...like a machine! :D


Here's my chop saw job... pretty bad! I chop then grind these kitchen knives to profile... profiled, sanded, deburred, drilled and chamfered ones in background...







Hollowed out tangs... doesn't look like much! ..this took most of my morning and while not seen it makes a difference in the hand. I don't care if it can be seen, buyers want a knife that performs.

...That is what I am all about, going the extra mile to make my knives the very best.







Rough ground tanto... nasty grind with .093" 52100 steel stock,

 
Daniel when is the steel going to be ready did you learn how to forge magical samurai sword i herd they sharpest then all other steel can you take time to confirm.
 
Perfection as usual. Sounds like a good day at work dude!
Thanks!

Awesome knives ! I dig the welders cap too.
...my tribute to Loveless.

Very nice, I like that Kwaiken looking blade a lot!
I want to keep it! So slicey...

Cool!
Who gets the tanto?
Ninjas

Looking great, as usual! Sent you an e-mail, Daniel.

:D Thanks! I must check those... days behind.

Totally Skyrim dude!

My steal is only the finest folded samurai stele made with skills no one posses today 4 making real samurai knifeves that can chop machine gun, anvils, bricks in half with never sharpening.
 
My wife says I'm a ninja in my own mind. She says I can disappear in a fraction of a second from her side when I'm forced to go "shopping" with her and not be found anywhere. I'm a guy, I know when and how to disappear when the makeup isle comes looming in the distance and magically re-appear in the man toy section of the store, stealthy avoiding her steely eyes as she's trying to track me.:emot-yarr: Yeah, I couldn't find a ninja emoticon!

So gimme the tanto. It's for the good of all ninjas! And pissed off wives!:D
