The Barrels to Blades re-forging project was born out of the necessity to reuse and recycle gun barrels that have become too thin to shoot and uneconomical to repair. The effort that is put into the creation of gun barrels is among some of the highest levels of craftsmanship in the world and deserves to be preserved.
Our goal is to give a new lease of life to an unusable barrel, re-forging the steel into a new beautiful new tool ready for a lifetime of use once again.
All knives are UK legal carry non-locking folding knives (under 3”) forged from 52100 high carbon steel, made in Sheffield. Re-forged barrels are made into folding blade handle. Barrels are sourced from deactivated scrap gun barrels from local sporting shop.
