As I Nepalese kukri gash, Bashny.Net

The logical continuation of the theme, which I promised to show the process of making the Nepalese kukri.
Doing so, it allowed the radius of curvature of my hands, so ready to receive comments and tips rukozhopov true.

First, it was spring, roofing by KAMAZ, whether from a tractor trailer, thick and heavy infection. To her by electric welded handle.

To dull the blade forging, as well as the occupation is in two hands takes all the attention and the same hand and the pictures do not work a lot ...

And so

Eventually get just such a blank

Home slesarki ...

Get in the end is here ...

Time hardening, heat-resistant sealant make the plaster, in order to quench zone and turned the output butt was soft and strong cutting edge. The fly is not mine, just flew look.

Kalit decided on the black American walnut (shell is thick and very strong when the core burn out already give a lot of heat).

Here is a wedge almost immediately after quenching, the right of the hearth tube, is the capacity for hardening - where oil 3 to 1 transformer and sunflower.

Brush from scale and plaster, the blade is visible boundary hardening, grinding and polishing after it became invisible, but it can at any time express with acid.

Started doing bolster, but as the tech could not find a piece of brass that the desired thickness had to build just such a muffle furnace

From the shape of the profile it has been made successfully melted brass faucet and cast a small brick-bread

Another photo casting

cut off the excess received such a brusochek

I mark up, and began to cut into the brass cubes place in the blade

And yet

The result is such a thing has turned

But in the morning I handle this with no regrets split the hammer on the anvil, and began to make a new suveli of apricot.

More in this time to the second time to kill the casting muffle furnace, as there was no thermostat, the heat for half an hour managed to fall down the spiral, magnesite plate with asbestos cement koltsom- there, scorched order mineral wool.

Due to the death of mufelki, tylnik decided to solder. It was taken by brass nut and purchased a suitable fitting.
