kayakersteve Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks guys - Steel from Aldo included 1084, 1095 and 15n20 - Forged welded to 66 layers. I think that is called a ladder pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solano Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Steve, if you feel that knife is not worth keeping, I'd be tickled to have it haning off the chuckbox on my wagon! All of you guys educate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakersteve Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Solano - I think I'll keep it - kind of grown on me. The reason I say I learned a lot on this one as I still have flaws and mistakes that I hope to improve on when I do the next. Fun and addicting hobby!

eggwelder Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Not being a knife maker, but being a chef knife user, running the egde the full length if the blad is a good thing. If you stop short, then as time goes by, the edge is sharpend so that, unless grount off, the small bit of material that looks so nice, acts as a stop preventing the blade from cutting all the way to the cutting board. I believe that's the riccasso your referring to Rich? deal with that a lot at work with house knives. heinkels uses it(the bolster) and i have brought more than one home to grind down.

DRoberts Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The knife needs a ricasso...How to in lessons. JKs thought on a curved line where your forefinger will touch blade is spot on. i have needed this for a while. so exciting to learn so much stuff in a short time.

kayakersteve Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I apparently dont understand what a ricasso is because I think it has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
