    Patch knife making

    It m6 not be but the filing was hard & slow going none the less

    Patch knife making

    I believe it was hardened cause the filing was slow & at times just skidded across as I was filing. Had a blast doing it & getting ready for my next project.

    Patch knife making

    Thanks for the kind words. I will have to research annealing a blade. Got another old hickory blade I'm gonna modify. Gonna take me a little more time on that one. I'll send the pattern to you for your opinion & advice.

    .32 cal kit

    Both kits look nice but seem to like the Pedersoli .32 scout carbine @ Dixie gun works the most

    .32 cal kit

    Jim kibler got some nice kits it looks like but price is a little steep for me. Percussion cap no flintlocks

    Patch knife making

    Got the blade cut using a file... Now I'm figuring out how to cut the tang area out. As I'm limited to only a file at the moment due to limited funds I'm having problems but not giving up. Seems logic tells my slow & steady with the file & I'll be ok.

    Patch knife making

    I'm trying my hand at making a patch knife. Not forging but using an old old hickory knife. My question is how to cut the hardened carbon steel without ruining the integrity of the heat treating of the blade?

    What powder

    Goex seems highly recommend here. I appreciate the suggestion & will go with Goex. Just wondering a good place to order it.
