Albaniana bronze handled knife

[dave74]

Oh, I really like these smaller knives with complex shapes. But then I do have a good deal of practice making them and have a closely guarded secret methode to craft these ......

I use two different size wooden mallets I made from walnut, reinforced with rawhide strips.

I like hints,Robert,my brain needs the excercise!
Off topic but,started another xiphos,may have a method of doing *spurs* on Greek swords to share that will work well for your shop set up,I'll send an email,if only I could forge and,take pictures/video at the same time
