Francis Trez Cole Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 here is a picture of a filet knife I made for my brother. He is a Chef. The knife is 13" long with a mahogany handle brass pins and a tong oil finish the blade is made from L-6 and 1095. it was tough to forge out then twisted and hammer flat I have enough for 2 more knives out of the billet. It was a fun project.this is only my 4th knife. time to set up a grinding area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnewberry Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm impressed that you jumped right into welding up your own steel for knifemaking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have been forge welding for years. Just never had much inters in making knives. I just keep getting sucked in to it. I found out that my Family were knife makers at imperial Knifes for years and then schrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 LOL I jumped in feet first; My first knife was a pattern welded blade. Albeit the finished product was two and a half years in the making :ph34r: Nice knife Francis!! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gaddis Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Francis...I can see it now: "Two Chefs' Handmade Knives" on a sign, going out of town, on a back street, with motorcycle peeps, drinking brews at your bar, with red heads and almost no tops..... Well that is what knife making leads you into. Be careful my friend. David G Carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
