Forged draw knife and New fighter

(1/3) > >>

Handforged:
Made a couple of these the other day, thought you guys might enjoy pictures.

Draw knife is a bowyers style, straight blade. This one is in 1084 blade steel left in forged finish with a convex edge. Laminated paduak handles. I took the shape of one of my knife handles and modified it here. Should be easier on the hands with work and I always leave enough wood present for someone to modify them to their hands is so desired.

Fighter is a broom handle 52100 drop point. This one is a lightweight fighter that has a nice distal taper. Forged 52100 from round bar stock. Differential heat treating and a dark etch and should wear nicely. Scales are redwood burl finished with about 7 coats of Tru Oil. Sheath for this one is on the bench and I am up in the air about it's style.
Enjoy!

Trapper Rob:
You do nice work

Handforged:
Thank you sir.

KHalverson:
very nice.

Handforged:
Thanks!  I forgot to mention that I ground the spine of this drawknife on a 8 degree angle to use it as a scraper if you wanted.
