Very cool! One like this is on my short list, I have been working on some custom Bowies for some customers lately. I think I have one more blade to grind before heat treat, I haven't decided it the last one will be an English style Bowie or and American style similar to the Musso Bowie. I have both patterns already, I think I'm leaning toward the Musso.

Just finished this blade, 375 layer Damascus made from 8670 and 15n20 now I just have to pick handle material.

 

[Lorien]

got this finished after many years sitting in a drawer. It'll be picked up tomorrow, so I'll never have to look at it again! It's weird- during the process I get so attached to the knives, but once they're done I can't wait to get them out of my sight and move on to the next one

Sentinel

I think that, perhaps, 'Sentinel' is a silly name. Ironically, it was named by someone who is very serious, (hint: not me😁). This is the only knife, (I did a couple hatchets many years ago) which I rendered digitally, and then had waterjet cut. Of course, it started out as a pencil drawing...

I finished knife number 19 tonight. It's my first two-bladed knife. It's MagnaCut steel, red linen micarta, and brass all around. It's a real pleasure to hold and handle.

That looks great, what type of handle material is that?

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

Mustard g10,I got the idea from you!

Been busy working on JS submission knives. It's slow and tedious, honestly.

Also been doing marketing stuff and pre-orders for my production run with White River Knife and Tool. It's good to have a BIL who does videos for his day job.

Small detour from my own blades. This blade has been around for more than a decade, so it was time to finish.

Well, F’d that one. The chaos in my house ate me up and I left it in the etch waaaayyyy too long. Best I can think of is to go back to 400 and try and flatten it out, then do 600 again and re-etch.

Bummer man!!
Yeah, take it back to zero and etch again, looks like you've got some great activity there. What steel are you using?

 

[Jason Fry]

W2 on that one.

Well , now it looks like a knife .The handle is almost shaped , I can glue it now . In the middle I will use mosaic pin and the other two stainless steel . I think it will look better that way than all three mosaic , what do you think ?
BTW , how you cut mosaic pins ? Cutting disk on Dremel would work or i will melt epoxy or whatever is inside pin ? I have no room for mistake , 15 cm length is all I have ..............

Hacksaw, takes a couple seconds. Sometimes simple is better!

Clean work! Your big wheel grinder? Yeah, hacksaw for me as well, also keep in mind that rough grit or cut can mush your pattern a bit in the pin, leave space to refine.

First hollow that I pulled through, 12" wheel on 2.5 mm M2. Open for opionions and critic. I cut out 3 same patterns and want to try out a ffg, 12" wheel and 36" radius grind.
