Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. I just wanted to show you what I’ve been working on lately. I’m still forging knives out of old weatherby rifle barrels. I have a couple up on my website dweatherbyforge.com for sale if any of you are interested. This blade I forged out of a .340 chrome moly barrel. I put a stainless tube inside the chamber and then an O1 high carbon rod inside that (which forms the edge) before forging so it created a really interesting pattern in the blade. Of course I put the .340 shell on the pommel to show its origin!

If it wasn't such a PIA to ship guns parts out of  canuckastan, I have a 460 barrel that I would see if you could make into a custom knife.  8)

What can I say that the guy's haven't already said,  beautiful, unique and  anyone would be proud of owning one.   I really wished more best  quality  folder skinning /caping knives were available, something maybe you could make down the road would be pretty cool.   I really don't know a lot of hard core elk hunters locally in Arizona where we live and hunt elk that use fixed blades anymore, we all have large fixed blade knives but they don't get used or carried that much anymore,  most of us keep  several boning , caping, butchers  knives,  saws, stones and old school steels  in the vehicles when needed,  if packing  boned  out meat  it's almost always folding knives of some type and personal preference and they are usually not all that big 2 " to 3 " blade is really all that is needed for elk.   Several taxidermist  friends use short  fixed blade Victorinox shaping knives or similar for skinning and caping, we have them also.

Anyone wanting a truly custom knife should consider having Dan do the work out of a Weatherby barrel. You will not be disappointed.
