A couple recent pieces in O1, for those of you not following me on IG already. It's getting hard to keep up with multiple non-integrated platforms...:

Very slick lines, daizee.

Over the top graceful knives. Your work has always been the Ideal of design and execution to strive for.

Found these in the garage yesterday, almost forgot I had them. Carbon V and 1095 blanks from when the Camillus factory shutdown years ago.

 

[GeofS]

Looks like you have something very cool to occupy your free time.

 

[daizee]

WOW.
Are any of them already hardened? Looks like only two are already ground.
What are you planning...?

 

[BRab]

I think they are all hardened, if I remember correctly. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, never messed with stick tangs before. Feels like a waste letting them sit all these years.

 

[1066vik]

those tangs work great with birch bark or leather washers.
that pile of 18 looks like a fun camp knife size -- are they recon scout blanks?

 

[BRab]

They are actually bayonet blanks, although the blade should be wide enough for a single edge design

Finishing up my 5.75" fighter blade. So far I have a 600x satin finish. The plan is to go up to an 800x satin finish. The guard will be German Silver and the handle cocobolo or walnut. I tried a tapered ricasso because my original grinding attempt a few years ago was a disaster. I think it looks good, but if anyone has a differing opinion, please fire away.(see photo 3) The swedge will be ground this week. Photo 4 is the 3.75" Wharncliffe blade nearing completion.
