Hudson Bay knife

(1/5) > >>

Stoker:
Working on this hudson bay knife... Got a question... Got it roughed out... Do I bevel the top to bring in the clip point or leave it???? Want to be as authentic as possible... Just joined a BP club and fella says they throw knives and hawks.. So I thought I'd build a knife to play with.. If it works good I'll try beating a RR spike into a hawk... Any thoughts welcome
Thanks Leroy

KHalverson:
Leroy
the shape looks great
most of the hb knives I have seen do not have a sharpened clip.
what was the steel from(looks like an old saw blade)?
when you get ready to pound out a hawk let me know I have done a few and can get ya pointed in the right direction.

knife throwing is fun but i just traded away my gil hibben set.

Stoker:
Thanks Kevin - Not sure on the steel... Freind gave me some.. It's fair hard stuff had to annell to make cutting and shaping easier... I'll have to get ahold of you when I harden and temper just to make sure I go about it right.. When the hawk gets started I'll be in contact for sure...
Bowman - What doesn't sound fun about throwing knives and hawks... Mom says no.. Bp crowd encourages it... win win
Thanks Leroy

BOWMAN53:
