WRLD Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I really enjoy making knives so far. This will be where I post some of the ones that I make and hopefully I'll get criticism and see progress as i go This one is 1/8" 1084, micarta & 3/16 g10 pins. It's not finished yet but this one will be; The shovel V2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 That's a very nice little blade, WRLD. I had a couple of minor criticisms of some small details, but on looking more closely, I realized that what I'd seen as flaws were actually problems with the photos. Looking forward to seeing more.

WRLD Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Thank you! Some of my photos don't like downsizing I'm noticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmarkley94 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That's a beautiful blade! Not to many knives made in that pattern! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRLD Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thank you people for the compliments! Fresh out of the oven Canola oil makes some pretty colors if you don't get it all off before tempering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRLD Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 My first makers mark on a blade it can definitely get better but I'll take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRLD Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Roo, My shop rooster was curious as to if what I was making was edible, big nope! He's pretty happy to be included though.. Today's progress on a blade for a buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 A little forge scale won't do him any harm provided it's not some high alloy steel. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRLD Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Dont tell him that he already gets much to close to the forge while it's running. One of the bigger knives that I'm working on is almost ready for some epoxy. I read that a blade should be "almost sharp" before you grind the final micro bevel, Guess who cut themselves on their "almost sharp" knife today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRLD Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Completed my first knife of 2022 1084, Micarta scales. I'm not completely happy with how high I let my grind lines get but I feel like I'm getting more consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRLD Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 This one is a lot like one of the first knives that I ever made. It just works a lot better though. 1084, orange g10, black g10 pins, kydex sheath with probably to many rivets* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRLD Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Fresh out of the last tempering cycle is one of my favorite times during the "making" process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
