Bladeshow Build Blade Auction! Here is the finished knife I (we) made at @blade_show this year all from vendor supplied materials. It is now up for sale. This year I did have to spend some $ so I would appreciate if we could kick this off for a starting $100 bid and keep the bids to $10 increments. Bidding is open now and will go until Sunday June 13th at 6pm EST. Must be 18 to bid and winner must pay paypal within an hour. Shipping will be added to the final bid. Bid on this original Instagram post only. . This knife is made from: @nj_steelbaron W2 @jantzsupply blue G10 pins and Desert Ironwood and Epoxy Blade ground on a @brodbeck_ironworks grinder Pin holes drilled with @millnertools drill bits Handle ground on @burrking grinders as well as the final finish using @phoenixabrasives belts ( @warlander_enterprises provided the initial sheath but a drunk dude stabbed it in the pit 😬) I also would have heat treated with a @jenkenkilns but liability didn't allow for that this year. . Enjoy! . #thepxsmith #bladeshowbuild #bladeshow2021 #knifeporn #knifemaker #auction #sharp #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #sharpaf https://www.instagram.com/p/CP9hTPyjKW4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here is a still shot for thise that just want to stare at her... I am actually digging that dramatic low layer organic pattern. . Maybe today I will get some time to clean her up and get her peoperly etched and sharpened. My goal will be to only grind from the heel to the tip (maybe a little cleanup in the ring). . #thepxsmith #joshaweston #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #ringpommel #ringknife #celticsword #celt-ibero #germamic #damascus #sword #blacksmith #forged #resting (at Pixel Smith - Josh A.

Some still shots of the celtic war knife build. It's a low layer pattern with a forged ring pommel and globular grip adorned with cultural geometric patterns. The scabbard is of simple wood construction with forged bronze and copper fittings wrapped in hemp cord. . The balance is quite lovely and the grip is surprisingly comfortable. It's got a devastating edge that can process through a 2x4 in no time. . #thepxsmith #joshaweston #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #celtibero #germanic #sleek #ringpommel #celticsword #chieftan #historicalknives (at Pixel Smith - Josh A.

Full day class with an inspiring man. He's 68 and picking up a new hobby. I ran him through the ropes and directed him through the steps of forging a long chefs knife. He was incredibly teachable and responded well to the large amount of information thrown at him in one session. I can only hope that when I am 68 that I can still be as receptive to new information and ideas as he was. 🙏🙏🙏 . In the end he had a beautiful hand forged 1095 and I learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks so long as we are open to the old Biblical addage, "As iron sharpens iron, so do we sharpen each other." . #thepxsmith #joshaweston #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #knifemaking #knifenut #ironsharpensiron #learning #newskills #forging #forgingisfun #blacksmith .
