Knife I made from an old used rasp. Where the rasp teeth are ground off leaves this cool pattern of tiny trianglar holes. I like giving new life to old used things that would normally be thrown away. Also, the black walnut part of the handle was salvaged from a dead branch off of my own walnut tree.

Pretty nice obsidian blade huh? Its actually steel though. I forged the general shape, leaving it a little thick. Then did the texture with a dremel tool, polished it so it will be shiney. And to blacken it I used a stuff called super black that is for gun barrels. Heat treated it too of course.

Thought you guys and gals would find this interesting, this is my Nepalese military issue kukri that was used in ww1. It has a very faint 8 on the sheath so I believe it was from the 8th gurkha rifles regiment who fought in Italy, France. Mesopotamia, and Egypt.

Made a pretty decent find in a petsmart dumpster. The back pane of glass is cracked but that's ok, I will just put bedliner on the back side and it will be good to go. I keep tarantulas and will set it up for one of them.

I got this beauty at a yardsale for 2 dollars today. It's a Marbles Ideal. After a bit of research I'm even more excited to have it, very historically important knife since it introduced stacked leather handles in 1899. Very iconic outdoorsman knife. It feels amazing in the hand.

Royal 10 I found in an old house under it's original cover, I was very excited to find out I could keep it. It hasn't been touched since the 50s. It's all complete except for one glass side pannel but I've found a replacement for it. It's an absolutely beautiful machine.

A railroad track anvil of my own design. I made it have an angular waist and no step between the face and horn to increase the weight. This ads 3 more pounds to the anvil compared to my older ones with rounded waist cutouts and a step for the horn. Its 11 long and 17.5 pounds.
