the same job? i have bought some 60 and flap paddles for the grinder but have 120 400 800 and 1200 and a sanding block also a buffing wheel that im hoping will be ok ,not sure which grit is on the linisher ,might just give it a quick blast and do the rest by hand. Jesus - it's an old billhook. Why all the fuss - if it's sound and the tang's in good nick just make/buy a new handle and ferrule - file any dinks out and take a stone to it for an edge and if you're gonna use it for work maybe a diamond sharpener. Why does it need all the fuss and a mirror finish - it's
