sundance Posted March 6, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 6, 2021 A couple more beauties. Do you make the sheaths also? About how much time goes into making these knives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted March 6, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 6, 2021 Ditto, @sundance! Would love to know if you make the sheaths, and I would love to know some approx. time for some of thes knives you've shown! They are so cool! I really like this one!

aznation Posted March 6, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 6, 2021 @TheSnake It's obvious you have knife making skills. What's your goal in making these replicas? Are they for your own use or benefit? Are you planning to sell any replicas you make? What made you decide to make WWII replica knives? What other kind/s of knives do you make besides the replica WWII knives you've shown?

TheSnake Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted March 7, 2021 Yes, I make my own sheaths, mostly hand sewn leather, although I have made some from Kydex. I usually say it takes me a couple of weeks to make a knife and sheath. Alot is work time, and some is kinda static time, like waiting for glue and dye to dry, and time in the heat treating oven. I make all sorts of knives, hunting, camping,, oyster, etc. and do sell them. I just became drawn to military blades for their "form follows function" aesthetic, I guess.

thorin6 Posted March 8, 2021 Share #12 Posted March 8, 2021 I like them, and that any collector of FS knives can easily see that they are modern made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted March 8, 2021 Share #13 Posted March 8, 2021 On top of the great knives, I really like the well made sheath, with the protective metal plate. Great work! SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
