Finished the axe and sold it the same day! :)



Started this filet knife today. From an old saw none the less!




Not the same standards as you guys, but I have fun and my stuff works good.
 
I finished this one up today.

Sweet love the axe and I like that the fillet knife from the saw steel!!
DR...
 
I'm taking a "stab" at a Japanese style knife. The steel was forged from W1 drill rod. I managed a decent hamon on it I do believe.

This one will be a kotanto, traditional take-down style, with Santos rosewood tsuka and saya.

The habaki was a real challenge in and of itself. I'm not sure how it's normally done, but I started with a piece of copper pipe and squished it flat. I then cut it down the middle and made two pieces. I hammered the pieces flat then bent the ends of each. Once I fit up the copper pieces I soldered them together, cleaned them up, then pressure fit them on.







Making some progress:

Larry,

Thanks!

Hey how was the heat up there today? Hit over 100 here in Chino, I can only imagine what it was like in Bakersfield :)
 
Thanks Shane!

This is the last of my antique ivory micarta and thought it would be a nice contrast to the carbon fiber bolster. I installed the stainless pins and then finished up sanding to 1000 grit and flitz

5" kitchen utility, .070" CPM154 at 61 RC, ivory paper micarta. First time working with paper micarta and I love it. Way easier than canvas. The ivory was a little of a pain to keep clean. This is super comfortable in your hand and gets a little more grip when wet.
 
Been a LOOOONG week, finally got some shop time and knocked out a couple. Really like the color of this micarta.
