Recycle challenge.

[cletus]

After a few beers i was asked by a few mates if i could turn various bits of old metal into some bushcraft stuff, may have got a bit silly with the pointy bit on the tomahawk, but my mates were very suprised with the outcome of my challenge.

Hello Scott.
These are the materials i used, except for the tomahawk which was a ball peen hammer. The small cooking knife was the rebar which i forged, the rest were stock removal method, the parang being an old leaf spring and the leather handled knife was a file...

Thanks for the comments!!
Paul.

I really like the leather handled knife. Good work!

 

[Halfdevil333]

Very nice. I thought i recognised the tomahawk as a ball peen hammer.

Cheers
Scott

I take it you've got a mechanical hammer and a proper anvil/forge for this? Great looking work, I need to get cracking on my planned knives...

 

[cletus]

Hi spandit got a homemade forge and a proper anvil but the hammer is a cutdown 7lb sledge hammer mate.

 

[cletus]

After using the large bushknife i made (and my mate now owns) i thought i want one now!!!
I made this from a leaf spring...
Sheath is a bit ropey but it does the job!!!!

Comments always welcome..

Wow, that Parang and stacked leather handled knife are gorgeous! Some stunning skills you have there, I bet the next few rounds are on you when you're next at the pub!
