More homemade cutlery!

[sakimoto]

This is a sword and left hand dagger that I made by hand out of a leaf spring that I cut length way. It was straightened out by a sledge hammer, ground with an angle grinder (cooled often with a spray bottle), and formed with a file. The handles are hollowed out pieces of scrape oak furniture. It took me a while but I finally finished it as promised in the last post that I made. I hope you like them. I got the idea form this website . Thanks again for all your responses and your information.

Very cool.

Did you heat treat them or just stay with the spring temper?

lot of time and effort paid off

Factory temper

I did not want to heat treat them. If you check out the website where I got the ideas form you can get more of an idea of what I was doing. They give some pretty good information on cold forging. Thanks for the reply!
