Marcus_Aurelius Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi all, Its been a little while since I have posted on the forums, I have been in college which sadly means not much forge work has been getting done. On the up side more machining! I figured I would post some of my old projects, here is my first 'real' kitchen knife I forged back in august. I am really happy with how it came out, its not perfect but some of my best grinding work went into this sucker. The full tang blade is forged from 1084. The handle is dyed stabilized Black Ash Burl, with three pins, the outer two being stainless and the middle being brass (ran out of stainless). There are a couple of firsts on this blade that made it a very fun build. It is my biggest knife by a couple of inches and my first use of stabilized wood and stainless pins in a knife. The blade extremely sharp and holds a mean edge. This blade was sold to a good friend of mine so it came with a nice price cut on it. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCalvert Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The ergonomics look tip top, and that burl!!! I love burl that has high contrast eyes and veins! Did you stabilize yourself?, and is it cactus juice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus_Aurelius Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks for the compliments! MCalvert, I purchased the burl from TheBlankSpace, really nice prices and some beautiful options. Thomas, if he does the handle will match the pumpkins nicely (it is more orange then pictures show).
