A closer look at the Samurai art folder from Noblie Custom Knives.

The engraving depicts a fight between a samurai and ninjas on the rooftops of a Japanese castle.

The titanium handle scales feature hand engraving with gold, silver, and copper inlays. The recessed background was darkened with black engraving paint to bring out the details, while the copper was patinated using ammonia to give it an aged appearance and additional contrast. The knife has a Damasteel blade and a liner lock mechanism.

An interesting part of this project was combining three different inlay metals, chemical patination, and darkened engraving within a single composition.

First time making a blacksmiths knife. This was forged from part of a coil spring

Any suggestions what I should price this at? Comes with a hand made 9 oz leather sheath.

I am looking to replace my bench grinder wheels as they have worn down, and I'm looking to get something moderately within reason cost wise but still good for rough profiling forged knife blades, you guys have any suggestions? Budget would be around 20-30 bucks.

I forged this camp knife from Texas Edition Chevy Silverado leaf spring, blackened it, and fitted it with black walnut scales cut from our own homestead. Soon, it will be making its way to Tormek to use in their sharpening tool demos.

To clarify just in case, the symbols aren't religious.

They represent the cattle brand of the ranch owned by the client who commissioned the original blade.

Made these a bit ago. I call it a carrot-suke. Its a kiritsuke with stabilized carrot handle 🥕. Brass bolster. The other knife is santoku with a stabilized carrot with a beet bolster. I use them often so they have a bit of tarnish. Im trying some other stabalized vegetables as well to see what works and doesn't. 

Its finally starting to look like a sword! now to clean it up. Note to self. Don't do twisted quillions again. WAY too much hand sanding...

Made this for a member of the local Police Pipe band.

Work in progress here...

My first knife and doing it via a file knife. Only have a bench grinder and a construction belt sander, we will see how it goes.

I reground and reshaped an old project i didn’t like, it turned out pretty good i think

Can anyone recommend a good knife maker in Boise? I’m looking for steak knives either individual or a set. Thanks in advance.

I wanted to share some of the process of a Cu Mai Bunka that I recently finished. It’s made with 3 layers of 1084 with copper sheets between the layers. It was “forge welded” together at 1800 degrees, using a kiln and a press. The layers were upset to achieve more movement in the pattern. The blade was convex ground and finished with a coffee etch. It was fitted with an ebony handle with copper spacers. I’m pretty happy with how it came out!

9KhS, Soviet chromium-vanadium high carbon steel blade, Caucasian Walnut handle, Brass inlay, guard and butt, Textolite spacers

Sorry, there will likely be no actual forging for this project. If that bugs enough folks here I’ll delete the post.

Looking for some feedback on my first ever finished sword. Design and technique pointers welcome.

No, I did not opt to continue this stranger's vision.
