:D Latest news on the new kitchen knife lineup... looking good!


4000 grit finish on the edge! high finish on the blade for food release and ease of upkeep







Glued up! I have over a week into these four (60+ hours so far) and they are looking like some of my best work yet!






Leatherwork experiment with new leather dyes! looks even better in person! Sara's work

Damn....that's a true mirror finish, such a beauty! Fantastic job, Daniel! :eek::thumbup:

The leather work looks awesome as well, is that a bracelet?
 
She's doing some fantastic leatherworking dude. A real knack for it!

Oh. Your knives are good too :P

It's blinging! Tantos are a real fun thing for me, there are so many ways I can take them. This is a dress Kwaiken! lol

Same with the kitchen knives, mirror and high satin finishes for food release and ease of maintenance... water just beads up and runs off as the finish is so smooth.

62RC and Ironwood, black pins on the tanto, thin edge and tall grind :eek:


Sara just put a lot into her leatherwork setup, new tools thicker nicer leather, etc... she is going to get a membership here and sell her leatherwork. Belts, etc...

Yes it's a bracelet, I have a matching belt but with an antiqued finish. She will make more of those too! we are investing in smaller snaps...

look out for tattoo and Japanese inspired new-school leatherwork designs!

That's what I'm saying! :D
 
Digging the leather stuff! Gonna need me a nice belt or something. Great work Sara!
 
This is getting to be a fantastic collaboration between you and Mrs. Fairly. I like it!
 
Hmmn, must be some truth to that saying, "Behind every good man there is a great woman" . . . . :thumbup:
Of course, I hear that constantly around my, uh, "our" home . . . . ;)
Daniel, definitely post more of Sara's work when she gets up and running . . . oh yeah, feel free to post some of your knives too . . . . :D
Great work from both of you . . . .
Be safe.
 
Thanks from both of us! :D

I have a busy week planned! ...Keep slowly getting there on a few folders, finish the Kogotanas, Kukrichete and the newer batch above!

The kitchen knives are getting out there and all of a sudden I'm getting tons of requests for them! :D I need to make about 100 folders to catch up also. :D
