Another gyuto in the works. It's O1, 2 mm finished to 2500 grit and polished.

It's not dirty, it's the treetops. [emoji12]

I just wanted to share a few of my last two neckers for a while I feel like I have been making way to many of these in the last six months but I should be moving onto some new things. I got a bunch of new steels and new designs to get working on when I get the time. All the same, here they are, classic Carter Neckers:

I would love to know which one you guys like better?

It is impossible to choose Daniel. Both beauties!
 
Been a busy weekend for me. This is the most knives I've handled and finished at one time.

Kiritsuke in 1095 and Curly Black Mesquite - Still have to glue it up and put the edge on. Blade was etched in hot vinegar.
 
I love mine Brock.


I've been grinding like a fool. Want to send a batch out to heat treat to save myself some time so trying to get enough blades ready to make it worth the cost.

The hardening lines remind me of Tai Goo's "rainbow" quenched pieces. Well done.

Thanks Rick!

I forged and HT'd the blade in Don Carlos Andrade's shop - Don studied under Tai and the rainbow quench was a direct nod to his teachings.

Ah... makes sense... Don is a good guy. Tai and I used to talk a lot before he left BF. Maybe I'll shoot him an email to see what he's been up to.
