I was going to do more but once the carbon fiber is ground... no more pics! lol I need an underwater camera... undercarbon cam. :D


Yanagiba! Drilling with a backer so I don't blow out the back of the CF. This material is made in the USA by Ghost and is aerospace grade... top notch material.




These two will be glued up tomorrow! Comments are appreciated... thanks for taking the time to check out my work. :cool:

 
That Yanagiba ? looks awesome... nice merge of new and old... peace

Much appreciated! I'm seriously excited about it... held out until I had some carbon fiber in as I felt it just needed it. Cool you like it!

I suppose Yanagiba (willow leaf shaped blade) is correct but it may need the space... Yanagi Ba. I really don't know! :D Whatever it is it will slice very cleanly, I made the mistake of touching the heel today and it got me good... hasn't even been sharpened yet but is a near zero grind.

Just use that single handle pin.

Thanks Rolf!

Will do on the single pin! There are two more black micarta pins but they are really hard to spot even in hand.

Down Town Knives is sending me some glow/CF pin stock for later use, it sounds super cool!

I almost bought some Sterling Silver pin stock... maybe Argentium Silver as it does not tarnish. The tarnish keeps me away from copper and silver for kitchen knives but I may have to do some for kicks.

Today... glue up!
