I picked this up in an auction, nobody knew anything about it, but being fairly familiar with antique weapons I have a hypothesis I was hoping someone could confirm.
I believe this is North African and made out of a British bayonet during the late 1800s or early 1900s. The blade is approx 15...
So swords are not my thing...
But when these walked in the door of my pawn shop I couldn't resist buying them
I am almost positive that they are Nepalese, but the style seems weird for the era.
Could use some further input from any experts here.
Look Damn good for your first knives.
The biggest thing about getting good bevels, is building a jig.
After a few dozen knives you will get the hang of the positioning and won't need the jig, but starting out it really helps you get a solid plunge line.
I actually stopped keeping rubbers in my wallet.
Instead I keep wetnaps.
I have found my chance of having coitus is far less than my chance of encountering chicken wings.
I don't know if I do great work....but I haven't had one returned yet.
Whenever I get a custom order I grind a prototype out of mild steel and send it to the customer so they can make any revisions. I will do this until they are satisfied with the design. Then the forging begins.
I prefer...
