4/23/08 I
forged this Tactical Bowie for my sister in-law to take to the big sandbox
that is Iraq in a couple of months 8670M a high carbon steel that contains a
high amount of nickel for toughness and stain resistance. The guard is wrought
iron from a water tower that came from the old Columbus Penitentiary and the
handle is carbon fiber slabs. The pins are brass. Good luck out there Cathy. 4/4-4/6/08 Mark & I went to Alabama for one heck of a good time. I learned so much about smithing it was incredible. We also got to watch a cast iron smelt. Check out the pictures here. 2/22/08 I finally finished
this commission for a close friend. This knife represents several firsts. It's
my first integral bolster and the first wood turning I've ever done on a lathe
(thanks to Scott Hogsten for the lessons.) The blade is forged from 5160 round
stock and has an apple seed grind. The handle is ebony, fossil ivory, fiber
spacer material and sterling silver.
8/24-25/07 Pictures from my weekend at the American Bladesmith Society Mid-America Hammer-In, August 2007. It was a great time. 8/3/07 One
of my clients was so impressed with my work that he asked if I 7/6/07 New Article how too build a City Boy Anvil Stump. 5/4-5/7/07 I was fortunate enough to participate in a hammer-in held by Larry Harley at his Home in Bristol TN. See pictures here. I learned so much over the weekend my head hurt.
I
made this version of a Philippine Ginuting for a customer The blade is 5160. The
handle is cocobolo with a textured brass guard. It’s got a cool claw like look
to it hence the name. Not to mention it fought me every step of the way. Here is Stephen's review of the knife which he posted on sword forum. Got
the Claw in the mail. First of all, I have to add that as a little Christmas
gift, Adlai threw in a handforged icicle ornament for the tree, and I can't tell
everyone enough just how much of a hit it is with the wife and kids. Like the
Claw, this is ornament is going to be an heirloom.
