Last Knife for Awhile...Twisted Blacksmith Blade
« on: September 22, 2017, 01:10:20 AM »
Last knife as I'm headed for a week of Atlantic salmon fishing in New Brunswick.  All steel twisted blacksmith style knife.  OAL 7 inches, 52100 carbon steel started as round stock.  May look better stained...tippit

Like your blade work, but I think that it might be pretty heavy to carry with all of that twisted metal handle.  I bought one of those railroad spike knives with twisted handle about twenty years ago from a Blacksmith, and I first thought yours was one of them.  .............. Nice job and catch a bunch of Salmon!

I love the blade shape but not a fan of the twisted handle.  It looks big & heavy.

Salmon fishing not good....Miramachi River very low and temps in high 80's.

Knife isn't large 6 3/4 OAL...just something different. But it isn't railroad spike knife...good steel to hold a good edge.
