Steam Mill Hollow Knife Works

Brilliant!! And no wood can beat Missouri black walnut, that stuff is amazing. Glad you still had that cleaver!!
 
I love everything about these/this, brilliant idea! As others have said, I also love the logo. Love the profiles, grinds and the working finishes you're giving them. Beautiful handle material choice as well. Can't wait to see more!

Great to see SMH knives revived. :thumbup: I got to know Don and his family 25-years ago when I would take buddies that were in visiting during wild turkey and whitetail deer seasons, over to the Hanson's SMH knife shop to pick up some great hunting knives. Don, David and their father, Papa Don, always had an amazing selection of folders and fixed blades to choose from.

Great idea to start with some larger knives. It will be awesome to get these out in the field and in the kitchen for customer use. I love my first one!

Your logo rocks. :cool:

Don,

Cleaver already received. As you can tell from the second image, I already knew where it would be placed and where it would be used. Sorry for the poor quality image, taken at 1/4 second.

I like everything about this concept - your family endeavor - cool logo, recycling steel - and of course, the great product. Really love the cleaver! :thumbup:

X2..wow the chatoyance(spelling) on that walnut is AWESOME!
 
I guess you could say "It's a family tradition". And traditional knife making too. I like to see the contemporary DH's but the traditional stuff is way cool. Has an old timey charm to it. Makes you conger up images of old farts sitting around an old pot belly stove, telling lies and spittin' snoose at spittoons. Nice to see a family doing things together too.

Really like these knives.

I have two questions for you. Would you say most old saw mill blades are L6? I have one I used and when etched it appears to be like Damascus, could it be Shear Steel?

Regards

Steve, most old saw blades are not L6. Many are a simple 1070-1080 with or without nickel as an alloy. 8670 is also a very popular saw steel that has seen a lot of use.

Some of the very old saw blades were made from shear steel and do have a damascus like pattern. But I've seen wootz like patterns in more modern blades. So it's hard to tell.

Thanks.
 
And they have just about the most beautiful wood in the world right there at their disposal. I predict an outflow of work that will create a backlog of large dimension. I already want one of those recurves.
 
Thank you Sir, very interesting!

Hope you will continue to post those knives as you all finish them!
