  1. The Politics of Forged in Fire

    "Forged in Fire" is a reality show about knife builders competing to build a great knife of certain specifications.

    This show also has great lessons for building a better society:

  2. Hunting knife with a walnut and bog oak handle, featuring a rather smug-looking bird pommel.
    The blade is forged from an old leaf spring, while the bird is carved from mild steel.

    Une pote m'a fait de jolis étuis pour l'expédition de mes #couteaux.

    A friend made me some nice cases for shipping my #knives.

  8. One of our Gothic War Morningstars.
    We take an enormous amount of time to make these, hand tooling the head, collar, and pommel. For this one, we black oxided the steel, then we grinded off and polished the facets and other areas where you see bare steel, leaving the black oxide finish in the recesses.

  9. I used the stitching pony to make this simple sheath for one of the #blacksmith knives I made at Rivers of Steel with Artifact metalworks from some #scrap #leather I’d picked up a while back. .

  10. "A cloud of smoke rose to the ceiling, and a searing sound filled the room like a basket of snakes. 'This is the moment of truth,' Sam said, holding the tongs and looking away from the smoke. 'This is when it becomes a knife.'” —Laurence Gonzales for Chicago Magazine

  13. Took a break from building goat barn alpha to turn on the forge, first time in over a week. Had an excellent session where I shaped a pound and half of 5160 into a cleaver over 2 hours. I’ll forge out some details later today and get it sorted on a grinder in prep for heat treat. #blacksmithing #bladesmith #farmstead #washingtonstate

  14. Finished a knife! This has my "seaglass" finish and a nice little black leather sheath. #bladesmith , #blacksmithing #blacksmith #knife

  15. I'm calling this one done. Is it perfect? No, not on your nelly. But it is ok enough for home use.

  16. I finished up the Sheep Shear knife tonight. I left a patina on the blade to honour the heritage of the source material, and made a handle from layers of Ringed Gidgee (dark wood), Kwilla (medium wood) and Eucalyptus (light wood).

    While not perfect, I'm fairly happy with the result as a knife for me.
