Zombie handler. (Don't worry it has been destroyed)

I have been a lurker for too long. Being in a special and queit tough situation during weird times, I decied to do my first post about what is for now a passion and what I'd like to be my job: Blacksmithing. All these are OC. This one is a knife I forged with murican punch weld on it. It's one of my first creation.

Hunting knife out of a file.

Made this as a gift for an old man that gave me hammers, steel, coal, small anvil, precious advices and a wonderful smile. I used homemade glue instead of epoxy for this one.

Goofy Hawk.

The handle looks much better now. (danish oil powa!). Forged this one out of an old rusty and broken hammer head. Great to chop wood and move the logs around. "You don't even have to bow" ;).

Chisle knife

This is one of my favorite. You can't see it but I made copper inlays on the back of the handle. File work on the back of the blade. Perfect to cut ropes or saw wood (really!). The chisel tip is functional, a bit too slim to my taste tho.

"Meh"

Well...you cannot be proud of everything you do. Why do I put this here? Simply because to my taste and regarding to mechanical efficiency this is not good. Still it get sold faster than the others...Customer is always right! :)

Lobster (medieval) f***** fork my liege!

Sometime it's good to do something that has no blade.

"Please so I can impresse my girl!"

I made this for a freind. He kept coming to my forge to work and learn. Sadly enough he's not gifted. His first idea was to make a knife for his girlfriend that would look good in a medieval fair. He burned his work...3 times. So I made this for him and now we meet in the pub... :)

Spoon with Angelite inlay.

"If you don't want people to think you're maniac or a knife freak you should make sexy stuff that are not bloody weapons!" So i was adviced...Work in progress hang on.

"Long Finger"

Can't reach the bottom of your favorite chocolate paste pot? This is for you! Spoon shaped fit perfectly so you won't waste anymore! Stone tip for better grab. I found that stone in Montana during a trip.

Tax

Ex Almost Wife kept the cat, got no house to welcome a dog so here is some reused inspirational.

Edit: Wow! Thanks for love, atention and support. I'll add some more as requested and I'll try to improve my own skill for details and english writing ;) See you soon Imgur!

Blacksmithing used to be a thing around everywhere, if we are being technical about it

Stache13081

Do you time-share on the smile the guy gave you? how's that work? Also, cool stuff you made there. I made it to work on time once.

AsinusAdLyram

As a rennie, I really want to order a fork/spoon/knife set!

HashtagDadJokes

Give Big Head back the Fork of Horripillation!

Bergeldergle

The one you labeled "Meh" is actually really good in context. Looks like a simple boot knife, might lack the fancy, but is well-made. +1

schwiftyPop

Neat work! I enjoyed the quote at the end as well +1 for you!

latecommenter

When are you gonna finish them? All look kinda half-assed...

Most are finish by now. I have no recent picture nor camera. Sorry

"don't worry it has been destroyed" but you can have assault rifles? The fuck, america?

I'm not american ^^. Still illegal AF in my country

SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay

Used to be?! I demand more smithing round here!!

Will do sir! cheers!

QueeferSutherland

Nothing worse than not being able to get to the bottom of your chocolate paste pot.

Caspooky

#1 reminds me of Carol's knife http://imgur.com/ZsG4pjO Those spoons look dangerous though, maniac! I bet you'd spoon someone with that. =_=

Ho the spoons are harmless. You'd better mind the dirty fork. Many have lost their lives (or jobs) for a simple fork...

Zlimeshili

The hypocrisy in your statements

Gne?

L0gos

waauw that first one is awesome! could I buy one from you?

Catbusy

I read that waauw in Christopher Walken's voice

Well...you know it's illegal right? (or should be) This was kind of a test for me. it's probably better that it doesn't exist anymore...

yeah you're probably right. Gonna be honest that's some beautiful work you've made.

Thanks man.

attackSACHEL

Oh the chocolate paste.

@op those are great! Keep up the great work!

Many thanks. It warms me up!

Terrible english, but there's some solid work there, there's a good market out there for feasting kits, get some stock together and get 1/

To a medieval or renaissance fair, I think you could do good business

I have horrible writing skill anyway. If you are willing to help, it would be much appreciated.

Not sure how I could help being in Australia, but a matched set of knife, fork and spoon in a simple leather pouch sells for around $50

rayeofsunshine

@OP you need to go befriend many reenactment socieities so they pay you much coin for awesomely beautiful wares

I think we have something here! ;) *giggle*

notwhy

Key for scale ?

You know the game of the knive and the spoon

TysonGoesOutside

I'm really liking that hunting knife from a file.

Thanks. I made few others out of files. It's somme good steel for knives and it does look good! ;)

ColdDeadWood

Smithing is insanely fun! Here's my first blade and knife http://imgur.com/IH4Wmdq

Now i just buy the blades or grind stainless steel, since the i'm focusing more on the handle/sheath, but iv'e forged my share of blades!

I'm very impressed by your finitions. Well done sir.

Man you rock.

Thanks man! I was taught at a school so my progress was very fast, this is 2 years after the first one. http://imgur.com/w1TvQVe

Damn man. You are good. There is no school for bladesmithing or whatever you named it here. So i'm learning by my self so far.

Thanks! School makes you skip a lot of trial by error stuff, but you will certainly get there in time, your work is good so far!

All nice, but can you make a spoon look as badass as those blades?

...you mean a blade with a spoon? Or a spoon with an edge? :)

Well done by the way, it looks like something from LOTR. Id want a bigger scooping half but Im a fatass lol. I really like the twist.

No i mean just a spoon, but a badass spoon....wait i just looked at your last image, somehow I stopped at the knife and hammer last time-nvm

ummjakefromstatefarm

It was kind of a thing everywhere at one point.

You mean before industrial revolution right? ^^

Yea.

You should have seen that glimer hope vanishing from my eyes...

A lot of people love this art of making thing in this fashion. My old boss would do it all the time. I think it's bad ass.

FloodingWaters

that zombie handler, needs a flat surface for the hand, or else it's gonna break the hand that swings it.

It should have but never will. It reacted like popcorn during 3rd quench...it's dead and destroyed.

ah, well, that's a shame. only reason I criticized was that I really liked the idea. 2nd attempt in the works?

I'll do an other one. A bit bit diferent but same idea. It'll be in one chunk. No welding this time. I'll update if you are interested.

consider this my dot of interest. cheers!

1metalnation

3rd quench? Diminishing returns says no more than 2 compadre

SlayTheMuff

"homemade glue" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

DuellingBajo

Should have expect it...well actually made out of pine resine and honeybee wax (2/3 I 1/3). Add some mineral charge for density and color.

R3C0NXD45

Lol "mineral charge" eh?

Damn Arnie! Will quit it?! ^^' (crushed coal, steel dust, stone dust,..as you wish)

SkeletonTomJones

make a kris knife with a dickbutt engraved on the blade!!!

you would buy it?

TBH I wouldn't buy one with a dick butt but I'd seriously consider buying a good Kris

how much we talking?

keep in touch.

As i'll do for the tomahawk. I'll make one, post pictures and will discuss this then. (I take it as motivation. Thanks)
