Green Screen Antics....

This really deserves its own post, but Oh Well....

I was requested to make (2) exact chefs knives.
The guy wants to give his best friend a matching knife. They served together in the US Marines together. I tried to make this Their red.

Anyhow, it's funny the added stress that making them the Same brings. it has definitely been a slow build.....I'm probably just past half finished, idk?

So something I've never done before, I bring out the light box to take some pictures of obviously Not done knives ... Yup, doesn't make much sense.

So..... consider this Part One.

Thanks.
What's funny is I was cleaning off one work surface, by swapping them to another.
And I had stacked them....and then said to myself. "Hey, I need a picture of That*

Looked cool on top of one another. Wish I had 10.
 
Started my next project after the redheads.

More of a small, slicer, bushcrafter.....
Not my design, first time making a design of completely Others....
Not settled yet, on handle material.
Vintage crosscut for potential?

62HRC AEB-L
 
Yes I have a problem....
I don't have enough boxes, hooks, and shelves to store all my steel and blanks.

Worse yet is I'm really buying More steel.
I have butt loads of Nitro V and Aeb_l blanks....Alot.

But I'm getting an influx of orders for Chef's knives... I must be doing something right? Idk what though...haha.

So I need steel for around 6-10 more?
But I'm thinking of getting some 14c28n steel.
It's basically NitroV, but tiny different. Problem is shipping is a lot, also I Have to buy more industrial quantities then ...

I think I'm going Really deep, into the deep end....

With this order, I'm adding steel for a graduation present for my daughter, for Next year.
But, the steel sheet is Big. I need I blank, I'll get enough for 4.

Swords anyone???
Red lines, 36" overall length
 
I need to consolidate a couple posts ....
But the chaos is what it's like to be Me.

I'm panic treating a batch this week. It's in the top three biggest knife batches of mine, I think.... maybe.

This is the new Procut I bought the first week available, and AEB-L Chefs knives.

Lots of Fun Stuff. Some is taken, some looking for homes ...
 
Because I haven't ground anything in Many Many Many weeks.....

It feels good taking some practice swings!




 

Rough ground, blending it to a smooth convex.
I'm around .020" edge, Obviously I go thinner....Ha.
It's just better thin.
 
NOT an actual model....
I have a half dozen daggers out for heat treatment..... But I didn't want to wait, and I don't want my hand coordination getting bad, it's been too long away from the grinder.... I don't want to finish orders until I catch a few passes.
-i feel better now.
This is sharp, and I didn't sharpen it yet.....Ha.

Calling it "Play Thing" Made from odds and ends with minor tweaking & Twerking.....
It's not my dagger. But it's a dagger.
