One more Done

[forgedblades]

Just finished this one today. It's 8 3/4" total with a 4 1/2" hand sanded blade made from 154cm. Handle is rosewood burl. Let me know what you think

Andy question for you, this is unstabilized redwood I sanded it to 1000 grit then just soaked it with mineral oil. Is this the right way to finish it? how would you do it? And how could I finish it to make the contrast pop better?

The pics don't show very well, but here we go.

I love the shape of that one! Really lovely.

 

[forgedblades]

Thanks chainring. How are you coming along with your kmg?

 

[chainring]

Ha! Got all the parts, just need more time! Tinkered today with making a scandi-grind jig like Andy described elsewhere. Looking forward to spending some quality time with it.

Nice lines, I like that dropped edge too.

 

[Fletcher Knives]

Looking great bro. Are you selling yet? You could be makin some moolah.

 

[forgedblades]

Not yet, I don't think its fair to sell them with no makers mark. I will sell them (Hopefully) after I find a way to etch them.

 

[Fiddleback]

They're definitely good enough to sell though. I like them a LOT. You can build an etching machine for less than $100, and buy stensils from TUS Tech. Easy peasy.

Very clean lines. Good looking knife.

 

[Fletcher Knives]

As soon as you're ready to sell them, let me know. I'll gather the funds and get one from you. These are some very clean knives.

 

[forgedblades]

Dylside, maybe we can work on a exchange. I really like your Bush Operator.

Wow, I can't decide which I like better!
