GruffaloGriff 1,858 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Modified this Openial No8 for my daughter. She found an antler last year while we were walking a Munroe in the Scottish highlands so i used a bit of that for the handle. Turned down the collar end on the lathe to fit the Openial hardware slotted the handle by clamping it in the woodworking vice and running a small cordless saw over it. Took a couple of hours so not bad for a complete custom job. The antler is the same curve as the blade so it is actually far more slim line and neat than a standard Opeial handle. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,858 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 The old brake disc forge burn out. Borax flux for forge welding eats them up! My lad re-built & re-configured it to have a longer fire tray for long blades. Not tried it yet but should work. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
