Looks good!
I'd kill to learn to make my own knives.
Will it have any belly at all when you are done?
Edit: after looking at the pic again I'm guessing it won't. Interesting
I'm a chef so I obsess over kitchen knives the most.
Especially Japanese kitchen knives.
What is .062" in mm?
Ummmm, is it for sale?

That thing looks wicked! I am working on 3 ai-debas myself right now. Do you like to go with a little higher rc when you do kitchen knives?
I know what you are saying! I only use 01 and I have tried to leave the RC above 60 a couple times and the steel doesn't seem to want to grind off! I got tired of it now I just shoot for 59 RC. Seems any higher and it takes so long and eats so many belts its not worth it![]()
Daniel,
that looks awesome ! can't wait to see it
finished ! what are you thinking about as
far as handle slabs ? ... hmmm maybe
some nice ironwood or redwood or maybe
some bias cut natural canvas micarta
the nice look of wood without the the cons
such as warping moving and so on and all
the benefits of micarta ! just some suggestions !
