Banksia Pod Knife SALE PRICE
Description
AR20 –WAS originally $250, on sale for a limited time for 200... and ALSO free shipping! – This cute little knife nestles into the hand very comfortably, and could be used as a chip-carving knife, a small skinner, or whatever else you might feel the need for – although chopping down trees is probably a bit beyond its capabilities. It measures 6 ¾” overall, with a 2 5/8” blade. I forged it by hand from 1095 high carbon steel with a full tang. The guard is curved piece of bronze that sits flush with the handle, which in turn is made from a banksia pod with the seed pods filled with black Inlace™. The scales are held together with a peened brass pin and epoxy. The blade is stamped AR20.I have not made a sheath for this knife.
Materials of interest:
1095 high carbon steel: A fine traditional knife making steel, holds a good edge, fairly tough, and easy to heat treat. This is not a stainless steel, so it will rust.
Banksia pod: The Australian equivalent of a pine cone, these seed bearing cones can get quite large. The outer parts are fairly soft, but the interior is reasonably hard, and with a little effort, suitable for turning or carving. In this case I filled all the divots where seeds would have been with a black epoxy resin called Inlace™.
Inlace™: a commercial dyable epoxy resin compound that I use to fill holes and other gaps in some materials.
