My wife put the pizza cutter that I made for her recently to work this evening. This particular pizza had thick toppings, so it would have helped if I made the blade a tad taller.

Did the metal plate get cut?
Or did that effect the blade?
 
I dug through the scrap bin at the local woodworking shop yesterday after work looking for knife handle stuff. The top pic is what I found after I got it all cut into slabs. It only cost me about $9 or $10. Not sure what kind of wood the bottom middle is between the marble wood and walnut. Might be iron wood but I can’t place it. The bottom pic is some Bocote I bought and cut and a dyed stabilized piece I ordered but it’s not as orange as I’d hoped.42ECAE3E-D3F6-4DE4-BAA4-F89EEF66C9F4.jpegF50B6381-6607-496A-84B6-130D20F1BE99.jpeg

Out of the shops today but got some cool photos of this new “Shanto” model I finished up while out on a hike. This one is made from apex ultra and I’m keeping it as a test knife and cause I haven’t made myself a knife in a few years. Shanto is a combination of multiple name ideas, Short tanto, tanto, shunt because it looks surgical, and ultimately combined to Shanto which also happens to be the Japanese word for shunt.

Thats pretty cool that you could finish a knife while you were out hiking 😊
 
Finally got some time in the shop!

80CRV2 on the top, tiny O-1 paring knife on the bottom. Both forged out and HT'd in the forge and will be tested and snapped to check grain structure!

Got a few more to add, but getting a batch ready to go to heat treating! Wide variety of steels: S90V, CPM Cruwear, MagnaCut, Nitro V, and AEB-L:

Finally got to finish this gyuto! I got the barstock from Randy Haas a while back, 245mm cutting edge, 54mm tall, 207 grams. S grind; top 2/3 of the blade is hollow ground with a 36" radius platen, bottom 1/3 is convexed:

I start my shallow hollow just past the choil, so it doesn't show in a choil shot, but it's there!

Handle is Corian ferrule, black g10 spacer and stabilized Golden Curly Acacia from Greenberg Woods!
