I totally forgot to ask if anyone wanted to do craft swaps for the holidays!
If your families and friends are like mine, they have enough of what I make on the regular.
I though a craft swap could be fun.
I’m willing to do that all year long. Like for birthdays. I prefer trading to selling.
I can make so many things. From hand hafted knives in leather sheaths to teddy bears. I work in many mediums.
This sounds like an awesome idea!!!
A little too late for a "Christmas" exchange - but that doesn't really matter.
We could to a January swap or whenever.
Sounds like fun!
We might need to come up with some guidelines, though.
Yes, we’d have to discuss values for trades.
Do you have any examples of the knives?
Yes - i would also like to see.
These are my first ones. I’ve gotten much better. Don’t have pics on this device.
Old ones
I don’t make the blades. My friend did.
@Annaleda does your friend do any other style of knife? And other metals? I’d be interested in a kukri knife. Especially in Damascus. I have no idea what that entails as far as making it, but I imagine it’s difficult. Here’s a picture of what I’m thinking, but this one is kinda fancy...
@Flexymorals Unfortunately he retired.
Here is a great video of my dad at work on Bremerton Naval Base, a third generation heavy metal forger.
My dad made knives, but I’ve no pictures on my device.
@Annaleda that’s awesome. I’d love to learn that trade.
