 A few new things in the works. |
 |
Here are a few knives I recently heat treated... Notice the one on the left that cracked during the quench... Pictured with my Bushknife.
Maker's Mark.... Wildertools by Rick Marchand
This next pic shows a few "Strife" striker/knives and two of my "Gentlemans" strikers. Pictured with a Firepouch w/ flint and steel kit and a Neckpouch w/ magnesium/ferro bar and scraper.
Thanks
Rick

I just forged this today.... after the initial forging I felt it was a little handle heavy so I drilled some lightening holes to balance it out. I intend to put birch handle scales on it with brass pins. I'll post more pics when I'm done.

Here's my first shot at a patch knife. I've always loved the look of an antler handle....
