Following pictures of suitable examples provided by our comrade Spiral, I have re-made some more suitable tools for my old warrior Kukri.
Hope you approve of and like my efforts. Best Gene ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hi Gene-ius,
![]() Great stuff, they look like they've been together for a long time. I have made a few knives and pieces over the years and I think you've got it spot on. What kind of steel did you use? My Regards, Norman. Last edited by Norman McCormick; 21st March 2011 at 03:17 PM. |

Thank you very much Gentlemen.
Glad you approve Spiral ![]() Norman. The steel is just a strip of stock steel from a metal dealer. The type you used to be able to buy in proper hardware stores. It's a little blade so doesn't ned to be uber hard and the fact is the Nepalese smiths would often use scavenged steel, so I didn't get hung up on hardness or carbon content. Simple steel with a rough 'blowlamp' temper. Thanks again guys Gene Last edited by Atlantia; 22nd March 2011 at 12:47 PM. |
