Another pair of dashies from 1084

[Charlie Mike]

It must be dashi season or maybe something is in the air. I'm making these from 1084 carbon steel. I layed out the design so I could utilize as much as possible from a 9"x1.5 bar. Then I layed them together and drilled 3 3/16" holes. One hole is for the lanyard/fob and the other 2 are for a nail to be peened ovet thus joining the 2 knives. This is where I'm at approx 5 hours into it...

CM, what are you fastening them together for? Double barrel Dashi????

That's only for the profiling. It reduces my work.

Looks good so far.

Glad to see that you ordered some steel.

Damn Charlie! Knowing you I thought there was something more exciting going on than just profiling!

I'll punch the pins and grind em tomorrow.
