Rantalin Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Very nice looking! I especially like the green handle. What's that made of? I also like the distinctive hamon lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oljoe Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Nice Jens. I like the hamon lines.:cool: Do you clay coat the blades or are they edge quenched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Holy crap. It might just be because I'm new, but that cutlery looks amazing to me. They look like something you might buy from a fancy knife store or something. That's amazing. Is that normal, or is this your occupation?

oakwoodforge Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well I'm back from playing "Knife Santa " in snow bound Denver, Thanks for the kind words folks Rusty, bladesmithing is my stress relief, I work in an office 40 hrs a week. I've only been making blades again for about a year now, I hadn't made a single one in about 10 years. I got talked into a X-mas Kith last year and haven't been able to stop making them since. Joe I used Satanite refractory cement for the "clay" and quenched in 140 deg veggie oil Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
