December 1, 201411 yr Small kitchen knife commissioned by a friend of mine for Xmas. 1081 H. Carbon Steel from NJ Steel. Oak handle. Sharpened with file guide system, leather strop, glass hone. Tried my hand at Electro-etching. I could have put on a few more layers of nail polish to prevent the rouge scratches. I need some small files so I can learn to make a blade bolster for a completed look. The blade is almost completely straight. I've been having some trouble keeping my lines as I don't own a flatter yet. I do the best I can with my hammers/mallets and swocker.
