    Cardoso Build Off 2012 Fixed blade : "The Devil Tongue"

    My draw for the fixed blade (i'm in the same idea than the balisong with the double point and edge)

    I find the idea coooool to kill zombis and demon

    For the detail, i'm thinking about 115w8 steel or niolox, and probably g10 and micarta for the handle. (red and black, bolster in a color and the other part in the other).



    I don't know if i will have the time to make the two project but that is my aim

    As i'm a player i make a fixed blade too that year.
    I didn't know if i would have the time (my son will come soon), but i have a bit of time in the workshop that week. I will try to make all the work before the end of the week end.

    Day One : 3 hours of work.


    I inked the niolox. (3,2 mm thick) and draw the blade. As my oven is small, i will make a half full tang in order to have 6 cm sharp more than if i would do a full tang.


    The band saw is my friend.


    I filed the end of the tang to have clean and round part.


    I drilled the tang



    The edge choil is done with the dremel, and all the line are staighten with the grinder.


    I cleaned


    I draw on a black G10 sheet the futur handle false piece.


    After some cut.


    I cut two piece of G10, black and orange. I scratch with a 60 belt grit


    I epoxied the two piece together


    My grind wise is ok, i flattened all the side of the blade.



    grit 60



    Grit 120



    grit 240


    The two pieces are epoxied


    After to have cut in two scale the sheet, i try to see the futur result


    4,2 holes



    The hole are done


    A first build with screw


    After some grind work of the handle



    The end of the work with bad picture

    Devil Tongue. That is perfect, you have find the name of the two knives . Thank you



    I cleaned everything


    I draw my logo


    I cut the logo


    With a salted solution and AC/DC power supplyer i etched the blade.


    That is etched


    After a buffer shot


    I cut the brass pins and put everything in place


    Everything is pinned and epoxied



    Some 40mm wheel hit in order to see the result
    I will have to go a bit deep on the side (3mm to go through the black G10. I will maybe drill some hole between the pins and to countersink in order too see the orange appear
