Me to .............
I don t trust epoxy on metal , pins are peened ...........I have to work on handle and guard to finish it but it is almost finished .Strong tip and spine with thin edge would work , I think ...........finish on bevels is 40 grit
That little black around big pin is glue , not burned ..I cut pins with handsaw

Wait, were you saying I crack you up, too?

or maybe you crack yourself up...

That belt was 40 grit maybe 2 years ago
Nice knife!

Testing my patience fitting up some textured G10. Did it occur to you, you cannot sand down pins after gluing them

 

[FredyCro]

I couldn't get a nice machine finish on the hollow and the transition so had to blend everything in by hand sanding. Left hand side has no hollow. 500 grit finish with some #20 diamond paste.

Adjusted the profiles and prepped everything for HT tomorrow.

thought it was a while since i had shared something
a chefs knife from 26c3, with handle and matching saya made from mystery eucalypt (probably blackbutt) and black micarta. the board was too thin to make it with a typical technique, so i did a frame handle using the micarta. The wood has a gum line in it, which i cleaned out and filled with bronze powder and superglue (i think this will hold up, but part of this is testing that)

Got another ready for heat treat, 9 1/2" oal, 5 1/4" blade, 5/32", D2, flat grind.
A new design patterned after a cheap kitchen knife I like the feel of.
Kind of a bird and trout/mini fighter combo

With a bit thinner stock that would make a great field boning knife

Accidental Auto Hamon, Shame about the spot by the tip! W2 is interesting stuff.
Playing with a more agressive convex grind on this one, interesting to see if it helps food release at all.

I agree, maybe out of AEB-L as well.

 

[Stromberg Knives]

Just finished a custom order (a birthday present from mother to son). A Santoku 180/50 in 14C28N with a black/white theme. It's 3 mm at the heel and tapers to the tip, the bevel is flat grind and then convexed towards the edge.

Very Nice Work!

Not my shop, not even technically my friends shop, but he subs some space in there.

But this right here is the dream machine. A Nazel 3B (300#) made in Philadelphia at the turn of the last century - it was supposedly resurrected from a locomotive factory.

Growing up along Philadelphia's "Main Line" - I feel a personal connection to this hammer, and I'm lucky to have used it once or twice. (even if Im all the way out in CA)

H HSC /// You can see half the sawyer anvil I was talking about right behind me in the first pic - (i know you got another one)
