Nice cabinet.

Make another disc that is flat. I believe it will add to your many skills that you already have

[PEU]

Thanks Frank, why the need for both?

[Frank Niro]

Well, if you want to make things flat, I need that a lot for the folders I make, it sure helps especially if like me you don't have a surface grinder.

[Lo/Rez]

Good to get another off the bench

This is a nice knife.

 

[stezann]

yes for real flats is needed a flat disk. I'm talking about flat mating surfaces especially. For "flat" bevels, the super-slight concave flats the tapered disk places it's almost unnoticeable.

 

[PEU]

Small "fusion" Santoku, fusion because it has western grind and handle. 130mm (5.1") blade lenght. Handle and liners in paper micarta

[Salem Straub]

Cool!

This cocobolo is turning darker and I like it

 

[Jesse Latham]

I'm trying to get some knives ready for the OKCA show in Eugene. Last week I started with 28 in various stages. 3 are finished. This is one. Jess

 

[AVigil]

This is a nice knife.

Thanks, I have worked on the design for awhile and the ergonomics works well in real world use.

 

[JCaswell]

Paul- that looks great! I like the shape of the scale myself...

Here's what I've been doing...

Superb, Nick!

7.5 overall. 4 inch blade. CPM-154 @ 61. Natural g10 over blue liners with black micarta pins. First time working with g10 on a belt grinder and WOW is it so much easier than micarta. Doesn't burn near as easy, grinds easier, and doesn't clog the belts. Loving the natural over a liner, definitely going to be exploring this more in depth.

Hardened, the interesting part is the other blade, first time I use this steel, Uddeholm Vanadis 4 Extra, after hardening it measured 67RC still need to finish the tempering for the final reading. Also first finished knife with a hollow grind, the sheet was 5mm (3/16ish) and a flat bevel would be inadecuate IMHO, it came out really well. This one will be my new personal knife, until someone (again) put enough money on the table

I have a few pieces on the go at the moment.

This is a chef's knife, now almost done.


And, this is the blade collar...:


....and, soon to be, guard for another piece. This is a chunk of wrought iron forged down from a large anchor chain link.

Another one off the bench. It was slated for the show but presold. AEB-L with Koa Jess

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

Christodart, that is cool!

Nice work everyone!!!


CPM-3V Kwaikens in progress...

Here's one for scales... I garnet blast the tang for best epoxy adhesion. The 3V is so wear resistant i had to crank up my blast pressure and time considerably.







Time for glue up! 2 acid washed and one in satin.




Prepping and glueing up stingray skin... this stuff is hard to cut! These get wraps next.




Just wrapped and almost ready for glue up. I have 9 knives curing now!

 

[North Arm Knives]

Finishing up a big batch of paring knives for our show this weekend! Also doing a few chef's knives shown in a sub zero quench. We had some dry ice left over so I had some fun with it at home (third photo)

Loving the natural over a liner, definitely going to be exploring this more in depth.

I love how that turned out. I was wondering what putting an opaque color liner behind some of that translucent phenolic sheet would look like.

Thanks for giving me more reasons to want a larger compressor & blast cabinet! Ugh, not enough room in my garage but I may have to MAKE room....need to get some knives built & sold to fund it though....I've been wanting a cabinet for preparing parts for Duracoat coating, more for my gun hobby than knives, but seeing that I could also Duracoat knives, and use it for a good surface prep for scale adhesives, I may have to move a compressor & cabinet up on my list!
