forged garden shear blade

[mark.177]

been working on this forged from a left over handle off cut from an old pair of garden clippers, think its 1095? regardless takes a loverly edge.
4" blade free hand ground to a full convex grind

Excellent bit of upcycling!

I think that old tools, if they had any sentience, would rather be turned into something nice than be scrapped.

finished the knife today, a simple affair using the original hickory handle material

Might be simple, but is still a beautiful job. Very Swedish looking design!

That's lovely, Mark - a simple beauty.

 

[Broch]

That is very nice indeed.
I'll be looking in car boot fair old tool piles with a new eye now!
Though that won't make up for the yawning skill gap

That's very nice. The hickory and brass look great.

 

[Tiley]

Wow! That is a clean, functional beauty!

 

[Monikieman]

sometimes a simple design is actually very hard to pull off. Really nice and simple but demands a second and third look!!

That's a beauty!

Utterly gorgeous! Beautiful and utilitarian at the same time.

yeah, that's a lovely looking knife and I really like tools that are made from other things, don't get me wrong, I love new stuff as well but creating something amazing from something else is a

That is an amazing looking knife, and from such humble beginnings too. Upcycling at it's best

Excellently done Mark. A fine knife indeed. Any chance you can supply the making of it details including forging etc?

 

[Leshy]

That is lovely. Love the simplicity and the geometry.
Like all your knives , this just stands out .

It's safe to say that if I had some spare dosh to treat myself to a posh knife , you would definitely be getting the job.

One can dream and hope ...
One day.
