Eric Estlund Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) I've been on a hell of a sword push lately, but my primary work is in small to medium edc type knives and kitchen cutlery. I'll post some of it in this thread. To kick things off, here is a new pattern of river knife I'm testing out (I'll be doing some guiding this season after a long hiatus). This one is in 154cm with G10 scales. Edited April 30, 2022 by Eric Estlund 7 Eric Estlund WinterCutlery.com IG @wintercutlery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3 Customs, if I recall. 29 minutes ago, Alan Longmire said: Me too! The shape looks great. Is the G10 slick when wet, though? Not more so than any other material I have tried. Plus the grip shape is designed for a positive grip in less than ideal situations.

Doug Lester Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The color of that handle will let you know where your knife is if you set it down somewhere. It looks like it's a workhorse.

Joshua States Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 For some reason, I cannot see the first photo “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it.

Joshua States Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Nice work. What steels are you using? Are they all 154CM? “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it.

I use a variety. 154 for the stainless outdoor knives, 440c for the stainless kitchen, 1075, 1080, 1095, some D2, 80CRV2, 8670 and SV30. 10xx and 154 are my work horses, though. 2 Eric Estlund WinterCutlery.com IG @wintercutlery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Estlund Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) A new 440c belt knife, the Cooper's Hawk. I've been working on my belt finishes as my hands are not up to hand sanding every piece. Pretty happy with this on a working knife.

Alan Longmire Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 That is a great job for a belt finish! Did you buff at all, or is that just off the belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you- that's all belts on the grinder. I leave the flats at a lower grit for contrast, then work the bevels up. I need my new transformer hooked up before I can plug my buffer in (it's 3ph).

The different finishes on diferent facets/planes always gives the knife more visual appeal. “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it.

Doug Lester Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I agree with Josh about leaving the flats with a slightly courser grind to give contrast. Much better look than brut de forge.
