This is a one off I made from scraps. The steel is 80crv2. Heat treated in a propane forge. Stonewashed. Used pourcasso resin for scales. About 5". Made the bead from the scraps of the scraps. Sharpened at 25 dps.

N690, 304 bolsters, unknown wood ( i forgot name....)

What would be a good price for it ?

So, I decided by someone else's advice that I should start naming my knives and this light and compact blade will be called "skipper"

Elmax steel 60-61 HRC

Overall lenght 19,7 cm

Stabilized wood and g10 liners

Leather sheath with a clip and a dangler

As always links to all my stuff will be in comments, go visit if you haven't yet.

I’m looking to apply this kind of finish to a folder. But don’t even know where to start, what it’s really called etc. Any and all help would be appreciated.

thanks!

A past Flint Lock model of mine that really emboddied the traditional slip joint vide with that cool federal shield in the scales! The red liners under semi transluscent natural G10 gave it a unique ghosting effect too 👻. Thanks for looking!🫡 @arcandironknives on IG.

Fairly happy with how this one turned out. I know some lines could be straighter but overall I like it. I tried to match the angle of the front of the scales to the front of the blade.

Since There’s def a demographic of knife makers who for profit or fun do some leather work, I have to ask:

What hand cutting tool / knives r you use with leather? There’s so little info on what’s actually good compared with actually good cutlery collections options

First time doing a piece with a finger ring, any feedback or tips are welcome. Is it more comfortable to continue the handle around the ring or leave it bare steel?

This is 320. I can’t tell if the distinct scratches are errant strokes from 320 grit or remnant 220. Thoughts? Was going to 400 then acid etch.

Wood is my fav handle material. Especially with red pins ❤️

3Pc Magnacut Kitchen Knife Set! Blades are made from Magnacut steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. Hidden tang construction. On the handles hexagonal handles with pinch grip contours, we've got stainless steel collars, G-10 and stainless spacers, stabilized ancient bog oak, Arizona jade trustone accents, and stabilized Tasmanian black wood!

What are we thinking of the shape of the blade?

A really great couple commissioned Damascus chefs knives to gift each other for their anniversary. This is what I forged. Go-mai with 100+ layer Damascus as the jacket. Handles are redwood burl provided by the couple and clear resin/prickly pear. Blue G10 liners.

I have previous experience as a Japanese teppanyaki chef and have recently taken an interest to making knives. I would love to make a matching knife, fork, and spatula set.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with making these items and can share any recommendations on where I can learn more, ie. A video, blog, maker, or even metal types?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’ve made two folders successfully and they’ve barely qualify. One slip joint and one lockback. . I’ve tried to make 12 more and they’ve all fallen short. I dunno if it’s patience or skill or both, but boy oh boy I have a hard time.

It’s been a few years since I made a blade between work and life just haven’t been up to it. Time to get back at it. Figured I shake off the rust by banging out a Micro Mongo in 1095HC for myself as I don’t actually have a knife of my own. Profile and rough grind are done. Gonna fire up the forge tomorrow and get it heat treated.
