antigoth24 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wanted to share some pictures from my first knife making class in the new shop in Minnesota. He had a fairly ambitious goal in mind of completely a full knife and sheath over two 8 hour class days, to add to this we decided to add a hamon as well. The hamon looks low and lean (in the good way) in person but unfortunately I wasn't able to get a good photo with the lighting and time at the end of the class. This was his first knife he had fully done from start to finish and his third he had worked on. In either case I think he did an excellent job and so I wanted to share his work, I think I'm as proud of his work as he is :) But here is the knife he did. It was forged from a bar of 1095 and given rosewood scales with stainless steel pins. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thats a fine looking knife. I look forward to see more as you develop in the skills sets. Well done all round. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tantrum86 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That blade looks great! It says a lot about his skills and your ability to teach. The plunge cuts are clean and that can be a hard thing for new knife makers to get right so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camero68 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That is slick! Awesome blade, like the proportion of the blade to the handle and the rosewood really suits it very well. The sheath looks well made as well. It just shows how good a mentor you are. Great work to both of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
