Hello guys, i recently had to order some 1/8th inch 1075 carbon steel for a couple customer blades, since its cheaper to buy in bulk i ended up buying a 72 inch section rather than just grabbing the length i needed, and well, i decided ill make a bunch of small knives because 1/8th inch steel tends to warp and do crazy things over longer lengths. Ive drew up several EDC and hunting styled blades, but id like to get some opinions, what would you guys like to see me make? More boot daggers, More fantasy looking stuff, open to suggestions.

Do a balisong with katana blade geometry and differential hardening, That would be so dang cool.

Have you ever tried any Kriss bladed knives?
Justin's idea of a butterfly knife would be cool too.

i have done a Kriss. Butterfly knives would be too complicated to do the locking mechanism and hollow grips ext, i stick with fixed blade standard style knives for now. heres a link to the kriss i did for an Irish fellow. lonelywolfforge.weebly.com/glasgow-grin.html |

A Tactical Gladius would be really cool.

Ive actually got a tanto drawn up adam, so youve got your wish. and Ghost, a tactical gladius does sound badass, food for thought when i get some thicker bar stock. :]

When they say butterfly knife I'm not sure they mean balisong . Maybe the wide bladed wing chun knives ? Attachments:

ohhhh, those would be doable. They would require thicker 3/16ths inch bar stock though, 1/8th would be floppy on a longer blade like that.

here they are roughed out with bevels ground, ive since cleaned them up, trued up all the edges and grinds, rough polished, and clayed them up for heat treat. Next installment...Post Quench pics. But i probably wont get to that until tomorrow or the next day. gotta let the clay dry up all the way through.  |
