Malice9610 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 This one was a bit of an experiment that initially I didnt plan to finish off ( I expected to screw it up and toss it in the scrap pile ) as I was just using it to practice getting a smooth plunge cut that I was able to finish out evenly, as Plunge cuts have been the bane of my existence recently. The knife is not yet finished, needs a bit more sanding around the butt to get the low grit scratches out, and I need to properly wrap and secure the paracord on the handle, but overall I am happy with the goal of this particular knife, which was to make a very clean plunge on both sides. Anything stand out to anyone that I should work on to improve with my next one, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 May we have a picture looking down with the blade up to see how even the plunge is? (and don't scrap your experiments tig weld them into a gate panel or a window guard for the shop...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forging Carver Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Looks like a nice knife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice9610 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 here is that edge shot Thomas. There is a slight dip in it on both sides about mid way into the choil, but I suspect I could sand that out with a bit of elbow grease and some 220g I dont have a good spot to do decent lighting at the moment, the lower side of the blade in the picture seems to be a tad off, but I think thats the crappy lighting as when I hold it up to the light in the same fashion they appear almost dead even.

ThomasPowers Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The cut in looks smooth but that dip is annoying (and in a bad place as right before the ricasso is a stress area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
