This knife was sort of a "proof of concept" for me. I forged it as thin as I could, so as to skip grinding bevels and just skip to the sharpening (a technique I've seen Joshua Prince use), and I also made the handle so it is friction fit (influenced by the replaceable handles of Japanese kitchen knives). I really like how it turned out and how relatively simple it was to make, so I definetly think I'll be making more in this style. Hope you guys like it!

Thank you very much!
I've actually been using this one in the kitchen as a small petty chef knife, but now you've got me thinking of ways to turn this into an EDC....

Hey all, it's been a bit since I've posted, but here's a pair I've been working on:




The lighter brown one is already spoken for, but the darker is up for sale. It has a W2 blade with a forced patina, a stainless guard, and a curly maple handle:



The lighter one is very similar, only with a satin finish on the blade and a brass bolster:



both have leather sheaths to go with them



Let me know what you guys think!
