Next finished knife - K.I.T.H.
I kinda feel repeating myself: Havent been around for a while.
I have started a local Knife in The Hat (K.I.T.H.) event here, and this is my knife to be offered.
Enjoy.
My next finished knife after the customers one is this fellow here:
Bill of materials:
DS1 on the right, and the re-shaped one on the left. Contoured, ready for beveling:
As a rookie knifemaker, I had some issues making the bevel symmetrical on my litllte grinder, that runs 37m/s. But nailed it!
The carbon laminate, tested for looks
Here it goes. The one with the holes in the tang is this one. The one without holes is his sibling, made from 1.4116 stainless steel. Have to admit, I love this shape:
Current O1 projects after HT and tempering. Since then, I have ruined the 2nd from the left :) 1 down, 3 remaining (+1 1.4116, that was HT'd separately)
Cleaned and pre-polished, all shiny and neat
Glued
Still a lot to polish:
Finished one. I will not touch Carbon again,untill I have a proper filtering system in my shop.
Everything is covered in carbon dust.
