I haven't ever done a handle like this before and just thinking about it was daunting. So, I just started getting after it and here's where she's at;

While I've done a good handful of knives using a ferrule, this is the first framed handle one. This approach simplifies some things while complicating others- such is life!

The frame and ferrule are 6Al4V titanium, and the pin too.

First, it is good to see you have your priorities straight!

Second, you will love wet grinding.

Third, Thise will be nice knives. That is almost the exact shape I make the most of. I sell 10 usuba/santoku for every fancy knife. Simple knife .... simple handle ... simple build ... easy sell.

Thanks, Stacy! It’s patterned on the knife my wife reaches for the most often. These will be the first ones I’ve made for other people’s kitchens. Planning on gifting one to each household in my family.

Lasering my Makers Mark on the blade. The Xtool F1 does an amazing job at this!

What a pain in my neck this Wakizashi is today. It will be straight when it’s done. But not without significant effort.

Having some fun outside of working... I engraved the parts of out of wood and painted them this morning for a larger "version" of my logo. I might hang it in my shop, not sure yet, but it was fun!

A rare kitchen knife sighting coming out of my shop. A small paring knife in .06 15N20 that just needs its edge.

I added an acrylic background and cut it out to look like my stickers (sort of)

Did this little guy from a 5.3" piece, 1" wide and 1/16" magnacut. 2.75" cutting edge, 7" oal, 2.5 oz. Handle is 5/8" thick at the widest. Going to be my new shop/edc package opener!

What handle material is that? Love the looks

 

[Taz]

It looks like Ghost Jade G10 with red liners under it?

 

[Linus Knives]

Doing some Cerakoting today, I'm really pleased with how these came out so far!

Thanks! It’s jade G10 over red liners. I absolutely love putting jade over any colored liners. The effect when you contour the knife is always so great. Here’s one with blue liners below

I peened the black/yellow knife and the pivot pin disappeared in the shadow disk as it should.
I peened the middle and back pin confex so it looks a bit like a steel ball at the bottom of the jigging.
I enjoy doing this so I jigged this brown paper micarta one al well
It has a cross cut natural G10 shield.

I'd like to give a shout out and thanks to Larrin for his awesome recent article on pattern welded steels.
IMO, every damascus knife maker should read and try to understand this stuff.

Is 1084-15N20 the Best Pattern Welded Damascus? - Knife Steel Nerds

Which combinations of steels work for pattern-welded Damascus and which don't? What affects welding, heat treating, and etching?
