 Sashimi knife project...
Making a sashimi knife for a friend of mine. This will be the first knife that I actually take to fully finished state, which means i will polish it, sharpen it, and give it a handle... (i havent put a handle on any of my blades yet, i still spend all my time working with the metal...) Below are some pics of the progress so far.      |

Thanks for the comments. So far I've just been practicing hammering techniques, hardening techniques, and trying lots of different polishing techniques. I've yet to actually complete a knife or make a handle for one. I've got very little time to spend on this, and if i cant find a way to make the steel look a way I'm satisfied with I don't see the point in spending time making handles. However a friend of mine said he was interested in buying a sashimi knife, so i said hey, i could make you one of those, and here i am. I'm only planning on putting a simple handle of a wooden dowel with the sides planed to an hexagon shape, so i will not have to spend alot of time on the handle. Plus, having someone patiently waiting for what i'm making motivates me to finish it... I hope to make it look like this when i'm done. |

This is W1 drill rod. Yeah, we found a piece of scrap square bar that just fits in the hardy hole. I saved the bar and cut off a few inches to weld onto the bottom of any hardy tool i wanna make.
