KNIFE MAKING


Recommended Posts

WELL MATE ,

 

GOOD RESULT WITH THE TIMBER !!!

 

WHEN I LOOK BACK AT THE BLOCKS OF TIMBER THAT HAVE BEEN THROWN AWAY EITHER BY ME OR IN MY PRESENCE IT MAKES ME SICK , AS I HATE WASTE ;)

 

NOW WITH THE HUGE POPULARITY OF WOOD TURNING EVEN THE BRANCHES ARE USED

 

WHICH CAN ONLY BE A GOOD THING

 

 

ALL THE BEST

MATE ,

 

IN KNIFE MAKING IT SEEMS TO ME THERES NO RIGHT OR WRONG ...............JUST WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

 

PERSONALLY I SEEM TO LOOK AT THE KNIFE BLADE . WORK OUT WHICH MATERIALS GO BEST WITH THE BLADE THEN MAKE A FULL SIZED DRAWING OF THE FINISHED KNIFE , SORT OF A PLAN ,IF IT DOESNT LOOK RIGHT JUST RUB IT OUT AND CHANGE IT ! THESE MEASUREMENTS CAN THEN BE TRANSFERED OVER TO THE KNIFE ,

YOU NEED TO HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN WOOD AND HORN .......

Here's a couple of pictures of a rabbit dispatching tool I've just finished, these are used in falconry as a humane method of dispatch when a neck pull isn't possible, normally a sharpened screwdriver does trick but I had an antler and some time....
