Is that ivory paper micarta on the triplets? I'm realizing that I really like the look of any knife I see with a similar looking material. Might have to try it myself some time. All your knives are beautiful, but I find those three especially sexy.

Adding onto that question, is that natural canvas micarta pins in the first knife? And also, amazing work.

Thanks guys! Glad you like them.

Brock's funky grinding technique. This is what you get when you learn to grind from youtube and Bladeforums.

Piddling around having a go at my third leather sheath. Having some fun trying out some carving/tooling on this one. Waiting on a delivery from Tandy so I can try antiquing on it.

Jealous of the big wheel!

Makes me want to do a little tooling or something as well!

Nice, I'm looking into building a hammer. A little less costly as a press.

First time working with G10 but I like the way it turned out. I stopped at 150 grit which felt about right to me.

Well, N Natlek if I can get this fully figured out, I’ll make you one. Just finished doing the antique. I didn’t get the results I wanted. I don’t believe I made my lines deep enough with the stylus, so the antique just wiped right back out when I wiped it off the high surfaces. The final look I guess isn’t horrible, but not what I intended. I did try putting leather sheen on the borders and images as a resist while leaving the background without to get a two tone. That part seemed to work. It was died Spanish Brown prior to antiquing. It will still need another coat of sheen over the entire thing once the antique dries.

Finally got around to doing that turkish twist thing. Only 3 bars, and far from perfect but really happy with how it's turning out for my first try at anything other than random pattern damascus.

Built a new kydex press, after snapping the old one in half. I think 1/4" steel plate will not have that issue, and give me a better press as well. View attachment 840784 View attachment 840785 View attachment 840786

Where do you source the foam for the Kydex press?

Thanks for the picture.

Here is one spot I'm sure there are more.

Just finished this Gyuto 210mm in 3mm 14C28N at 62 HRC with cryo treatment (yay for the new dewar!). It's ground slightly convex and finished to 400 grit. The handle is Micarta with G10 liners and finished to 800 grit and polished. It's sharpened convexed at 15 DPS.

This one's for a family member's birthday in a couple of weeks. I love to gift these to family and friends who have never experienced a really sharp kitchen knife that stay sharp for more than a sallad. That may actually be my new slogan.

 

[Kevin McGovern]

I believe it was Texas knife supply, but it's been a few years. I reused the foam from my broken press.

Where do you source the foam for the Kydex press?

Thanks for the picture.

I got the scales to the finished grit today and applying tung oil (except for the black palm-it's hand polished)>
