  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

These are all for me to use in my own kitchen, so not finished perfectly everywhere. AEBL 62HRC. Handles are K&G stabilised wood, curly ash and spalted silver maple, which I harvested myself, and the folk here recommended I get some dyed. Handles all shaped on the belt grinder, which was a first for me, I usually spend about 3 hours each with files. These went much faster. The smallest one has an s-grind (10" wheel and a lot of hand blending), just to see what it was like. Cuts like crazy.

Any advice for removing tung oil from a blade without using abrasives? :rolleyes:
Apparently some got into the paper towel i had around the blade, and stuck it to the blade. I'm currently soaking it in some thinners, and worst case i can use some Tripoli powder
 
thanks, i decided to polish it off and do another etch. that seems to have worked. I'll have to be more cautious next time with the handle
