MLenaghan 57 Posted June 12, 2017 Hey Guys, Not gonna lie I started this in the winter and then forgot about it till now... anyways should be all good! Not sure what to call it but it's w1 and mild steel sides, seems to show a hamon above the weld line from carbon migration. it's shapes based off a knife I've been using for the last half year and seems to deal with most foods in the kitchen.Did a test etch but still needs to get a good polish on it and a handle. Thinking dark wood and the blade and a lighter maple for the rest of it. Hope you guys like it, I'm getting excited seeing the other knives! Here's how it started, 2 by 2 by 3/4" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLenaghan 57 Posted June 29, 2017 Well got the blade all finished, all that's left is a hand sharpening on stones but gonna wait till it's ready to go out for that. Left the blade with a matte finish but there is a hamon in there sitting above the weld line on the mild steel, its neat being able to see the carbon migration! The way the tang was forged it was kicked a little up and would normally have it flat with the spin but it sits nicely in the hand and is wanted to kill some veggies! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
