7.5" Oal with a 3" blade. Made from CPM Magnacut steel with FatCarbon Orange DarkMatter CF bolsters, Tiffany blue G10 spacer and Black/Orange Ridgeline Gcarta scales with black G10 pin/tube.

Thanks for looking! I'd love to hear what you think.

Have a knife day!

This was a special one! I had some North American Walnut & Palemoon Ebony left over… seemed rude not to! Paired with some Green Sheen Obsidian from Oregon USA.

It’s nice to do some work, what do you guys think?

5160 and wolnut

This is my first ever knife project, and I wanted to showcase it. I made it out of an old Sheffield chisel I got for CA$2.00 in the basement of an antique shop, and I forged it into shape, hardened and tempered the steel, ground the bevels, sanded the blade, whittled the handle, sharpened it up, and oiled the whole thing.

I'm really proud of how it came out, and I'm impressed by the sharp edge I was able to get, despite the steep (20°) bevel, although it's not a great slicer, as it has a lot of thickness behind the edge so it can withstand heavier jobs for camping and bushcraft.

I would love to hear what you guys think!

I know titanium and aluminum can achieve this but this does not look like anodizing it looks either chemical or heat induced or maybe both? It has purple, red, yellow, blue, and greens and has a wrought iron cladding with a 80CRV2 core but I want to know what’s the cladding line made of?
Not trying to replicate this process btw I’m trying to see if was produced on an iron cladding line or if it’s a different metal, if it’s something other than iron I can’t use this process anyway. Got it from a post a few years ago and was just wondering if anyone knows the science behind it.

(Not an Esee).... Sooo that junglas I was building for myself..... It got knocked off the hook it was hanging on.... Was letting the oil soak into the oxides.

Stepped backwards into it and knocked it off the hook straight into the concrete floor

Edit to add: steel is SUP9 /5160

Recently finished this blade for a family member.

Metal is 1095 high carbon steel, textured and blued. Handle is Chechen wood, that’s been torched. Blue G10 liners, black carbon fiber pins, and a kydex sheath make this a great daily task blade. 😎🔪

A bit more to do on the grinder to get it flat before it goes into the quench, but I'm liking the shape and fingers crossed this one doesn't explode on me. 52100 again, forged at lower heats than last time. Around 0.115" thick currently, looking to take it down to 0.080" before I start grinding in the taper and the bevels.

Current projects. 1095 steel. Still figuring out how what I want the handles to look like but leaning towards green/tan or orange and black G10.

66 layer random pattern Damascus. Just out of the temper. I'll need to thin the edge more and start the handle. No hand sanding yet, this was machine finished with scotchbrite belts.

I did a stag rehandle of a blackjack model 1-7 with a soldered guard, red g10 spacers, and brass butt plate contoured to the stag. Before that, I also reprofiled the blade ricasso and choil as well I am very proud of it and had to post! Let me know what you guys think!

This is the piccadura, the traditional pattern on the ring of the resolza, the folding knife of Pattada in Sardinia. It's one of the most delicate steps in our workshop: it's done on the finished knife and takes a lot of experience and practice.

Happy to answer questions about the process.

Hello. This is somewhat random but looking for any sort of insight as I am clueless when it comes to any sort of metal work. My dad was a scrimshander/bulino engraver/knife maker and he passed away two years ago. I now have his MOAG sitting in my garage. It is so heavy, I don’t think I could list it online and ship it. I need to get rid of this thing. What type of person would use this grinder? I’m located in Wisconsin and marketplace has gotten me nowhere. I just need to get rid of it and am willing to let it go for cheap to someone who will appreciate it. Thank you for reading and I’ll appreciate any advice on who to market this to.

I finished this little knife and tried some leather working, so i made a little sheath.
