Here is a fighter(for lack of a better description) I forged from a retired file. The scales are eucalyptus wood with copper pins. Thanks for looking OAL: 11.5" Blade: 5.5" Spine thickness 1/4" p.s. it has a "secret" bottle opener.:)

I was finally able to finish one of the blades I have been working on between bouts of frostbite. The cold has hit with a vengeance and my shop/garage is freezing even with my puny heater. Enough whining! The knife is forged from 5160 steel. I made the guard/bolster from a slice of copper...

A friend at work brought in two daggers he recently inherited from a relative who fought in WWII. Since I make knives he assumed my "Genius" extended to antiques(I know I am one Guys so don't rub it in). The two daggers are brass and antler handled with some non-descript blades absent of any...

It has been a while since I have posted any knife shots here. Life sorta has a way of getting in the way sometimes. I forged this one out of a retired Army 5-ton truck leaf spring. A friend wanted a "cleaver type" knife and this hog is what came up with. The blade is a touch longer than 9...

It has been a few months since I posted anything new. Life gets in the way sometimes. I've been making a few tomahawks from ball peen hammer heads this past winter and spring. Here is the latest. I forged it from a 32 OZ head! It was alot of metal to move with a hammer! The owner did not...

It has been a while since I posted any finished knives. No excuses, just lazy. This camp knife is a total recycle job. I forged the blade from a salvaged leaf spring and the handle came from of all things..a scrapped pallet at work.:eek: OAL is 13-ish inches with a 8 1/2" blade. Thanks for...

This blade is a departure for me. Most of my knives are tailored for the "Buckskinners" among us. I wanted to try something different and here it is. I have posted this knife on some other forums so if you have seen it already please forgive the redundancy. I forged the blade from an old...

Is this tang stamp familiar to anyone? It belongs to this knife. My friend's son was given this knife by his Grandfather and he wants to know a little more about it. There are no other marking on the blade or sheath. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My Mother-in-law found this old Green River skinner at some sale in Florida. It was in bad shape when she sent it to me and it has sat around for a few months. Well I finally decided to play around with it and see what I could do. I wish I had a "before" photo but the Wife had the camera when...

There have been a few members here expressing an interest in making their own knives. I have been making knives for a little over twenty years and do almost all of my work by hand. I was thinking of posting a thread here on how I make my knives so I forged out a blade from a very old and rusty...

Here is a photo of my second attempt at transforming a old ball peen hammer head into a tomahawk. No power tools were harmed in the making of this hawk(the usual result of me using power tools is damage or injury:)). I found some nice curly maple handles from R.E Davis Company. The head...

How much black powder would this baby need. The Mortar is in front of the New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs New York. It is the only picture I was able to take before my rugrats descended on it and captured it.

It sure is nice to have a Mother-in-Law who likes you "and" lives in Orlando Florida. Home of Randall Knives. Got this in the mail a while back and finally have the time to post a picture and a personal "thanks Mom!" It is a Model #27. OAL 10 1/2", blade is carbon steel 5 3/4"

Anyone have any recommendations for a high visibility front sight for a S&W model 27 revolver? I have matte black sight now and would like to get something with more visibility. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I know it might not be classified as a non-firearm weapon but it could be used as one should the occasion demand. The carver was basically a over-winter project. Four rug rats and a busy work schedule kept me from getting much done this year. The blade is forged from 5160 steel, 14.5" oal...

I finally saved up enough scratch to get a 1872 Uberti Open Top. I found one in .44 special with a 5 1/2" barrel from Buffalo Arms. Now to work up a load for it. Thanks to those who provided great, solid advice.:)

I am looking at buying a Uberti/Cimmaron Arms Texas Brush Popper lever action rifle in .45 L.C. Does anyone own one or have experience with this particular rifle? Any input from you all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just a heads up. Home sick today and was paging through Gunbroker and saw this nice ROA.http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=158176469

OK I was complaining on a-nuther thread about a lack of new gun porn. I know we are all plumb tuckered out over celebrating our new Nobel Prize Winner but here goes. I finally got a big brother for my Leach and Rigdon. Notice the resemblance? I like the round barrel look. YAAAAAY...

Well it is a change for me. While reading on the Muzzleoader Forum I came across some very nice photos of tomahawks made from ballpeen hammer heads. I decided to give it a whirl. I normally just make knives but this project was completely different. Man that is alot of metal to move by hand...
