Title: Belt Buckel knife
Post by: fixer on August 23, 2012, 10:49:00 PM
I'v just been messing around building belt buckel knives this is my 2nd one so I thought I would give you something to chuckel about. Let it be known I am not a knife maker as most of you are,but I have fun. I do all my own work leather and all so ther is only me to laugh at.

The back is still a work in progress, the first one I built the belt loop swiveled and my connections were soldered. On this one I brazed all but one joint the one you can see the wire wrap on is soldered. The frame the lace fastens to is #12 copper wire the belt loop -lathch wire is #6 copper. If I build another one I have some other ideas that I am going to try.
Thanks for your interest. Also the first one I did was a little smaller this one the blade is 2.5" the over all length on the sheath i 5.5".
Thanks
