Hello, as a beginner I would like to use this opportunity and present me briefly. I live in the North of Italy, which explains partially my bad English knowledge. But I hope to be able to improve here also these.
Knifes are for me primarily tools. I always carry one with me and I have a strange feeling without one. But I think You would now that feeling to.
As a beginner I don't think to be able to post a lot in the next time. There is a huge amount of knowledge (big compliments) to be read first.
However here a small overview on my abilities relating to knife making crafts:


2 Knifes 1.2842 or O2

Completed Knifes:



and a example of a Sheath




My first steps into forging knifes:

Size:
over all: 26 cm
handle: 11 cm
thickness of blade: starting from 8 mm to 0 mm
blade hight: 3,7 cm
weight: 304 gr



and a tryal to get a hamon on a C105 blade:

the hole blade



The Knife is not finished yet, but in a few Weeks ...


Greetings Rasp
