Fell a bit behind on posting lately!

6 Nitro V Tuna Pokers with Xl sized guards, Blue or Cool Grey AmeraGrip handles:

2 more rectangles! Magnacut Shechita, 1/16" thick stock, 18 x 2" on the big one and 6 x 1.5" on the smaller one:

Damascus blade for my mom and DayGlo Ameragrip, which looks green due to the rubber behind it:

Pink Ameragrip and Damascus blade for my wife, Pink/Red/White Camo G10 guard:

Finished my Puddles low layer damascus blade finally:

And the last 2 blades out of my first 96 layer billet, both for my cousins husband!

4" reverse tango, Black/Copper G10 guard, orange spacer and Curly Quilted Maple handle. Still need to do the final handle/blade fitting and stuff and keep adding layers of finish to it. This is after a quick wipe of Tung Oil. It has about 7 more coats on it now:

Going to match this longer slicer:

This is 16" OAL, so I will probably end up with an 11 or 12" blade from the first billet and a handle from the remainder of the same block of wood, same style/colors, so he has a matched set. It wouldn't fit into my kiln for the HT, so I used that as my excuse to build my own HT oven!

Just finished this set that’s being donated for a fund raiser’s silent auction. I coach high school girls lacrosse and every fall there is an event to help finance the school’s athletic programs. This year I’m donating these kitchen knives. Living in Ohio, you can’t go wrong with anything Scarlet and Gray.
Blades: 14C28N heat treated by Bos to ~ 62.
Handles: Dymalux AppleJack epoxied with West GFlex and stainless pins.

Slipjoint nr.18. I enjoy making these and decided to have some fun with my old pantograph, just because I can.
4 thou behind the edge makes it cut like a laser!
RWL34, olivewood and ebony.

Here's my latest "westernized" version of a gaucho blade in 52100 steel, leather and elk with G10 and copper spacers. It's about 11 1/4" overall.

Very appealing knife, sir!

Anyone else having difficulty sourcing CPM10V flat bar?

Storm grinding. Walkabouts and a Persian in CPM 4V.

I found a gunsmithing shop right next to where I work that has a Rockwell hardness tester and was willing to test a few knives for me. Super handy timing after getting my own heat treat oven finally earlier this year, so now I can get a little confidence boost by seeing exactly how my heat treating is turning out, instead of just getting a ballpark with hardness files!

 

[Michael Black]

Also finished this one up yesterday. First time trying this sort of heirloom fit with alignment pins. Super finicky but it makes a really cool finished handle IMO.

 

[D Bloch]

Nakiri with Wa handle that needs some final sanding, really like the olive part of this handle

 

[Hengelo_77]

Just enjoying myself
