Title: knifemaker services for trade (pictures added)
Post by: catcalls on January 03, 2013, 11:25:45 pm
Hello I am new here, but I have been making knives for over 2 years now. I am looking to trade my work for a new bow or maybe archery gear. I am looking for a 45-52# longbow. I have no idea how long I want it, but I would like something smaller so I can move in the woods easier. To trade I will build you a knife to your specifications(of course within reason and equality of trade).
 I would also like some arrows that fit the needs of the bow aswell, and I can add into the trade aswell.

I am also looking for staves of primarily Osage that is seasoned to be worked into a bow like now-ish, and some dacron b-50 for strings. I can also make just blades, so the tradee could finish it off with a nice handle and sheath.

What is the type of steel O-1? I like second one.

0-1 is a tool steel that can get really hard, and hold a great edge, and is pretty easy to resharpen. It does however tend to rust a tad bit more than 52100.
