Chris Covington Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Finished up these 3 knives this week. This blade was from a rasp. The handle is micarta with stainless hardware and blue liner Another rasp blade with brass hardware, cocobola, and spacers This blade was forged from 2 forge welded pieces of cable with 2 pieces of bandsaw blade seperating it. The handle is ebony, malachite spacer, and stainless hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan C Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Very nice! With the rasp knives do you anneal and then grind the primary bevels, in the process removing the teeth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Covington Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Very nice! With the rasp knives do you anneal and then grind the primary bevels, in the process removing the teeth? Yes. I annealed them in vermiculite overnight then ground them down to remove the teeth and expose the 2 patterns. The rest was stock removal.

T.J.watts Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Really nice. What kind of band saw blades? We haves two large HEM saws at work and I have a lot that I use for fabrication spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Covington Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 the bandsaw blade was from a metal cutting bandsaw and was given to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Beautiful design, fit and finnish, but as a knife user I have never liked that kind of blad transition. As you sharpen the blade it becomes a projection that has to be grount down. I find this on chef knives all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J.watts Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I looked in to what Lenox saw blades are made of. They wouldn't tell me exactly what is was but the teeth are high speed steel and the backing is spring steel. I asked if it was 1095 cause it hardened the same and the guy chuckled and said I was really close. Don't know if this helps anyone but I'm pretty sure it's 1095 or 1075.

3DistinctKnocks Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Beautiful work. I especially like the first knife. I use one very similar to that when skinning game and absolutely love the blade shape. Very impressive work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
