I watched a fellow at a renaissance festival making the coolest knives from railroad spikes. He would weld(beat) on layers of carbon steel. Fold them three times , then grind then heat treat them. to make watered edges. The hilts were made with basket-woven gold, silver and brass wire. He did it right there in front of you at a homemade forge. Now that's a toolmaker.

Nice work & video, thanks for sharing... Now about the sheath??
Oops, i'm an idiot, didnt see sheath, must have stopped watching too soon. I actually meant are you going to make one? Sorry, but well done!!!

Awesome work. Haven't tried a miniature yet, have enough trouble getting full sized ones done.

Awesome job!

Pretty good angle grinding in flip flops and shorts. Loved the videography too with the cat tearing around the yard...probably from sparks. Well finished though and the sheath looked darn good!

Too Cute to Poot! Looks like a chef knife. Saw a tiny sword made that small on YT a while back by one of the knife makers I like. If I see it again I'll post it.

Thanks Jon...this miniature knive/tool stuff is great, imho!

Found it...music wears on a bit but out of nail is pretty cool and the wire wrap is a nice touch. 10 minutes.

OK, art is art. . . but so-called fantasy knives are long on aesthetics, short on usability. Small or large.
I started laughing when his unsecured vise flopped around. Lost all the mileage he gained with "I Turn These Into This"
Ho Hum. Even on this Christmas Day, can't manage charity for certain things.
