Handmade Custom Knife vs. Iron Heart Clothing
-
i have an immoral offer to make and i hope that fits to the trading rules.
Whats the offer about?
As my Username suggests i am a part time knifemaker. I do fixed blades in all kind of different ranges. from neck knives to chef knives to boot knives to bushcraft and outdoor knives, throwing knives, throwins crosses, axes etc. etc.see some examples.
So no idea if someone would be interested in trading IH stuff in XL or (w38/40 l34) and get a knife in return. Custom made to your wishes or something i have available...
As a hint i do everything on my own. from forging to handle finish to blade finish to leather works to bead manufactoring out of animal bones etc.

@theKnifemaker The axe is impressive, when buying my Winckler knife, I also had an eye on a Winckler axe… But I could barely resist.
-
@ConBu Which winkler you got? i really love their knives. been and inspiration. the hammer combat axe is perfection.
some more axes i did.2nd handle is mahagony, black micarta and stabilized purple maple
-
also enjoy the simple ones from time to time

The chefs knife looks great. What metal do you use for that? Also, are you interested in jackets? Shirts?
-
Yes, basically i am interested in everything. Jackets, Shirts, Shorts, accessoires etc.
metal always depends on the usecase behind. i am a big fan of carbonsteel. so if you want a nice slicer i would go for 1.3505 (100Cr6). Keeps a very sharp edge and keeps it longer than other steels like c70 for example. If you want a chefknife that can also chop / chop through a bone, 80crv2 is the steel to go. If you want a vegetable slider i would go for "bluepapersteel" (sorry i dont know the english term) but its used in knives in paper companies to cut the paper. Awesome steel. Can be compared to Aogami2 from Japan. Very high hardness, Very high sharpness but if you chop a bone there might a be good chance to get a breakout in the blade basically.

@theKnifemaker I am definitely interested in a chefs knife if you have anything available. I have several flannels if you’d like to see them. I’ll send you a direct message.
