Cool stuff Ray thmbsup
Wow! Very unique knives. Look great too! I really like the one made from the RR spike. A small one like the folder would make a great patch knife.
NEAT LOOKEN SPIKE HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO MAKE
Nice knives Razor!!! I really like the straight razor one. The blade looks like the way samuri sword blades look after the temper them with resist on the back of the blade.
Awesome Ray........I like sharp pointy things.
Great work, look very nice. thmbsup

Hey twobears.... hi:
How long ? mebbe coupla/three weeks...fer a kinda 'primitive'/handmade look.
Being a temperamental artiste &) ROFL.. if'n I grab up a knife, an' things jus' don't seem 'right'..I puts it back down 'til
I feel 'good'/'right' about it...MUCH MUCH more enjoyable that way, and I'm happier with them when done..
Coupla hours per night, 3,4,5 nights a week, coupla weeks...
I made a BIG Bowie several years ago..Ford truck spring( 1/4 x 3.5" x 18" )..Elk antler, 1/4" steel oval guard, Datsun axle shaft section pommel..
Finished it was 17.75 inches...probly 3 lbs..razor sharp...forge finish blade ,3" clip point, hollow ground half way, filework on the back and on the guard,,
Made a wood scabbard, covered in brown rabbit fur and leather thong lacing...Brother called it my CONAN knife.
