I hope everyone is having a great week! Here's some of my recent work, please enjoy the pics! :D


Coke Bottle Handle, Tapered Tang... .25" thick Acidwashed S7 steel and Ghost Carbon Fiber

Swoosh... (grind) :D





















Carbide Edge Friction Folder - 6al4v Titanium all around with a 72 RC Tungsten Carbide Edge to do the cutting.







 
Kamisori Style Kitchen Utility Run!




This is at 80 grit... they are much thinner now! Hollow main grind and convex reverse...



Lots of grinding and sanding later... hand rubbed to 800 grit. I still need to do more work on everything grind wise but the main grinds are looking good!



Burn in the ferrule the rest of the way! This went even better than I had hoped for. I'm testing for fit in this pic.



Parts! Silver Twill spacer is also now ready to go.




Almost time for glue-up.








And last... Drop Point RF2 Framelock!

 
Really cool variety there Daniel. I was a little let down that the was no photo of the completed kamisori. It's obviously going to be badass!

Much appreciated David!
 
Good god those are all gorgeous! Even the ones that are styles I don't normally like (coke bottle handle and friction folder) were absolutely droolworthy.

Does the yanagiba have a urasaki?

No Urasuki grind and no urasaki either! :D

I generally do the Ura on knives that traditionally have one but I wanted this to be a bit different for those who like a more straightforward geometry.

I checked out your site and have to say, nice work on the knives! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks - those Ti friction folders are soooo sweet. Every time I see them posted I have to look a few times.
