i have been wanting to try my hand at doing some blade work my self. Where did you get the brass fittings, or do you pour those yourself? Oh and those are beautiful blades BTW.

Beautiful work!! But of course, in Solingen you have some of the finest blades in the world available.

**Alan H** · 27th November 07, 12:14 PM

Those are wonderful! I'm impressed.

Excellent work! Beautiful!!

I am so dense! I never looked at where you are. Do you work in the metal industry? We in America are sometimes in awe of the blades that come out of your area.

Wow, these are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing them with us.

Good looking knives.
I've been thinking for a while about making my own hilt and sheath for an old knife I have

Awesome work. I am very much impressed.

Very nice work, Thomas. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments.
@Berserkbishop: The fittings are not casted, they´re made from a massive piece of brass. I have made some efforts to cast silver, but the result isn´t worth mentioning

@James : Yes, I´m a metal worker, but making dirks, sgians and blades is and will remain a hobby. In daily work I earn my crust as an engine/machine fitter.

Cheers
Thomas
