RE: Knife Sale - #00 Is it Time? Let's see...
You seem to know what you are doing! i love the walnut handle. look at my knife... it is a disgrace i know.. i can hardly use ist to cut some bush in the garden :)
Still fun to make it.
Happy to see other people with passion for knifes!
Lol, you should see my first one ;)
It's kinda hard to see from the pic, but I think if you refine the edge on the stone or sand-paper it will cut much better. Are those file marks I see?
If you don't have stones, just take sanding paper stick it on some flat surface and go through grits - starting from 220 or something close, and taking it up to 1000. It will cut your bushes like a champ.
What steel did you use?
Oh yea! it is a good advice! I guess it is a pity to leave it in this state...
Well, the steel is just tool-steel no Damascus, i believe C15 or something similar. It still need to be hardened as well.
(and yes that are file marks you saw XD, I said it is a disgrace.)
Thanks again for the advice! It is motivating to see other doing such a great job!
Oh man, you have to do the heat treatment - until you do, it's not a knife but a knife-like object.
So, NP on the advice but it won't help much unless you do the HT ;)
Right, i need to fire up the Oven!
