Hi, many of you guys know me for the custom flashlights and parts I made in the past, a year or so I started making knives and many of the tools needed for the craft such HT oven, grinder, etc.

This is my latest knife, its made in O2 (Bohler K720) with Guayubira handles and alpaca pins. Total lenght is 205mm and the blade 100mm. Wood was sealed then polished.

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Thanks for the nice words!

Here is another one, this one was made with Bohler N678 stainless steel, wood and epoxy mixed with strontium aluminate (glow powder) and its shaped to be used on hard surfaces, only the tip of the blade touches the surface and the rest of it remains sharp:

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

I like em! Have you thought about doing a folding anytime soon? It's more practical for me to carry around a folding knife. If so how much would it be around? Thanks

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

No foldings so far.

Two new models (already sold)

both are D2 steel (Bohler K110) 230mm long and 4.5mm thick. I made the scales with my CNC router and finished them by hand. Both blades were left sanded brut at the flats and scotchbrited at the grind:

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Looks like you are off to a good start. Your blades are stock removal I take it? You will probably catch flak from the purist smiths for using a computer, but nice to see what one can add to the process at any rate.
Look into knifemakers' guilds, the American Bladesmith Society (I'm a member), and look for local hammer-ins. They aren't just for heat and beat guys but stock removal too. I do a mix of both and have learned a lot and found great sources for raw materials that way. Heck, some master smiths throw away stuff 99% of the world would trade their teeth for...

I like those a lot, clever use of glow in the dark as well. You are very skilful.

Pablo did this one for me, sized to my hand. 5" blade, 10.3" overall. D2 steel and acacia wood. Feels wonderfully balanced and comfortable.Cuts like a dream. [/IMG]

Thanks Rudi, it was great to finally meet you in person after all these years of knowing you in the virtual world.

Re: I'm more into knifes lately

Takes a lot for a blade to catch my eye these days, but these certainly did!

I like the 2nd blade shape a lot, because its a fairly straight cutting edge, I find those considerably easier to sharpen than a blade with considerable up-sweep, personally. My sharpening skills need all the help they can get.

The blade with the checkered wood grips, though is my absolute favorite! The essential knife personified. SWEET!
