ah, but something is meant by it.
there it is, a reminder of the fresh new endeavor, the pent up excitement, waiting, untapped, while other projects get all the attention. So there is no reason to have it in the pic other than to tease me that I remain unfulfilled. I'm very sensitive (and probably neurotic) so I can read something out of nothing everyday. |

Lol.  Attached FileI got the harpoon/swedge grinds done and ground the recurve in on the harpoon point. Now I have to go back and thin the bevels down in that area to even out the edge. My little shop Knife is almost finished. I got the plunges in and the edge down to .008". I'm going to give it a try without scales so I still need to round the sharp corners off and decide what to do with the flats. |

Got these bad dudes finished up today.
 Attached FileNow to finish up the harpoon/recurve..... I'm still undecided what I'm going to do for handles. They're probably going to be some flavor of black, but I'm not sure what yet. I'm thinking maybe black burlap micarta. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What's in the works now? This is the stuff that's in the works at the moment.  Attached FileThe prep knife with the Mexican blanket handle is done and getting delivered tomorrow, the chef with the weird handles is getting the plunge grind and the angle on the front of the scales changed to match the angle of the line where the bolsters meet the scales. The two other chefs are ready to hand sand, mark and put handles on. The recurve/harpoon point is getting a black oxide finish(I need to order the caswell kit) then it's handles and a sheath. After these I'm planning on some more cigar stuff and designing a friction folder. |

I'm leaning towards some form of carbon fiber with something whitish as bolsters with red liners on the Damascus one.
The knife I'm going to finish first is getting od green canvas micarta with red liners because my wife likes it and wants all the kitchen knives to match. I'd rather have a bunch of random. Lol |

Quoted: Nice. Would you be so kind as to show the process in which you sign your knives. Or at least tell us/me how. Sure. I'll post pictures of the process when I get to that point on the next one. Short version is: I have stencils made by a company (International marking group) and I use electrolyte solution on a pad and pass DC voltage through the blade and pad with the stencil in between. The process is called "electrochemical etching". Quoted: crosscut Westinghouse sounds like fun It looks pretty cool. The only downside is that all the darkened part is around the outside edge so it'll probably all get ground off. I follow a dude on Instagram that sells a bunch of rare and vintage materials and he's always posting some very cool stuff but most of the time a chunk big enough to make a set of scales out of costs as much as a couple of my knives. Lol |

The crosscut Westinghouse is the brown slabs. The other two that don't match the teal color are "opal" which is actually translucent which was a surprise and it's kind of cool and the more green ones are vintage or antique "margarita".
All three of these particular sets are 1/4" or thicker so they're too thick for folder scales. |

I stayed up until 3:00 this morning heat treating blades. I think my number was 13 or 14. Lol
 Attached FileTwo of them were older knives that I couldn't get straightened out so I re hardened them. One worked out and one is still wavy, like way bad. It's a boning/fillet knife and it's made from .060" (iirc)AEB-L and it's warped about a half inch in kind of a lazy"w" shape. It was really bad last time too. The disappointing part is that it was dead flat after the plate quench and picked up the warp in the dry ice bath. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it at this point. One chef was warped a little but it flattened out in the second temper. I'm still fighting with one friction folder blade and two utilities. I also got some handles started for this mid size (6?") chef and the harpoon/recurve/fighter. |

Quote HistoryThat looks like a guillotine type cutter with an inlay. I suppose a guillotine type cutter where the cutting blade is steel could have the other side be made out of just about anything rigid. Good job, WIC. You get to apologize to the people who want knives when I decide to run down this rabbit hole.  Can you post a link to the cigar thread where I can ask questions about this stuff? |
