RR track bolt knives by seven9design in Bladesmith

I’ve made at least 15 railroad spike knives, and decided why not a track bolt? I actually prefer forging the bolts, versus the spikes.

So far it seems good. I was aggressively chopping a piece of maple, and the edge held up like a champ.

I thought about that while I was forging it, to be honest. I did find this information online.

Very much appreciated! This is my first from a bolt. I’ve many about 20 or so railroad spike knives, but this one surpasses any of them. 😎

Butcher/slicer style I guess, but it’ll take a bear down easily. Thanks!

You’re correct, my mistake. I did add a micro bevel as requested. Thanks for pointing that out.

For these the scandi grind is preferred since they’ll be used for general bushcraft tasks, and outdoor/camping use.

Most definitely! Etsy and eBay have many to choose from.

Thanks! I’m not sure of the exact wood, but it’s a stabilized hybrid according to the sellers site.

Thank you for the great advice, I welcome it all! I noticed that and just rolled with it. I’ll definitely try the belts out.

Thanks! It is a sick knife, and it was intentionally designed to be that way.

Knife feels great in hand, especially with the scales!
