Some recent work

Hitachi white 1 core and gokunantetsu cladding

CPM cru wear

52100 core and suminagashi cladding forge welding

I don’t have a power hammer or a hydraulic press, but the Rolling Mill is a huge help

The blade on the far left, I did a test, forge hardening, quenched in water. Heat treated from a pearlite condition.

I think the nicest gyuto I’ve turned out yet. .079” 14c28n at 63 and partial tang construction. Chilly shaping the handle this morning in my -5 (f) degree shop.

Just finished of this slipjoint. My first time making a slippy in antler. I love it, but God does it stink

That looks very nice! Great piece of antler, too. Where’d you get that one?

Chef's utility knife straight out of the tempering oven and off the grinder. I'm still pretty new to knife making, and I think this is my 12th knife overall, and my 3rd heat treating myself using a HotShot oven. I've been determined to free grind my bevels, even though I built a really nice bevel jig. These are by far the cleanest and thinnest bevels I've been able to achieve. For the finish I used all four Scotchbrite grits. 1084 and waiting on some Micarta for the scales

Anyone else got a grinding bucket that looks like this at the moment?

 

[Taz]

Yup!! I am doing some cleaning/shop re arranging, making fixtures, etc to avoid the frozen slurry bucket!

Not quite; mines frozen solid! And so are my fingers after handling cold metal for a few minutes ...

 

[Lorien]

never gone so deep on steel before. But 15% off on steel made by a reputable but beleaguered manufacturer, before Orange Julius' tariff war begins made the investment a no brainer. Maybe a couple years worth, we'll see.

Cold weather grinding gotta love it.

Cold weather grinding gotta love it.

A few years ago I told myself to do all the forging and handsanding during winter, and the grinding during summer. Never was able to stick to that idea sadly, as it seems that each year after that the opposite comes true in the end, for some reason
