Dan Bourlotos 26 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Right when I moved to Kentucky, I purchased my first belt grinder and promptly went to ruin the first several knives I made breaking it in. One in particular, was my first foray into W2, which I ground to thin and had the edge crack in several places after ht. I chucked it in my scrap pile and didn't give it a second glance until about a month ago when I decided that maybe I could re profile and regrind it into something serviceable. Here she is. Blade is W2, copper bolster and pin with the most gorgeous curly black walnut I have ever used. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Zeb Camper 763 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Looks clean! I like the handle a ton. And I envy your ability to finish an old "ruined" project and then keep it. I have yet to keep anything I have made. I am just too critical of my work and it pains me to hold on to anything for too long. Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Wimmer 472 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Very nice. I think we need pinned thread (if there isn't one I missed) on "The knife I made formy self/ my self made EDC" Link to post Share on other sites

Nice fitting work. Alan, it is actually the center of a biohazard coin. My fiance got a bunch of these 1 troy oz copper "Apocalypse Zombiebucks" for some work function. I promised I would make her a zombie chopper if I could have them. Link to post Share on other sites
