Beckerhead Knife Making and Modification Thread

[Crag the Brewer]

even better -- aluminum box: 1/4" wall thickness and plate welded to the ends.



that handle is a lot sturdier than you may realize -- it's a chunk of well seasoned black oak I ripped and shaped, and could use it as a chin-up bar, if I could do a chin-up.



when I brought it into the brewery, the head brewer asked if I brought him a watermelon, too.

Brewers have a sophisticated sense of humor....

Nice! I think you should upgrade your membership level to knife maker, and start selling these fine looking blades.

Thanks for the kind thoughts Warrior and Xr6x, but I'm no pro. Thanks to some of the craftsmen here on bladeforums and Nordiska Knivar I have been able to "sharpen" my skills.

They look as good, and better than some I've seen for sale.

Yeah, Hawk, your work looks good enough to sell FOR SURE.
Lost of hobbiest makers selling here, and many far below your quality.
I mean... it would have to give you pleasure to do it, but I'm sure you'd have takers. At some point they really do start to accumulate around the house.

Incredible work, hawkhead .

 

[hawkhead]

Thank you Warrior, daizee and Geofs for your encouragement.

honing steel?

yep!
empty spot in my knife block once I moved the Henckels to their own block to make room. Scrap of 1084 and white oak.
