blacksmithing | custom knife | knifemaking | Other Metal Gallery ![]() This is my first knife. My good friend Alex "Twitch" procured the first Anvil for Woodford Knife & Forge, so I felt it was only appropriate that the first blade to be struck on it be for him. He's an avid outdoorsman and required a diverse skinning/gutting/all-purpose utility knife. The blade measures 3.5 inches with a false edge (quite sharp) at top and thumb notches for a sure grip. This blade was inspired from a Randall Model 19 "Bushmaster" and was made from a tear drop shaped punch I found at a flea market. An older gentleman was selling off some old tools and that pitted, rusty punch now has a new life! |
