Clyde Shoe in the September, 2001 edition correctly pointed out that theEnglish billhook is a very versatile tool. This versatility is the reason thatmost countryside workers, certainly anyone doing coppicing or underwood
crafts, have at least one billhook, andthat normally ready to hand. Keepingthe tool ready to hand can be difficult,especially when coppicing; as thebillhook is used in short bursts, withinterludes when stems and tops arebeing stacked, sorted, or perhaps sawn.And the coppice worker is continuouslymoving around the area, sometimesaway from where he last used thebillhook.
A billhook is too big for a pocket (andhopefully too sharp). Old woodsmenwore their bills (single edged ones) ontheir belts, and many modern workers
do the same. But the curved patterns of billhook do not naturally lendthemselves to being contained in a sheath and simply tucking them intothe belt would lead to trousers falling round the ankles very quickly. Thesolution is not universal knowledge and is something I have never seen inprint.
A simple metal hook with a loop for attachment to the belt suffices. Thegape is small, just wider than the thickness of the billhook blade.Originally these would have been of forged wrought iron (Fig. 1). Now

I had just spent several hours sanding andpolishing up a Loveless-type drop-pointhunter blade I had purchased from BobEngnath. I could see my reflection in it. Ihad also spent a couple hours sawing,shaping and filing a brass guard to fit theblade with no gaps showing. I even gotthe hole for the pin just right, with verylittle slack. The guard would stay in placeby itself with the blade in any position. Iclamped the blade point-up in the vise andset two little nibs of solder (2% silver, asadvised) on top of the guard. Lighting upmy propane torch, I applied heat to theunder side of the guard and waited for thesolder to melt. The bits of solderturned into little balls, so I began tomelt more solder into the joint. Justas the solder melted into the joint,the unpinned end of the guarddropped about a sixteenth of aninch! Of course when I took thetorch away, the solder solidified.Upon looking things over, I foundthat I had a good solder joint, but theguard was cocked just a bit, orslightly slanted, not good for thelook I had planned.
I could have left it that way andgone ahead and put the stag scaleson, but it didn’t seem right. Afterreflecting for some time, and evenconsidering the possibility ofmelting the solder out, I came upwith a plan.
Among other long-unused items inmy shop, was a square file. A coarsebelt on my belt sander served togrind the teeth off one flat of the file.After wrapping one layer of masking tapeon the blade in front of the guard toprotect the nice finish, I was able to fileaway enough of the guard on the spine-side to make things look right. I had to dothis on both sides of the blade, of course,until both sides were parallel. This filingcaused the guard to be narrower at the topthan at the bottom, but a reversal of thewhole procedure on the back of the guardbrought everything to rights. The guardwas now not as wide as before, but itlooked fine with the set of stag scalesapplied and a nice feather patternengraved in the metal.
In an earlier experience(should I sayexperiment? since many of my projects are),I was trying to complete a knife that wouldlook similar to a picture I had seen on thefront of Sid Latham’s book,
I had a Bob Engnath bladeand a set of beautiful stag scales I hadpurchased at an OKCA Show. Everythingwent fine until I had the scales fastened onwith epoxy and counter-sunk Corby-typerivets. When the epoxy had cured overnightand the handle was ready for final shaping, Ifound that the stag material was way toothick.
It seemed that the only way to get the thingto be right was to start rasping and sandingthe stag down until it would feel good to thehand and also look right. Of course, that wasgoing to take off the “bark”, or beautiful
brown covering, and leave only an opaquewhite appearance. Again, I was able to comeup with an idea that saved the beauty of thehandle. I later found out that some knifemakers have also used this same procedure.I went over to my table-top band saw, whichhad a metal-cutting blade still installed froman earlier project, and carefully sawedthrough the stag and the metal pins rightdown along the tang. I ruined the teeth onthe blade, but I later realized I didn’t need toget that close to the hardened tang, becausethere would still be plenty of thickness leftin the stag. The rivets got hot enough fromthe sawing that they came out easily. A lot ofmaterial was removed from the inside of thescales on the coarse belt before I was

satisfied with the thickness. This time abeautiful knife took shape, and it doesindeed resemble the picture.
A few years ago I attended an engravingworkshop put on by Jerry Whitmore andhave spent considerable time trying to dodifferent things that I learned in hisworkshop. I am pleased at some of theresults. Recently I was working on a knifethat I agreed to complete for a friend. Ihad engraved a simple scroll on each sideof the blade. Since it was a hardened steelblade, I used a carbide graver. I thenshaped a set of bolsters to solder onto theblade.
Recently I read an article about usingIvory soap to clean stainless steel forsoldering. I had never had a problem
before with my alcohol wipe, but Idecided to try soap. I didn’t have anyIvory, so I decided to try liquid dishsoap. I rinsed the blade in hot waterand set it up in the vise, with theguard clamped on. When heated andfluxed, the solder just rolled off.Even with more heating, moremelted solder ran off. When I finallytook the blade out of the vise, it waskind of brown and yellow, and evenblue below the guard. No solderstuck. I thought maybe I had ruinedthe blade as far as temper, but a filetest showed it was still hard. I didn’twork on it again for some time. Thenone day I started hand sanding theblade again to get rid of the awfulcolor. It finally came back to a niceshiny finish, but the engraving waspartly gone. I wondered if I could re-cut it to the original pattern.
I remembered when I had first seenJerry engraving at a show. He was talkingto me and engraving at the same time. Inanswer to one of my questions, he askedme to watch how he would correct amistake. He cut a curve that purposelydrifted off the line, and then he cut over itin just a slightly different curve thatincorporated this line into the design. So, Ire-cut my scrolls; and where I got slightlyoff, I corrected. I even added some leavesand curves. It looks better than it did atfirst.
I know that sometimes we have to startover, but not all failed projects are throwaways.

BUCKEYEA wood most deer to knife makersLarry Davis
Funny name, "Buckeye", but this popular handle wood has another equally unusualname as "Horsechestnut." Thanks to Dennis's encouragement to do these articles,I've had to crack the research books a bit wider than normal and have uncoveredmany interesting (to me) wood facts along the way, including the source of thesetwo nicknames. We'll get to that shortly.
Buckeye belongs in the Hippocastanaceae family and the genera Aesculus withseveral species world wide. Aesculos californica or "California Buckeye" is thespecies most used by knifemakers, I believe, because wood suppliers have access togood amounts from cutters on a consistent and dependable basis. We harvest ourburls directly in the Sierra foothills about forty miles from the shop. CaliforniaBuckeye seems to like growing in shallow, rocky soil so burls are generally notlarge or deep underground like walnut or maple burls can be and tend to be more"saucer" shaped with ingrown rocks that play havoc with chain saws (sigh) .
Buckeye wood is soft and porous and doesn't have much commercial use except apast history in the prosthetics industry. Its light weight, stable fiber made carvedwooden "legs" and such desirable from it. It also has use as a fine carving wood.When freshly cut, Buckeye's color is creamy yellow; and the highly regarded blueand grey colors only show up after the wood has aged and fungus has produced astain in it. This coloration is unpredictable (darn), and fortunately some knifemakers prefer all grey color and others prefer a mix of grey and yellow while otherslike the solid yellows. Buckeye must be stabilized to be of good use.
Buckeye gets its name from the resemblance of the large, shiny brown seed with itspale scar upon it to the eye of a deer....buck eyes. This source I was aware of, butthe Horsechestnut name was a surprise. Seems Matthioli, physician to EmperorMaximilian II, received a specimen from Constantinople in 1565 with informationthat the Turks fed their horses meal prepared from seeds. Matthioli gave the tree theLatin name of Castanea equina. Later this was translated into Greek asHippocastanum, and Linnaeus adopted this form in the name he gave to the tree,Aesculus hippocastanum. Both the Latin and Greek names mean horsechestnut.

The photo is of a Buckeye burl harvested from the Sierra foothills last year whenland was being cleared for a new vineyard and is the largest I've ever seen.

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
April, 2002 it’s here folks, and the OregonKnife Collectors Show is just around thecorner. April 19 Friday, April 20 Saturday andApril 21 Sunday. I have the feeling that thisyear is going to be a super Show and full ofsurprises for some people. Last year I hadsome fun and picked up some really greatknives.
Thanks to Jim Pitblado from CA, I was able to pick up some real nice knives. You can seethem in my display at the Show. When you step into the hall from the front door, just look tothe left. My name for the display is going to be “Let’s Roll”. I got that from the logo themilitary has put on some of its planes. It’s in honor of a man that was on a passenger planethat crashed Sept 11 in the state of PA.
I just picked up a beauty of a knife off ebay last week. It is a Remington 15th AnniversaryBullet knife. It’s a replica of the 1997 bullet knife, The Lumber Jack, only this one hassmooth bone handles. The bullet shield is sterling silver on one side, and the other isengraved 15th Anniversary. The pattern is R4468, a two blade knife. It will be in the displayat the Show.
I guess one of my favorite knives from the Remington Bullet knives is the Remington R4243,The Camp knife. It’s a very large knife from 1994 and is huge. The knife has four blades andcomes in plastic or sterling silver or bone handles. It’s also my understanding that the sterlingsilver knives by Remington have been cancelled.
The following is a list of the Remington knives and some values.R 1123 1982 Bullet Trapper $699.99 R 1173 1983 Baby Bullet Trapper $299.00R173L 1984 Lockback $185.00 R 1303 1984 Lockback $215.00R4353 1985 Woodsman $185.00 R 1263 1986 The Hunter $249.00R1613 1987 The Fisherman $185.00 R 4466 1988 Muskrat $119.00R1128 1989 Trapper $99.00 R1306 1990 Tracker $79.00R1178 1991 Baby Bullet $79.00 R 1253 Guide Lockback $69.00R 4356 1993 Bush Pilot $89.00 R 4253 1994 Camp Knife $99.00R 1273 Master Guide $89.00 R 3843 Trail Hand $69.99R 4468 1997 The Lumber Jack $64.99 R 293 1999 Hunter,Trader, Trapper $69.99R103 1999 Ranch Hand $79.99 R 1630 2000 Navigator Value $70.00Remington Mariner 2001 Value $60.00
So if your thinking about getting started on this collection, I would suggest you look around some. Thisprice list is not the last word out there; you can find them a lot cheaper. Not all of the 1982 1123 knivesare $700.00. Just got to keep looking.
See you all at the Show and above all else have some fun. Mike Kyle
