5160 Kama

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I forged this Japanese style sickle (kama) from 5160 leave spring.  The thing that took the most time was the teeth which I filed in one at a time with a needle file and elbow grease (not to mention patience).

I blackend the blade, and gave the handle a copper cap/ferrule for extra strength during use.
