Alright so knife thread BUT ONLY handmade/small production knives.
Pic is mine, made by Two Bee in Indiana. 1095 tool steel and curly maple grips, prone to a little surface rust but holds an edge very well.

nigger what??? this thread is gonna be dildos.
This is a blade that I made right around Thanksgiving. O-1 tool steel, holds a good edge, handle is uhh, something... Don't remember what wood exactly.
>>28682535
is the hole to put your dick in it then swing it around to cut your pubes?
first knife I've made. cut it out of an old rusty harbor freight machete.
>>28685325
It is now
>>28683382

>>28683382
Oh derp didn't see 1st post. That's fucking cool
>>28685492

>>28685492
any tips on making handle scales
>>28685668
I just cut them out, shaped them on a belt sander, sanded them smooth by hand, then finished them with shellac.
>>28685622
thanks m8
It'll shave hairs, but that doesn't really take much. I'm also working on a tracker I cut from the same machete, but I want to get some better steel in the future. I'm also looking in to making a forge soon
>>28685728
does wood matter at all; can i just use some of my firewood or will it be shitty?
>>28682519
Is that authentic wear (caused by you) on the blade or does it ship like that? If it's the latter, fuck Two Bee
>>28685856
As long as it isn't rotten or stupid soft, it'll work just fine. The main thing people use different woods for is aesthetics.

Blade was made like that, the guy has a beat to shit hammer he uses on some blades after heating and before oil quenching. Other blades he does acid wash, some he leaves as-is.
Haven't put it through too much abuse yet but it's held up well
>>28685204
fuck I've gotten sloppy with my metal ID. 1095 carbon steel. Not tool steel.
>>28686116
>>28686012
i like this one
a lot

>does wood matter at all
yes. different woods have different hardness, pore size, and a bunch of other shit.
>can i just use some of my firewood
probably. what kind of wood is your firewood?
>>28686133
I think the burl (I think that's the wood) handle makes it.
>>28686041
>>28686116
fuck. I really want to make an obsidian knife with some kind of bone or stone scales. I searched briefly for some dinosaur fossils for scales, but they're all expensive as fuck for authentic fossils big enough.
>>28686176
burl is just wood with fucked up grain. I fucking suck at identifying wood still though, so I couldn't tell you what kind of wood that is.
>>28686170
its a bunch of random downed trees i've cut up here in Kansas
>>28686242
burl is tree cancer! you're a burl
your moms a burl
your whole family is a burl
your ancestors were burl
you should repent

Here's the first custom I own.
Designed to be used reverse grip, edge in.
Where's a good place to find pieces of copper/brass/bronze plates to use in handle bolsters? All I can find locally is bar steel for welding that are far too long for what I need
Kabar quality

What were you doing with it?
Just picked up this beauty from the Houston gun collectors association show this past weekend. Made by Sable custom knives. Made out of leaf spring steel. Walnut handle.
