Working on too many as usual.

Large Chooper!!!

Making progress slowly but surely

Ready to drill handle scales

Made progress on sisters Christmas present.

Now the smaller knives in the batch

 

[Battle Creek Knives]

nice !!!

what is the the colored stuff on the blades??

 

[blgoode]

its Dykem Layout die. I scribe the profile in and I get much more precise repetition in cutting and cleaning up profiles. Also it helps me grind because it gives a great easy to read color transition between ground bevels and untouched flats. You can see where I marked my pin locations also. Just much more precise layout lines.

Looking sweet, Brian.

How big is the chopper and the kitchen knife for your sister? I scaled up a small chopper today and was going to contour the handles, but I got sidetracked on a new work rest.

The chopper has a 8" blade and the Chefs knife has a 7" blade. I wasn't in the mood to grind down 8" of 7/32" stock but we made it through it untill heat treat anyways

 

[ERIK KNIVES]

Big knives take time, don't they? I like those sizes and I bet your sister loves her Christmas present!

 

[blgoode]

Yeah. Can't really rush em but then again can't rush the small ones either

Hope the chefs knide turns out well
