Knifemaking anyone?
Are there any members out here who enjoy crafting their own blades? If yes, please do post pics of some of your wares
"With solid bullets on heavy animals such as elephant, rhino and buffalo this power is quite apparent but is not so obvious as when soft-nose bullets are being used, say, lion, particularly when is a case of stopping a charge : the .404 will stop him all right, but will seldom crumple him quite so completely as will the .416" -- John Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, (Ch. IX)

Re: Knifemaking anyone?
A gentleman called Jonahpach comes to mind. Check out the thread on "Mizo Bowie". Some others, but my elderly memory gives up!
Cheers!

I think Jonah is making some very nice blades.

Re: Knifemaking anyone?
Can't say about blades as it requires specialised tools, but certainly handles for a couple of knife blanks that i have... !!
I am willing to experiment.... !!
