Junkyard Bushy
one of my first attempts at forging using my own charcoal bathtub forge, the blade is from a landrover leaf spring, the scales are from an old piece of tufnol rod the blade was tested with hardness files and comes out greater than Rc55 but less than Rc 60 and passed the brass rod test ok.
Blade flat ground 120 x 26 x 4mm
OAL 235mm
will make an ideal work knife
Handle tufnol with 6mm brass pins and 6mm lanyard tube
sheath from 3mm veg tanned shoulder with dangler (as per photo)

£35 inc postage

Ian, how are you finding forging then?

thats really good looking knife man.I have forged few big,kukri styled knives from 8mm thick leaf springs,they sure need some banging but the results are worth the effort.

Damn & dratt.....Missed it
A landy knife...Love the texture to the body of the blade

If you plan to make another at this amazing price Ian please put me down for one.

Have you posted any pix of you working at your forge and the forge itself? Love to see it in action.

Cheers

Hi Craeg

I'm planning to do a run on rough and ready users made from recycled materials, with blades made from saw blades, coil & leaf springs and handles from what ever is to hand, I will be using a combination of forging and stock removal.

Ian,

If it's a promise to come from a Landy leaf spring then I'd love one please! Add me to the list...

Looks like a good knife, but does it want you to turn into every garage for diesel.

It apparently has an annoying squeak you can't quite track down.

Can't be a landy then... they're easy to find, everywhere!

How can tufnol suit a landrover? Its water resistant!

Lovely knife and a great price

He's got a point. If that blade's made from a Landy then the rivets will come loose in a matter of days...

Must admit , I've never knew Landys had springs before , must be an optional extra.

Great Knife. Do some more.

I really did get in, just in time, on this one

I'm really looking forward to it arriving, it certainly looks the business.

Ha! I've just had a bit more read through the rest of the thread, ref Land Rovers
Well, if its half as good as some of the other Land Rover modifications you see around, it'll certainly do me

all the best

Steve
