Re: some knife pics ...

a few new pics of some recent work for those who are knife minded :wave:

a super mini stainless damasteel ... spent AGES making this one
finger grooves for micro hands and fully shaped all by hand and checked by 15x eyeglass :whistle: sharp enough to whittle any match or toothpick that crosses its path :nana:

Nice! Is there a belt pouch available for it? :grin2:

nice knives
I really like the materials used
I make my own mokume and damascus aswell
but I have to buy stainless damascus though
I have started making a large ss damascus and carbonfibre folder with titanium liners ... got some really nice exotic carbon fibre patterns to use

glad you like it
its made from N690 (Bohler steel's version of 440c with extra tungsten)

recurve grind,fileworked and handrubbed to 1500 grit
OAL 5" 127mm BL 2" 50mm thickness 5/32" 4mm

RIMG0683.jpg


took the extra time to file and polish all the finger curves to a
nice friendly profile... it can be held in many ways,using blade up or down etc
or like a small paring knife grip

I have had a good reaction from everyone
so I will look at making a few of these (dozen max)
(one at a time) in the future
I also have some nice 440c in 1/4' 7mm thick stock which would be really nice for this type of style

I will try to keep the cost down but don't really know what end price will be
genuine suggestions would be most welcome


I will make one for anyone who asks me here if they really want one
let me know

Only suggestion I can make is to perhaps offer a neck sheath for it when you make a few of those. Combination jewelry and handy knife. :)

thanks ... yes I was going to try to make something decorative
from wood or leather
with just the end ring exposed it can be used as a bottle opener
keeping the blade protected
but still look like a neckchian totem/symbol

thanks ToolFool

there has been a lot of interest in these...
someone else here has expressed a need for many of these

I will look into making more if there are some more requests


:poke::poke::poke:

I am very busy with orders for the next 2 weeks
and I am going to a bladesmith symposium for a week from 28 Aug

but I will also be on holidays for 2 extra weeks
this will mean a nice fast turnaround for orders taken


cheers Jason
