A what???
A brake is a large tool for cutting and bending metal sheets, it's likely you know it as a stomp shear. Had one in the metal studio at Uni. I loved using it to clip small bits of silver for fabricating rings and clockworks.

Number 1, just a dressed up swiss army knife. Teak scales instead of plastic, and a bit of design on spines of blades.
Number 2, a shank made from a old leaf spring with walnut handle. Thos thing is super pointy.
And lastly the tanto of doom. This thing will easily stab right through a car door. Its a pirated design from H&K knives. Handel is bamboo and rosewood. Funky looking but I like it.
yes I know pirating is bad, but its not for sale so?

Just a 3 wheel belt grinder. I don't forge, and don't heat treat. Strictly stock removal.

I could probably temper in the oven, but have no way to heat treat. So just send em off to get professional job.

Hmm, not sure that works with knives. The heat treat and temper need very consistent temps to make a quality blade. Otherwise they wont hold a edge very well.

The stamps I make 2.5" max so torch works great. Anything bigger must have a furnace??
That's still a pretty well equipped shop! One of these days I'll put one together. I miss it.

Indeed. I watched a few documentaries about that after the blood diamond movie. What those people have done to Africa should be crimes against humanity. Its speculated de beers even runs the illegal market. So sad a continent with vast resources got and is getting robbed like that. Africa should be a wealthy place. The people need to bring a bit of Rwandan genocide to the invaders and take back their wealth.Lol yes diamonds are dogey ?
