Foundryman Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I made this knife mainly because I'm curious about what these Japanese style single beveled knives are like to use and I wasn't going to buy one of I can make one myself. The blade was made through stock removal starting with 3mm O1 that I thinned down to roughly 2.5mm. The handle is Ash that I saved from the firewood pile at work with a bog oak spacer. The knife is 13" long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will W. Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Looks pretty nice. But the pictures make details hard to see. Could we get some better pics perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foundryman Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks for the comments, here are a few more photos I just took, it's been used a little now so the steel has started developing a patina in places. This is probably one of the best performing blades I've made, the edge geometry really lends itself to slicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
