Here's one i made earlier

[Paddy Galore!]

further to the knife making comp that was mentioned, this is one of two i made when i used to work in a foundry.

the basic knife had a broken tip and tang, we had to strip off the original rubber handle and reshape to suit, the handle is aluminium and was cast onto the tang using a method called burning, all this means is molten metal was poured through the mold heating the knife tang to a similar temp, this helps eliminate air pockets and makes for a solid casting. the handle was then fettled, a foam bike grip was fitted and shaped to suit.

then after shaping and finishing the blade, a fine dust blast to give it a satin finish. I have a stiletto made from a large file blade hiding in the shed somewhere, i'll post pictures when i find it, it's a real work of art.

Anyhoo, what do you think?

Aha, prince of wales rd then, never heard of the place, kinda glad of that fact i doubt i'd have lasted long in there...

I was thinking of handing them into the police so they could dispose of them, but i'm loathe to do it cos i took so much time on them, they're both useless really, although i remember that the stiletto was really really sharp and wouldn't lose its edge.
