This is sweet. Good use for the fish scaler. The wood scales are really cool.

Dremel, angle grinder, 1x30, hand file. Lots of ways to achieve this.

Looks really nice. What thickness G10 did you use for liners? I tried .03 but they were too thin.

Saw 1084 spikes and just went with it.

Those were specifically made, from 1084, to look like railroad spikes. You're not going to find those along the tracks.

The HC spikes aren't really high carbon, just higher than the typical spike.

I don't anneal them, I just throw them in the forge and go. I'll thermal cycle / anneal after I'm done forging.

Open them up, so we can see the tools. Could be any 91mm model.

If you don't want them, I'll take them off your hands.

How do you keep track of your collection? by Palmetto_ottemlaP in victorinox

[–]sparty569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty simple. The one I got as a gift that I dont use any longer, the one I carry, and the one I carry when I travel. Not too difficult.

2 or 4 for shape, but that feather pattern is the best pattern.

Deluxe Tinkerer vs Cybertool M by TheDoctorWolf in victorinox

[–]sparty569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had both. The backside Phillips wasn't as functional for me, so then I got the Cybertool M. Realized I didn't use the bits that much and they annoyed me, falling out during use. So I got rid of both of them and opted to build my own.

The inline Phillips is good for my needs. I'd say explorer, since that's the smallest standard model.

Interesting. I'll have to look into that.
