It's always amusing when the thread starts a new page and I jump in and catch something like this completely out of context.
Edit; to make this post more useful, here's something relevant I made a while back.
(what, you didn't think I'd been doing nothing at all while I was away, did you?)
Total length ~ 16 inches

- Rough edges were done with an angle grinder
-
- Grooves were made with the end of a belt sander (Obviously the sander wasn't running during this shot but you get the idea).
-
- I stamped the imperial legion emblem on here because I am a giant dork.
-
- Used the new foundry to heat treat this one. Also tesed out those thermocouple multimeters that harbor freight sells.
-
- Made a crossgaurd out of a big crane bearing. This was the same one my hunting knoif was made from

- Shineh
-
- I just threaded some tiger maple blocks and bolted them onto the tang when sanding it into shape. The pins that were put through them later were also threaded.
-
- I smeared some red high-temp silicone on one side of the joint before soldering. This was to keep the solder from dripping out when it was clamped upright.
-
- The rest was easy.
The pommel was fitted by blackening the underside and pressing it against the grip. Wood was removed where it left a 'print', until flush.

- Final product. Still needs a sheath.

Well glaze my nipples and call me Rita!
Bloody impressive work, wish I had the time for this knifemaking lark.
The stamping, did you actually make a stamp with the emblem or hammer it in following a pattern with something slightly more sophisticated that a screwdriver?

I just hammered it in. Broken allen wrenches make great punches for detailing work.
Not sure how to make stamps that are intended for steel; I'd think you'd either need a mill or a *very* steady hand.

Acid etching would be a relatively painless way of doing it, following by heat treatment to harden the punch itself.Fnord wrote:Not sure how to make stamps that are intended for steel; I'd think you'd either need a mill or a *very* steady hand.

Damn nice work on the dagger! Cant wait to get my shop done to make something nice...
In the mean time, my first 3D printed knife! Well, the handle is 3D printed and the blade just a storebought... But had to be able to test it!

Noice!
Have you thought about using 3D printing as a "lost wax" method of casting from metal? Or making moulds and casting from urethanes or similar?
