Title: Forge Fired Up...Added 4th Knife
Post by: tippit on November 15, 2013, 10:57:00 AM
I haven't been able to bow hunt or pound any hot steel for the past 2 1/2 months due to a hand/shoulder injury incurred while reducing weight on a friend's bow.  Acute repetitive carpal tunnel/rotator cuff inflammation on my right hand/shoulder from removing 10# of bow weight by hand...never again!  After three cortisone injections and rest I'm back in the game.  I was getting worried because last spring I had promised a friend knives for her three sons at Xmas.  

Project finished...

Top blade is quite heavy with a big chunk of Elk antler for the son with a very Big hand.  Next is Sambar Stag & bottom is Sheep horn...tippit

Knives are being shipped to Germany for Xmas where family and three boys will be hunting.  Plus a 4th one for her grandson will accompany the other 3 blades  :)   Nice to know they will be used.
