    I've been forging blades and various tools for years. I was on Forged in Fire, season 6 episode 21 the Astronaut Knife, and Knife Or Death, that video is on youtube. https://youtu.be/20-Qxn4KZb8

    20190718_085735.jpg 20190718_085744.jpg 20190719_221801.jpg 20190718_132729.jpg

    I have quite a few blades left over from a canceled knife show, thanks covid.
    But I can also make things to order.

    I have 6 like these, with the sheath. Maybe 2 are 80 crv2 steel, the rest are 8670. 8670 is by far my favorite. Some have maple burl handles, the others are paracord. All have been gun blued. About 12 inches long. I'd sell these for 300 shipped each in the continental US. Shipping outside the CONUS is on the buyers dime.

    I've used that steel for my personal backpacking blade and it split wood and cleaned my fish. The sword I used on tv, 8670 steel, it's tough as can be, and easy to sharpen. After all that crap I had to bust up w the blade, Travis was still ablemto.shave his arm after my run. Of course they cut that from airing, but it's true.


    Thanks for looking. I can provide more info and photos on request.

    I also have a couple big choppers and my own version of the Astronaut Knife I'd put up for sale. Message me for more info.


    Hope this post was done correctly!

    We enjoy FIF. We will watch your episode after what we are currently watching.

    Do you have any Damascus experience? I’d love a kitchen knife.

    Btw, Henry Rollins is one of my favorite people on the planet. I was listening to him on some podcasts while at the grocery store earlier. :thumbsup:

    I make damascus all the time. Here is an example.20191217_193519.jpg 20190709_162857.jpg

    One was copper plated, that's why I looks so different. Fyi, I won't copper plate again, I just don't like the look. So pictured, two Japanese Nakiri, and a general chefs knife.

    FIF is an awesome show. Takes definite skill (that I don't have, lol) and your work shows it.

    Thanks!

    I'll say this about being on the show, they cut a TON of what we actually do. It was fun to go though.

    How much for a damascus blade like the ones you are selling?

    Also, did you make the sheaths for the knives you're selling?

    I got to meet one of the contestants from FIF awhile back (pre Covid) while in Columbus. I’m embarrassed for not remembering his name but I ended up buying a couple of forged playing dice from him. Real humble dude. Sorry to hijack.

    edit. Sometimes I surprise myself. Fortunately I found his business card. It was Adlai Stein.

    Beautiful!

    Love some FIF!!! I'm a little biased to Liam Hoffman since he's a NC native! All you guys have exceptional skills though.

    @cubie This is up your alley buddy!

    I'm.not selling and damascus blades. Just the ones w the sheathes.

    And yes, I make my own sheathes. I also farm them out because they are time consuming.
