KNIFE WITH SHEATH

A hand forged knife with yew handle and leather sheath.

Detail of blade.

You can see the pattern in the blade formed by fire welding and folding the metal.

This blade is a laminate of mild and high carbon steel having over three hundred layers.

Shown here are a couple of the many metal shields made at Blackforge

The shields are made in forged steel, copper and leather.

The copper fret-work follows the celtic style.

This shield is similar to the one above but has no copper fret-work.

Both shields are about 16" in diameter.

They can be lined on the back with leather and have a handle.

A steel Dragon with planished wings and forged body.

A wall mounted candle stick holder with removable tray/candle holder.

'Snake' candle-stick holders.

This is just a small selection of work from Ben . There will be more of it displayed on this site very soon.
