Jakub Petráš - forged knives

[Jakub Petras]

So, is really hard made something origin This knife I create without plan. First I forged blade and I want to change shape of this folding knife because most of slipjoints from my workshop looks equally. And this is a product of little by little grinding with intention to make something similliar as scandinavian fixed knife.

Yes, blade is too short in proportion of handle. When I finished knife I was a bit dissatisfied but now I like it.

Nice work ! You talked about a homemade powerhammer, can you show us that ? I'm curious.

Beau travail ! Tu nous a parlé d'un marteau-pilon fait maison, tu pourrais nous montrer ça ? Je suis curieux.

There is some elder photos of powerhammer in my previous worskhop:

Yes, that works. You draw the plans or made it from known plans ?

Oui, ça marche. Tu as dessiné les plans ou l'a construit selon des plans existants ?

Powerhammer is work of my father and he made it from his own plans but during the work he did a lot of changes.

I finished sheath for slipjoint from previous page so I want to show you picture of it and some other photos of knife from various sides. Handsewn sheath is from cowhide leather, colored with spirit stain and impregnated by bees wax.

Comment ça se fait que tu reçoives des lames forgées par des inconnus ?
