| Hello and thanks for stopping by T Blade Forge My name is Larry Theroux and I enjoy making knives as a hobby. What I like most about knife making is the roaring fire of my gas forge, and the ringing of steel on the anvil, as I shape a piece of steel into the form I desire. As my knives are forged to shape, no two will ever be identical. The steels that I prefer are high carbon homogeneous steel, 1075,1084, 1095, 5160 or pattern welded steel (Damascus Steel) made in my shop. I forged my first knife in 2003 out of an old leaf spring from a pickup truck. The end result was a double edge dagger with a blade length of 10” and width of 1 7/8”. I showed it to my father and he immediately thanked me for making him a knife. What could I do except make a sheath and give it to him as a gift. |
