Grandsons Bowie-type Knife Project
Short impromptu video of a knife made a few weeks ago: During a 2 day/2night 'sleepover', an eleven year old grandson (and I) managed to turn out this 'bowie-type' knife. During that time, with my help where needed here and there, he put it on paper, hammered away to broaden it some, ground the profile, ground the bevel with a grinding jig on the 2x72, and learned how long it takes to get that hole in the guard filed just right to fit the tang. I watched his skills improve noticeably along the way and we had a great time. He very much likes large knives, so we went to about the max you can with a ferrier rasp. There was a 'first' involved for me too. It wouldn't fit in my oven for tempering, so I did my first temper with a torch. Don't know why I haven't tried that before, but plan to do it more often. I always enjoy time spent with the grandkids, whether out in the shop, eating popcorn in front of a movie, bike rides, or whatever they like (each one is my favorite!).
