Hello all! To be honest I'm only listing this many for sale because I had gotten laid off work and had more time than usual to make a few more knives before the holidays were coming up. These are some of the first ones I finally put my makers mark on :)  If you like them please let me know, comments good and bad are always welcome!!!!! I'm still learning! All work was done by me! I'm naming my forge after my soon to be wife who believed in me and pushed me to do the thing I loved <3 I call her my Koala Bear, so my forge name is Koala Forge, and my touch mark is a Koala Bear which is hot stamped into all of my work :)

 

 

First up for sale is a Japanese Nakiri I forged, meant as a vegetable slicing workhorse for the kitchen :)

I was experimenting with thick forged tapers and weight/balance, and wasn't able to bring the blade finish as even as I would have liked while maintaining geometry and look that I wanted, so I discounted the price accordingly :)
