rhitee93 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Now that my press is functional, I have gotten back to making knives. This one is for an annual knife raffle/exchange in a knife making group. It is 144 layers of 1095 and 15N20. The blade is 8” long, 0.130 (3.2mm) thick over the heel, about 0.020” (0.5mm) just aft of the tip, and has a full flat grind. It performs quite well slicing tomatoes, and chopping chives, although I wish I had put a bit more belly in it. The handle is maple with desert ironwood end caps that are tenoned into the maple with copper and nickel silver spacers. I’m not real happy with the aesthetics of a Japanese handle on a mostly western style blade. I also managed to bugger up the pin hole even though I know better. Some day I'll make a perfect knife...
