Well done Red, a great reforging of a billhook. The grain on the handle looks great. Happy forging

Thanks a lot Tim! I love Wenge! And shiny blades ;)

That is simply beautiful, great project and a great re-use of an otherwise worthless billhook.

Thank you very much Graham! And a good way to ensure this blade will stay in the family and not being thrown away because useless :)

That's a cool sharpening setup you have! And a beautiful way to put your grandmother's blade to new use 😍

Thanks a lot Dan! I love mixing brass and wenge. I think it also works very well with paddauk and purpleheart, but it's a pain to find those here.

Awesome work, thanks for sharing, Red!

Another great build, Red! I really like the shape of the Kukri and making your own is very cool. I think the donor blade was a bill hook. You'll be so ready for the zombie apocalypse! 😁

Thank you Ed! I've always wanted to try and make a Kukri :D You're right, it's a bill hook and apparently also called a William's hook. My grand mother would be mad to see what I've made with it, but yeah, I'm ready from Zombies ;)

Very clean! Nicely done Red

Thank you Douglas! I was very tempted to simply restore it, but I have a few of those and I'll probably do it anyway on another one. But I also wanted to reforge it into a kukri and I'm pretty happy with the result :) Thanks for watching!

Super nice video Red bro, really like the handle. Nice toothpick !

It is (was) a billhook, used for removing tree branches. Great re-purposing.
