Seeing as I haven't actually made a knife in WAAAAY too long, it's a pretty big deal that I'm making myself a new EDC.

I got the blade forged out and profiled today and gave it a quick test etch to see what I had. This is my first Turkish twist billet ever and so far I'm pretty happy.

I'll post more once I get this one closer, but I wanted to give you guys a little teaser... :)

You make knives? :confused: :D Just kidding...very sweet looking! Can't wait to see the rest!!!
 
Look forward to seeing it! I've been hit and miss on shop time, trying to finish my sword and a couple of other little pieces. See ya' there!
 
That's horrible!:eek: Luckily you only live one state away from me so sending it on over to Ohio for proper burial won't cost you much shipping!:D
How'd you make out with your tapered tang? Is this it?

Nope, the tapered tang is another one. Because of the Turkish pattern, I was able to grind this one flat first so I don't have that worry here ;)

Thanks for the kind words folks. As I said, this was my first attempt at a Turkish twist, and while the overall yield was less than I had hoped for, the "good bit" turned out pretty well. I'm currently debating handle material for this one. It may be Mammoth (another first for me), or maybe G-Bone (this one is for me, I don't care what the collectors think :p ).

There will be more on this as I get it done. I'm trying to have it done in time for Ashokan...we'll see...

Looking good, I have got to get my shop finished and get back to work.

Now hurry up and finish it so we can see the final product!:D
