The Knife Thread

I think thats the only Timber rattler I dont have, somehow deleted all pics last night Grrrr
Is it a good length for a clip point? around 16"OA,,,,Found some TR pics.
For those not familiar with Oncedirturbed he runs Southern Leather Solutions.
The crossdraw sheath is some of his work, I have a few sheaths from SLS and
you be hard pressed to find better quality for the price. check out his Vendor page
and have a talk to Jason if its leather SLS can make it Im sure they can

FYI if you're interested in the 18" folding Timber Rattler it only a wall a hanger
Between jase and myself Id say we have plenty of knives I also make them when
my
injury allows

I missed out on that anvil you messaged me about.

Mainly want it because I like the idea of forging stuff, once I put my setup together I want to have a go at a tomahawk/hiking hatchet. But yeah old sawblades look like a very popular option.

I have an 1850 Blacksmiths furnace here with a Buffalo wind bizzo.
Even have a new tyere for it [cast iron bit the hot flame/wind goes through]
Make me an offer, its works off the bags of charcoal those chicken joints use

Blade length is 29.5cm and around 43cm overall, it's a heavy knife and more a show piece but still a functional blade. Not 1 I'd walk through the scrub carrying as there are better alternatives.

Nice torch bud, just brought a couple of kick RRs torches myself.
Plus I weakened and brought a Boker folder, thats a perfect match
for my stone washed tanto fixed blade and that small hatchett I have

Ill put a pic of all three after the boker folder arrives

Oooh I likey the folder

I've got a similar version torch and not overly impressed with it, will go in the wife's car instead

Heres a nice survival tool beats paying over $300 for similar.
I can see this would have many uses around camp or in a survival
situation

Interesting setup, I've got 1 of the Marbles Bolo camp cleavers but it's a flimsy blade for what it's designed for

@ 5mm thick it should be sturdy enough.
