RainsFire Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 they work wonders for damascus, and probably really thin things like fillet knives I guess, but other than that thats a bit thin for anything. I'de snag em, never know what a big whippy sharp thing comes in handy for.. I've made a few really small carving knives out of them.. but again, there really thin..

RainsFire Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 You got any pictures of the carving knives Kenon? none I'm proud of apprenticeMan.. I think you probably remember those times right? er maybe not.. I dunno but ya, there not something I would want to flaunt.. I'm going to dig up the digital camera pretty quick though and snap a few pictures of a blade I've been working on recently that I'm rather proud of... mainly because It didn't shatter in the hardening proccess..
