Beautiful Eric!  What did you use to get the thin lines on the ricasso?

[Eric Estlund]

Depending on the exact need, I have some specific files, shop made gravers and assorted rotary cutters. This was probably a combo, but it's been in process for some time and I forget exactly. After a long time and a ton of work it's coming together.

Looks impressive, fullers on a blade are the perfect finishing detail.

Starting to build stock for a small show. A couple Forged In Fire judges are putting together a small thing in Culpepper mid-November, should be fun.

KITH blade did not explode in hardening phase, so far so good, lol!

It wasn’t today, but I etched a knife I had last week. This thing has been kicking around for a year or two. Vaguely kukri like. This might go to the raffle at the hammer in if I can get a sheath done.
