Hey Guys,

today my 4. Knife is finished. Its a Kitchen Knife for me because my current Kitchen Knifes are very cheap.
First, the Steel is 1.2842.

Lenght: 26,5cm
Blade Lenght= 16cm
Depth = 3mm down to 0,2mm at the top
Handle = Olea europea from a piece of Wood that i found in Italy.
Hardness= The Knife is hardened by me in my Gas Forge and has a hardeness between 60 and 62 hrc
I have a Thermometer in my Gasforge to reach the right Temperature for Hardening.

P.s Again.. sorry for my English!

Hey Florian. That is a very nice looking knife. What did you use for the scales? Very nice grain to it. Thanks for sharing. :)

Sry, what did you mean with "the scales"?

I mean the wood pieces used for the handle. The wood grain is really nice. :)

Very nice looking knife! I like the shape and over all look. The scales are the wood pieces you used for the handle.
I am also interested in what you used. It has a very nice grain pattern. Thanks for sharing.

And your English is just fine.

Ah ok.
I used Olive Wood (Olea europea) from a piece of Wood that i found in Italy. Olea europea need a long time to dry, but its a very hard and nice Wood!

I lived in Weisbadden in in 1978, and I think your english is much better than my German ever was. Welcome to the forum.
