New Kiridashi

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Here is a new style of kiridashi I recently made, it has a rounded butt, a choil and a zero bevel chisel grind. The spine is rounded and textured. It has a relic finish that I did with plum brown barrel finish and bleach.

Thanks! I can do that finish on your knife but it will be a tiny bit different as I have to grind part of it off for the handle and spine, I'll think about the best way to do it.

I really like the finish on this one.

Thanks! It is an old style gun finish and I think it adds a cool look to the knives. I heat the knives up to 275 and paint them with browning, let cool and repeat about 3 times, after that I do a bleach soak or two and maybe more browning steps until I get the look I want... lots of work but looks great and adds some rust protection. Sometimes I skip the bleach, it adds a cool pitted look that I really like but is not for everyone.

I really like that finish too.

Thanks!

If you can make it work that would be really cool! Otherwise I might have to "borrow" the mustard from the fridge. Momma loves it when I run off with the bottle and a knife

I'm already getting some good ideas!

I also need to look for pics of my grapefruit patina'd knives, they are really cool. I love the mustard too, hot white vinager also rocks for a nice etch.
