Multi Knife Work in Progress

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

I just finished heat treating the last of these knives yesterday, I'll take a few photos along the way and certainly at the finish!

The three on the left are from .262 5160 stock. The other three are O1, 3/32 on the small one and 5/32 on the other two. They range from 5.25 to 11.25 inches.

The fileworked knife on the top right is the first knife I have ever ground. I ground it back in August with a bench grinder and maybe a craftsman 4x36. I have since finished 1 titanium tanto and am finishing up another tanto out of O1 today, it is not the first I have ground but will be my first official heat treated sole authorship "real" knife. So far I have ground about 30 knives and am now going to slowly start getting them completely finished!

I love the little one in the upper right corner:thumbup: More pics as they progress!

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Thanks Mark I'll keep the pics coming!

Jonny, I'm glad you like it! I just got most of the post heat treat grind done on it tonight, just got in from working on it.

All three of the O1 knives are ground and the kiradashi is finished so more photos are on the way!

Nice! The one in the center is interesting. Are you going to wrap the kiridashi?

Thanks, that means a lot. I'm a big fan of yours.

I wrapped the kiridashi today and I'm letting the glue cure right now. I did a paracord wrap over red leather, it came out pretty nice I think. I've wanted to use this red leather forever, it looks like it should be on ferrari seats.

I like the Fat bellied larger knife on the left and the deeper saber grind square knife.

Thanks! Greatly appreciated!

The wrap sounds like it will look great. I really like hi-contrast wraps like that.

Kiridashi

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

I worked on these today. The grinds on the two bigger ones still need a little work.

The kiridashi turned out really nice. It's one of my favorite blade styles.

Thanks!

Here are some progress pics, I've been working on this one quite a lot in the last few days.

The scales aren't glued on yet but they are ready to go!

1/4" 5160, MCAM G10 Scales...

I got it finished! I decided to buff off the patina; you gotta make it bling, right!

Here is another one almost done. I cleaned up the chamfered tube holes and renaissance waxed it after the photo, it looks great. This is my first tapered tang, the tapering gave it a great balanced feel without drilling up the handle.

Cool, I'm working on the sheath for it right now with the same red leather over some thicker stuff. I'm going to make a few of them with different wraps, I got some rayskin the other day too...

Daizee,
Thanks, the far right one is going to be my new edc, it was the first knife I ever ground. I still need to put the handle on it, it will be blue G10 with a black liner.
