I love Hols next project time.....
I love holidays it gives me a chance to get into the shed to try all the things I have seen on the net since last time I was down there.This was something I have been wanting to try for some time so it was really good to finally get into it.
It all started with one of these(a teacher at school ounce said I was a sharp as one of these).........................................
I have seen guys over seas turn these into knives and had collected some a long time ago and had then in the shed so was keen to give it a try.
First I welded it onto the end of a piece of bar to be used as a handle when hammering on it on the anvil.You can just hold it with tongs but Santa didnt bring any so I use this method.
An hour later and some playing and we end up with this,its a bit rough yet but should grind up real nice and as its the first one I am very happy.I will keep you all posted with pics as I get along a bit but have to go to the inlaws for lunch now.

Very nice. I like how the twist goes the whole length of the handle, the guys on youtube only have a few twists which doesnt look as good IMO.

Its finished and holds an edge real nice.

Looks awsome, great job. RRspikes are made from 5160 arn't they?
Re: I love Hols next project time.....
Not sure Dylan what steel it depends on who you ask but toomorrow I plan on making one with an L6 centre core so there will be no worries about the edge then.

Jees Kim, is there anything you DON'T do well? Your a man full of talents, mate!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
