20.01.2022 This big sucker will be going to a new BBQ style kitchen in Brissy. 50cm overall, gonna be interesting to grind and keep straight.
19.01.2022 This one is off to serve one of our finest. The blade is made from 1084 high carbon steel with G10 multi layer camo handle material. The sheath is tan coloured Kydex and has a teklok style clip.
18.01.2022 Except for the final edge these knives are complete. The one with the black and blue G10 handle is made from 52100 bearing steel and comes with a black kydex sh...eath. The one with the black G10 handle is made from 12c27 Stainless steel and comes with a Black leather sheath. Pretty happy with these. There was a lot of new skills learnt in this build and I got the weight and shape pretty spot on I reckon.

10.01.2022 Hi guys, these knives are finally finished. I’m calling them my first for 2021. Both are made from 1084 high carbon steel and both come with a handmade leather sheath. One has Peppercorn Tree Heartwood handles with lime green G10 liners and the other has Zebrano with black G10 liners. Carbon Fibre pins.... Both sit at 58RC. Both are up for grabs PM for details.
09.01.2022 Tony’s Bladesmithing did a Bowie Course at Tharwa Valley Forge So I just spent the last 2 days with my best mate doing the Bowie Course under the watchful and ...extremely helpful eye of Jackson Rumble (JS and all round nice guy). So the first day consisted of forging the blade to shape using 10mm, 5160 bar stock to shape for the hidden tang knife, then rough grinding, then heat treatment and then a mock up of the handle whilst waiting for the knives to come out of temper. Day 2 consisted of final grinding and hand sanding, then guard machining and handle fit up. Then shaping and handle finishing, then sharpening and polishing and final clean up. Lots is packed into this course and it is not a beginners course but if you have a chance it is a fantastic course. Please get in touch with Karim Hadaad from Tharwa Valley Forge for more details if your interested in improving you Knifemaking game.

07.01.2022 And now you know.
07.01.2022 Bit of Blacksmith porn at the Herberton Historical Village just north of Cairns.
07.01.2022 New stabilised handle scales arrived from Shane Dohnt today. All Myrtle
05.01.2022 They say you should learn at least one new thing per day. Today I learnt that my wrist is not ready for hand sanding 3 blades, give me Brufen NOW.
04.01.2022 A little bit of light reading. Cheers Corin Urquhart and Gameco for doing a Bulk Buy.
04.01.2022 Finally finished this last Serbian style cleaver. Made from 12c27 Stainless Steel, has Myrtle Burl handle scales and 416SS pins. All wrapped up in a tan kydex slip sheath. The timber on this one is beautiful thanks to Shane Dohnt.
03.01.2022 Little bits. The wrist is starting to feel a bit normal. Probably won’t later. Post HT grinds done and handle materials chosen. Will give the wrist a rest before having to hand sand all of these.
03.01.2022 Guaranteed Hardness Thanks Corin Urquhart, Cole and Tim from Gameco.
