Ive got a short 2 inch bladed neck knife I carry... take pics tonight..
-
That's mighty pretty, cousin!
-
Very nice looking knife.
-
Kevin that looks just like the knife you gave me buddy, AWESOME knife. Stupid sharp and the slight handle is perfert for me. I carried it on every bow hunt I took last season......and used it!
-
Kevin that is a real nice lookin' knife. I've often wanted to do one out of a file but have no idea where to begin. Do you heat the file any during your process?
-
thanks a lot guys .
matt
to answer your question yes this knife was heated to 1500 f + and hammer forged to 85-90% of its shape
if ya got the urge to make a knife out of a file id be happy to coach ya thru it

Be sure to anneal it if you wanna grind it at all...
learned that the hard way.

Mighty fine knife...and I got to see it in person! KH puts a lot into these knives. That finger guard is cool, and not the easiest part to consistently pull off, but he does it.
-
very sleek and well formed...shes a beauty :)
-
That's a really nice looking piece with great lines and flow. I really like the forged finger guard...good touch. :)

Saw this and have gotta say that's a dandy.Are you as good at making sheaths as you are making knives?
