About finished with whatever this. I call it the Jabberwock. I just need to sharpen it and touch up a scratch or two in the finish. I really have no idea why I made it but it was fun. It’s a bit streaky looking because I drenched it in WD-40 before the pictures.

This one was profiled as a clip and I just felt unmoved. I think after HT, I will waterfall those plunges away and taper the tang.
This one should end up being pretty nice, If I do not get ahead of myself.

Recently gifted to a friend.

bike4fun919 OpbunchKnives I think the provenance for the wood in that handle is pretty cool, opaul! Nice piece! Great gift.

Finished this one minus sharpening and final touch up. It’s a basic utility knife in W2. I made the handle to fit a smaller hand than mine. I’ll take more photos when it’s not pouring rain outside.

After a several year break, this is the latest of 3 fixed blades that were started before the break and finished recently. Feels like starting over in some ways.

Lambfoot in A2 and stabilized burl. Hand rubbed to 800grit on blade, engraved with diamond scratch bit, hand rubbed to 2000grit on scale, wax matte finish

I've been having repeated issues with gaps at the spine. I think it is the way I am putting liners on disc sander. Going to only touch it on the disc after initial spot welding and stick to paper on flat surface.

video of walk and talk here. watch to the end to see phone fall. Really liking the snappiness of the A2

You should learn how to cast in resin... That could make some cool scales

I have my work cutout for me for the next (many) months.
2 bowie challange blades, 2 simple fulltang knives, 6 gyuto blades, 2 folders. Unfortunately the gyuto blades are only hardened to 60 HRC (I asked the facility for 62 - it's AEB-L).

60 Hrc AEB-L is not a bad thing

Carbide platen from RD_knives . Good bye to pulling pyroglass pieces from my eye bulbs, and wonky grinds too!

60 Hrc AEB-L is not a bad thing

Not saying it's bad, but maybe suboptimal - the internet told me to go for 62 or 63 as ideal... Also, the bigger the number, the higher the sale price (jk).

 

[Scaniaman]

I totally see your point. Just wanted to say that AEB-L at 60 kan make a great performing knife

 

[FredyCro]

Yeah, I was also dissapointed about 59-60 HRC of the AEBL gyuto I had HTed externally, but after 3 years of almost daily use I can't complain. Sharpens great, very good edge stability even with very thin BTE and very reasonable edge retention.

Started to make larger cleavers.
Roughly profiled and wire brushed, went to vinegar bath.
