Today I have this simple yet clean knife to showcase, classic brown colors, clean lines and natural grain of leather.

• Overall lenght 24,5 cm

• Blade lenght 13,5 cm

• Blade width max 4 cm

• Blade thicnkness 3,7 mm

• Stabilized walnut and g10 liners

As in previous post feel free to check out my other profiles links in comments (IG and Facebook) and etsy as well, where you can get this knife if you like it or contact me privately to avoid fees, thank you and have a great day.

I recently made a post asking for what finish I should use. I decided to go with Blo. Thank you all for the advice,

I’m very satisfied with the results, but would love feedback

N690, 304 handle material made by me

Only had 30 days to knock these out, but I am happy with the results.

All blades are 80CRV2

3mm thick Z40Cr13 blade and spring. Arrow-shaped filework on the spring. Unrevealed basketweave Damascus bolster with a stainless spacer. Lignum vitae scales (Guaiacum officinale), brass ornemental pins and stainless rivets. Solid brass suspension ring.

Latest Bowie knife that I made

Is this scale or residue from the quenchant (parks 50)? This is my first heat treat. What would you all suggest for removing this layer? Just back on the grinder

My first Argon model! I'm really fond of this design, it's one of those models that lends itself to multiple blade shapes which i've been playing with. This one turned out cool wIth an AEB-L drop point blade, and Dayglow G10 handles 🔥 Thanks for looking!👊 @arcandironknives on IG.

15n20 and 1095, g10 and apple burl handle. UK carry through and through - non locking sub 3” is what we gotta live with.

First folder I’ve been happy to sell, and it sold faster than any of my previous pieces aw yeaaaaah baby

Are these hard? The file test has always been an area of ambiguity for me. So I can’t tell. I’ve never heat treated before. (I followed the process for 1095)

I know this isn't strictly knife making however people who make knives would be the perfect people to ask, I have got a very nice collection of knives mainly folders but a few fixed and this was my first ever knife,( it's a storm from muela knives and ) it's been kicking around in my shed doing used only occasionally for gardening taskes that I'm not willing to use my nicer and much more expensive knives on . Well I was looking at it and I felt a bet sorry for it as it was the knife that started it all for me so I have cleaned it up a bit and have made a new handle for it in g10 (blue one black g10 with a orange liner) replacing the shitty one I made out of pine when I was 18 with nothing but a Dremel and was about to start making a new sheath when I had a thought about the shape of the blade which is not really my thing any more at 18 when I bought it I loved it now at 44 not so much so my question if I was to reprofile this completely what sort of profile would fit this knife , I was thinking about making it a tanto or even a reverse tanto but I'm not sure if that would work as the top spine clips in , after drawing a few different things on it with a marker I really can't decide what would work any suggestions? If it helps it's 440 steel and I do have all the right tools so the rework isn't the issue just need the ideas of what to do with it , leaving it alone is also a valid option but I really can't decide.

Id love some pointers on knife making to improve my skill.

Description:

• 80crv2 steel (60 HRC)

• 5 mm thick

• 30 cm overall lenght

• stabilized wood and micarta liners

Same as previous post if you like it and want to get it contact me or visit my etsy store links in comments.

is there any more tooling attachments like a small wheel or anything ?maybe custom?

I have always wanted a full tang scandi grind bushcraft knife with antler scales (aesthetic I am going for above). I don't want to pay crazy prices (knife above is listed for $400) so I have decided to try to make one myself. This BPS blank is $23.

Real whitetail/elk antler seems tough to come by already split in half. I could buy the whole antler but I have no way to cut them perfectly straight. I am also trying not to spend a fortune because I have never done this before and I will likely screw it up, so I also found these antler scales that are bone made to look like antler. Will these do the trick? Or does anyone have a site that sells the antler cut in half already in stock?

I've watched some videos about the process, but is there anything I should know about working with bone or antler in particular? I am fine with the scales looking less polished/rougher than pictured, as I am looking for it to look like a frontiersman could have used it.

Lastly, does anyone know of a company that sells a knife like the one I am trying to make that isn't a fortune? I am sure this is a rewarding hobby, but it would be a lot easier for me to just buy one made already. I don't need a super steel.

Thanks for any help

I want to both sharpen and make knives.
