Hmm, Khajiit hasn't considered that. This one did give a Morakniv blade with a custom made handle to his father for his birthday last year. Perhaps after Khajiit's skill level and capability (need more tools!) increases he will start to sell them. What this one would like to do is get into forging his own blades.

Khajiit has Morakniv?

Had. Khajiit bought this blade from Amazon and put a guard and a handle on it. Then gave it to father as a birthday gift.

Nice gift

This sounds Awesome!!!! And yes, I actually would love to see some pics of your work!







Maybe, lol.

What's going to retain the blade? The Morakniv blades have a notch that a screw or rivet can catch, but the one you're using now has nothing. If it's a good steel, it will be hard to drill a hole in it, so you're left with clamping in some way.

I bought my son a 30 year old house last year off an internet auction and have spent the last 6 months re-plumbing the entire house, new central heat and air, new roof, new wiring, and new insulation. It needs painting, wrap-around deck and porch repairs, a retaining wall, and driveway repairs.

But when all is said and done, the house is a Builder's special made for his own personal home, so it has some awesome features; and it is in a neighborhood where all the homes are valued at 250% what I paid for it - and hopefully after fixed it will give my son a nice return on the investment to start his future with.






How will you be able to keep the blade in the haft? It doesn't seem to have a way to anchor it.

The best gift evah, mALX!

Yeah the blade was very sharp. The handle was the first this one attempted.

I love seeing your projects, from shields to sheds!








That blade looks wicked sharp!

Wow, Khajiit. That thing turned out great!

Epoxy is what is used to hold it all together. Khajiit has seen examples of hidden tang blades that had a pin to hold the blade in the handle (like aforementioned katana tsuka), and this one has made a hidden tang pinned hilt for an old crappy machete he had laying aroun, which turned out ok, if a little loose.


Khajiit can personally attest that it was! Cut this one quite a few times, lol


Thanks! It was a fun little project. Learned a lot from it.

I´ve had a project in mind for months if not years; to make a longsword + scabbard out of one single piece of wood. Have problems finding a good piece of wood though and not to mention a workshop with at least a bandsaw

Here is the pinned hilt machete Khajiit mentioned, for any interested.

Nice. Been meaning to get me a machete at some point.

Ugh, Khajiit wishes he had a nice workshop! Khajiit's tool wishlist:
Band saw
Drill press
Bench grinder
Belt grinder
A dedicated workbench, lol


That one was a crappy Coleman machete this one got at walmart over a decade ago. Khajiit hated the one handed handle so he made a new one for two hands! (Mainly for looks; Khajiit has better machetes for real work)

I would like that too, but I could settle with the workshop, band saw and the tools I already have

Khajiit agrees, a bandsaw would be a big help.

Mirocu has an awesome work shop, I've seen a lot of his projects! (Including the last shed he built; a gorgeous driveway, shields, etc.

Yes, Khajiit has looked at some his stuff. Mirocu is quite talented!
