    Default Hi from Picton

    I just saw this forum for like the thousandsth time and realised you had a smithy section, so I changed my mind, I'm in.

    I am a very keen knife maker and have a little workshop in Picton, which I open regularly to those who like making, or want to start making knives.

    Some of you may know me as Niroc on Australian Blade Forums.

    Here are some pictures of my work

    Hand forged from a bearing case with brass mallee root burl, red fibre and buffalo horn

    Ground from A high speed steel hacksaw with Carbon Fiber and red vulcanize fiber handle and nickle silver fittings


    Hand Forged from a truck leaf spring with micarta handle and brass corbies


    Hand forged from crane lifting cable (cable damascus) with Beefwood and brass
