Thread: Show me your knives

Attempt at making a couple of knives, hidden tang hunter made from old file brass gate hinge and rimu bench top. Boning knife I bought in a bar of 1075 steel, same rimu handle. Heat treated in charcoal fire, both could do with a bit better finishing but will be pretty regularly used so will pay a bit more attention to detail on the next ones. Both have been blooded and processed a couple of animals. Spent 15 years in the meat works and pretty happy with the edge retention after being a little dubious after heat treat and tempering process. Big thanks for all the great info and inspiration available on the forum, some pretty spectacular blades being made.
