Title: Hand Sickle knives
Post by: sticshooter on September 22, 2011, 06:22:00 AM
Well most know I make Resurrected blades.Never made ant from a hand sickle before but they turned out great.
top knife is forged from an old sickle from up here in Wisconsin in a nice ergonomic design OAL bowed form 6 1/8" blade 2.75" handle is elk antler with 3/16" SS pins and filework on blade spine
bottom knife is forged from an old sickle from up here in Wisconsin in a nice longer ergonomic design OAL bowed form 9.75" blade is 5.25" handle is ambrosia maple burl with 3/16" copper pins and filework on blade spine.

Those look nice Stic - I am thinking that if you have another one it would be cool to try making one backwards and turning it into an awesome skinner?
