Eight Feet of Steel

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

I used a 4' bar of .25" 5160 and another 4' of .093" 52100 for these. I'm ready to heat treat! I'm staying busy while waiting for folder parts.


I promise the grind lines will be better than the ones I drew on the larger one!




"Kiritsukegata Takobiki" meaning sword tipped octopus knife (octopus is tako; biki is pull (I think) meaning for draw slicing octopus)
It will work equally as well on beef or chicken!



Pikal?

Pikal? NO! That is one of my all time favorite skinner shapes, the trailing point!

Good to see you putting that grinder to good use!

I was hoping for input, thanks! I debate it... pikal... skinner? I'm not sure if it would be a true pikal with the upswept style...

I just quenched the 52100 ones a moment ago after some normalization cycles, 5160 is up next!

Biki does indeed mean to pull I believe, though there are several others as well. Precisely which one is used depends on the context it's being used in.

Thanks! I really enjoy learning the meanings of the different Japanese knife terms... cool stuff!

Much appreciated!


These are in the kiln now for a second temper cycle! I have both kilns (and my BBQ ) going, one for each steel. 385F for 5160 and 425F for 52100...
