Life in the Shop

 

I love looking at pictures of workshops and projects in process. Here are some pictures of life around RMJ Forge and RMJ Tactical and the work going on.

        Here are some Talons and Kestrels Ready for machining and on the mill.

         

Two Spanish Cross Hawks finished this week

            

This is a damascus Spanish Cross I made back a few months ago. I loved it.

           

        

Here is a montage of how I make the handle on a companion knife for a tomahawk. The handle is completely held together with the pewter inlays.

    The sharpening rack in the shop. Here are a group of Crash Axes ready to rock and roll!

    Here is a picture of the Talon we used during the Modern Marvels visit. This talon was used on a couple of cars to cut doors, windshields, locks, tires, hoods, break glass - you name it. With this hawk I have cut brick and concrete and chopped up a total of three cars roughing around. Please note how the cutting edges held up - that's a lot of abuse with very little edge damage. It's scratched up a good bit, but as John Ek said, "How pretty does a knife need to be to kill someone?"
