Then make yourself one of these, it shaves literally hours of hand sanding, I love mine...

I don t think that I will ever make something like that . . . . but here is another idea for you

people are lazy . . .

 

[Hengelo_77]

Made a small three finger knife for myself about two years ago
<-- it's still my avatar

I was asked if I wanted to sell it and it was my first sale.

Finaly finished an improved 2.0. Feels good to EDC a self made knife again!
The finer work is what I enjoy most, I'll be making more like this.

3mm Niolox with checkered olivewood on 1mm ebony liners and a discrete front pockes sheath.
It is about as long as a pen.

messing around with Ferric Chloride acid etch and stone wash vibratory tumbler. I am getting tired of looking at carbon steel wrong and having it stain/rust.

That's great, Pablo!

Greetings everyone, Just putting the final touches on this one. I struggled with naming the style, it's Persian-esque I suppose but finally realized it looked like a whale tooth. It's in .19" 440C, 9.5" with a 5" blade and 1 7/8" tall with the bevels finished to a satin 1500 grit. The scales are Granadillo with thin black liner and 3/16" brass pins. I think the brass looks real good next to the reddish hardwood. I hope you do too! Comments/critique welcome as always.

Super happy with these two. They need to be sanded and polished still but they are looking good so far.

back into slipjoints and will spend most of October refining my skills with slip joints
this is one I just completed

Just ordered my first big boy grinder, an Ameribrade 2x72 with 2hp/VFD. The next 3 weeks waiting for it are going to be agonizing!

To shorten the waiting time , take a file and make last one hand made knife

Those two are truly spectacular in my opinion. I really love your hollow grinds, I still really struggle with them.

1084 Mini kwaiken with doveltail canvas micarta bolsters. Acid etch, vibratory stone wash. 7/9 oz leather sheath. I am really happy how this is turning out.

 

[bikedave99]

Finished up this hunter/skinner and mailed it off to a friend:


Rigged up my 1x30 with a "2hp" variable speed treadmill motor, sooooo much more torque. Just need to rework the wiring/control box and shroud the motor:


And finally starting assembly on a 2x72 with some skate wheels for mockup:

 

[DanF]

That 1x30 will be very different now!

I love it. I remember it from a previous thread of yours. How long does it take you to get to a clean 800 grit?

Thanks

Mini kwaikens and small cutter. 15N20 for kwaikens, 80Crv2 for the other. The handles on the kwaikens were meant to be traditional bolsters but I eneded up with slabs that were to narrow. To avoid having to grind into steel, I reversed them and was able to barely fit them with a tiny bit of overhang.

Jade G10 is fun because it is translucent and the liner underneath shows through.
