I made one with simular form years ago with leathersheet and oakhandle but not as nice as yours Thomas
since I forgot the front holk but I can´t find it :-(
the time I had it I found out the form on the blade makes it a good Jack knife

congrat´s with your new toy … enjoy
Dennis

Thomas, very nice,. The woodworking I understand, I’d sure like to see how you forge aand finish a blade

It looks like a real nice knife, Napolean.

Very good looking knife. what’s the size? thanks!

Goddahavefun thanks and i can just say : go for it :D

Dennis its not a toy but a knife ;) what is a jack knife ?

Ken thanks :) it was no big deal to forged it as i remember it,but to shape it with files that was a big job. it was made out of a feather from a car and it could get razor sharp. The problem with doing it at home is i dont have tools or the space for it.

Helluwreck thanks :)

Daddy T thanks a lot,its not my friend who made but a guy who sell them wich i dont know.

Barbs you are so right…i am launched now! Thanks :)

B13 thanks,total lenght is 180mm and the blade is 70mm

Well done. What is it about guys and knives. I probably have literally hundreds of knives around my house in some form or fashion and yet, I am alwasy drawn to knives. That one looks very nicely done there Napoleon.
