TFF Knife Makers...Railroad Spike Knife???
I went to the mountains awhile back and there was a knife shop there that had some homemade stuff in their cases. I saw one of these railroad spike knives there and I thought they were simply beautiful.
Any of you guys make one or try to make one?

Re: TFF Knife Makers...Railroad Spike Knife???
I think the metal could be shaped into a cool looking knife, but I think it has the wrong composition to make a "good" knife. If its only purpose is to look at, why not.

Re: TFF Knife Makers...Railroad Spike Knife???
The finished knife looks like it has a convex edge. I am a big fan of that type of grind.

The ones I saw looked even better than the one in the bottom of that picture. Look at this one.

My son brought a few railroad spikes home one day from some abandoned railroad tracks. I wish I had the stuff to make one of these knives.

I used to have a crap load of the rail road spikes we collected as kids off an old shut down rail road. Use to, they'd replace the ones that need replaced and toss the old one's off to the side, or off the stone.
