Neck knife and sheath

Post by Rossr »

I forged this from a old hay rake tine and decided to make it a neck knife. Maybe got carried away on the sheath, inlay on top, double loop lacing and 4 strand round braid for the neck strap.

Figured you guys and gals might like a look maybe this will wake up the leather humans here haha.

I particularly like the lace work on the sheath. It really adds the extra touch.

Maybe like a lot of things, not done so much anymore because it is time consuming and people are not willing to pay the extra.

Most excellent! 💯 What hay rake tines are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes the time.and additional cost I suspect is a factor too

I have some.dump rake tines laying about. Which is the 2nd picture. Ive read they are made of high carbon steel and possibly 1095. They are fun to mess with if u have access to them. Thanks too!

Thanks! I was wondering if the newer style had enough material to work with. 😉👍

I never messed with the newer ones and also not sure what steel used on them. Course if we want to be technical i dont know what steel the old ones are. I just know they cut and survive the brass rod test and function from basic tests.
