Rifleman's knife
« on: April 16, 2023, 04:41:34 AM »
Here's a knife I've been procrastinating on doing the heat treat on. These longer blades usually warp on me when I quinch them but this one stayed straight and needed no work afterwards. I'm still thinking about doing a different style nut to hold the grip on. Also the brass folder is here and you can see the details on it better.

I think "excellent" describes it very well.

That is inspiring work Brian. What are the dimensions & what steel did you use?
Thanks

John the big knife has a 7-1/2" blade and don't remember about the folder. I use 1084 for my blades and springs.
