souvenir knife

[donor76]

Today has tried to forge a souvenir knife from a railway crutch.
On mine it has turned out.
The idea belongs not to me(Has borrowed on what that of the American blacksmithing sites)

Thats a real cool looking knife! what do you do? warm it red hot, give it a twist, then mash down the front to make the blade?

It is difficult to me to describe process(unfortunately I do not know English language) but if you very interesting, that me easier tomorrow to make one more knife and to photograph manufacturing process

I would love to learn your skills! Very nice work

My friends! As well as promised today has made one more knife.
Manufacturing process in pictures

We take a crutch and it is heated up in a gas forge





By means of a Blacksmith power hammer we do notches on the handle of a knife from all four parties

[donor76]

Further we clamp (warm) product in a vice and by means of a special plug we twist the future handle of a knife




After that we heat up a product and we flatten the handle


After that I began to experiment and have made the same actions (only at twisting I have changed a direction of torsion)
The result will be visible on a ready knife
Further we flatten out an blade till the necessary thickness


We mark a contour of an blade, superfluous it is cut off

It is necessary to inquire (can force to do examination that it not a cold steel)
Do not forget in what state I live, at us here not all so is simple as at you (much to our regret)

cant you russian guys get it here in a diplomatic pouch, or something? I used to see that on the TV show MI-5, when they wanted to get something into the country without getting scanned.
