Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

I've seen a blacksmith make a small sword out of a 1 1/2" box end wrench with the box end as the but of the handle. Not that odd after seeing that masterpiece.

 

A friend of mine just got the same knife with the micarta handles, if you think the plastic one is light, the micarta is actually thinner and lighter, they are really awesome in both configurations

 

GEC doing regular duty

 

I was finally able to get all my parts together to crank up the tormek. If anyone doesn't have one its a worthwhile investment. It's idiot proof.
But I was able to finish up my homemade knife on it




And put a hair whittling edge on my opinel set at a 21deg angle

Ok knife guys. Need help with this one. It's old, maybe WWII.

 

I'm guessing this also.

 

Looks like ww1 era german bayonett knife.

 

Yep, does look very similar.

 

Looks like a Czech VZ-58 model, most which were made from 1959-1984. In pretty bad shape.

Scroll down to models 4, 5 and 6 to better identify it (based on the handle hardware, I'd say it's the 6th model): http://worldbayonets.com/Bayonet_Identification_Guide/vz_58_bayonets/vz_58s.html

 

This one appears to be a James A. Herder bayonet model M1884/98 III, which were made in the mid 30's to mid 40's for Germans in WWII. I have this bayonet, but with the all-black non-wood handle scales. Mine was made in 1939.

Got the old pig sticker cleaned up some and put a wicked edge on it. This just may be my center console knife now.

 

Nope. Check live for more pics.

 

Button.

 

Button pushed engages the latch.

 

See my link above, showing it fits the Czech VZ-58 assault rifle.

"The 7.62 mm. Czech VZ–58 assault rifle (7,62 mm samopal vzor 58) is a refinement of the Kalashnikov AK47 design. The VZ–58 was made from 1959–1984 by Česká Zbrojovka a. s. of Uherský Brod, Czechoslovakia. The VZ-58 is still a standard infantry weapon in the Army of the Czech Republic, used by troops serving in Afghanistan."

 

YES! Thank you!

 

Funny thing is this thing had NO edge on it whatsoever. Took me well over an hour with a rough file just to get it down to where it was remotely sharp. Oh, she sharp now though!

 

Just found out this shipped today......

 

Never knew that. Thanks!
