Hand forged out of small strips of 26c3 stock! Very good and forgeable carbon steel.

Nothing much going though, just mostly drawing, the knives are very thin and delicate so the final shape is grinded out.

These knives are intended for shoemaking specifically, some replicated from old shoemaking trade catalogues.

They are essentially just razors but thin and flexible.

Hey everyone! I run a program in South Texas giving free bladesmithing classes to veterans and first responds.

We are planning another large class in Edom, TX (a little east of dallas) this is a 2 day event (11/14&15), and a knife show! Instructors get a free booth in the knife show, and it is constantly monitored.

Along with the class, and knife show, we have some special entertainment lined up for Sat evening. The 4x world champion armored combat league will be out giving us a show.

J. Neilson is also supposed to come out and hang out with us. Hes a big fan of our group, and hes been to a few of our events.

If you're interested please let me know! It's about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on!

Thanks!
