Knife Eye Candy

blgoode, you mind if i use that handle shape of the knife above the WSK? i really like that alot and think it would go good on alot of blade shapes. maybe make a companion for the WSK im working on that'll never get finished! :) ive got the blank cut from 0-1 right now sitting by the grinder, but im too afraid ill screw up, to pick it up and grind the draw knife section, and the tapering tang. so ive been practicing on some leaf spring WSK blanks that i cut out a long time ago. im trying to get my craftsman belt grinder working so i dont have to use a belt sander and file. since this is a stock removal design, i cant forge in the bevels like i would any other knife, making this is a big leap in my skill level, but i love the WSK too much to give up! maybe ill start grinding on it tommarow.

We better see some pic's buddy when they are all done!!
 
show us pics! Maybe a different shaped handle would look better? We'll coach you! :D
 
blgoode, I've been looking at your knives for a while now, and I am very impressed!!! :cool:

Practicality, simplicity, a great hamon, and wonderfully contoured handles. Bravo!!
 
thanks Andrew. I hope to get some new designs in the works when I get cought up.....cought up....whats that :D

I thank the boards for having access to wonderful information!
 
yes - 0-1 has been the only steel I have used. Looking at trying some 1080 but if I dont get to it it wont kill me :p
