Here’s your chance to own a one of a kind heirloom knife with over 150+ years of history made within it. Forged from a mixture of wrought iron, 15n20, with a 1084 edge forge welded into a solid bar and drawn out, filed, and finished all by hand(checkout my Instagram to see the progress videos from start to finish). The wrought iron came from an old wagon wheel rim that may have came from a wagon going west only history knows for sure. Wrought iron was last made in the until the late 1960s before normal mild steel took its place, it is made from a mixture of pure iron and silica forged down into strips and forge welded into itself giving the wood grain type pattern when etched. Historically when wrought iron was at its peak and steel was hard to come by knife makers would spilt a bar and drive in a small piece of steel and forge weld it to create the knives somewhat in a similar fashion to what I did. This knife is made to look old and I think I hit the ball out of the park on this one. The handle is antler with a poured pewter bolster and it’s fastened with a peened end going into a washer to lock it in mechanically.
This knife is great for daily use whether you’re working around the ranch, going to rendezvous, or want a good quality tool to use to butcher your game on your next hunt. This blade is made to slice and cut, not chop that’s what axes are for or pry that’s why they make crowbars. so any damage to this knife caused by using it in a manner that it’s not made for will not be refunded. With proper use and care this knife can last for generations for you to hand down to your kids. Dead Head Forge was founded due to my love of the outdoors and we’re proud to offer the tools needed for your excursions to make life a little more simpler, but a lot more fun!
