Crooked knife blade - group buy?
- Thread starter Ronin
- Start date
I would be in for 2 blades, two with different curves would be great.
Jimbo's article on Crooked knives is worth a look.

Aaron York has done some great handles on crooked knives....I would love to be able to do something like this but I imagine mine will be more like the rag wrapped example in Jimbo's article

The above graphic of blade profiles is the maker of the front two crooked knives.
Kestrel Tool, Gregg Blomberg, forged the two knives in the forefront of this image. Really excellent tools. North Bay forge made the 3rd knife and the scorp.
I am looking forward to having a longer crooked knife than these. One 5" or so blade with a gentle hook at the end and a 5" with more of a curve would be a perfect pair.

I'll change mine to a yes please, but as to shape, I have no real idea as I'm not sure what is best.
Maybe like Jimbo's?

They seem a bit broad in comparison to others I have seen?
Hi folks,
CROOKED KNIFE UPDATE
Here are the picks for the crooked knife blades.
The profiles available (just to keep things simple)
Profile A:
Profile H:
Blade spec is 3mm High Carbon 01 tool steel, 19mm wide, 7" long (5"blade, 2" tang)
Tangs are pre-drilled for handles. Blades are edge ground and heat treated, ready for sharpening.
Left and right hand versions available.
Unit cost on a purchase of 10 or more will work out at £12.00 per blade. This includes unit cost, import duty and VAT and delivery by recorded delivery to any address in the UK. (Can deliver international just email me the location)
Preferred payment by PayPal but I can take cheques. Just to clarify, I am not doing this for profit, just want to save on postage.
Schwert and ssj have ordered seperately as they are US based. Maybe they can post a review when they get their blades?
The list below is everyone who has expressed an interest. If you would still like to order then, (to save the posting and pm's) email me directly on seanpetty@freeuk.com
You need to let me know
number of blade(s).
profile choice(s)
left or right handed.
delivery address.
payment choice.
This is going to be a one off as the forger will be doubling his prices after this order due to increased material costs which he cant absorb.
