A blog of my personal experiences in Blacksmithing, Knifemaking, Wood Working, Photography, old tools and tool making as well as my random thoughts. Tuesday, January 02, 2007. This is a Knife I made for another knifemaker, every year I do atleast a few KITH drawings ( Knife In The Hat ) where several knifemakers make a knife, draw names and swap 'em. Making a knife for a knifemaker is always a good challenge I think it pushes me harder. Posted by Jens Butler at 2:24 PM. Fairfield, Iowa, United States.

It's painstaking work with a micro graver and a jewelers loupe, but really fun and challenging. Posted by Jens Butler at 11:33 AM.

Swords, Blades and Horseshoes: May 2010

http://bladesbywade.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Swords, Blades and Horseshoes. Friday, May 28, 2010. I've been making 1st half (1820-1850's) 19th century fur trade axes, and also 18th century (1700's) trade axes, also referred to as the Belt Axe, Tomahawk, and or Hatchet etc. I stay true to the period in their construction, hand forging and hand welding the poll onto the bar to be the axe on the 19th century &. Forging the poll on the 18th century axe, Both types are steeled in the bit, hardened and tempered. Fur Trade Axes Modified. Links to this post.
