Hello all, after quite some time I have decided to reevaluate, the old rule preventing sales posts and self-promotion. The rationale behind the change is that the makers will benefit from community support. There has been hesitation to change the rule based on the idea that sales post will run rampant if allowed; however, I have some requests in exchange for those who want to post a link to their website.
All criteria must be met.
There are a few additional limitations to this change
I hope that this change to the rule is favorable, if you have feedback or comments, I would like to hear it and may make changes accordingly.

AEB-L stainless with golden Acacia wood, stainless spacer, and aged brass bolster. These heirloom fit handles are tricky but I love how they look and feel! I mostly stick with gyuto blade shapes these days, so it was fun to mix it up with a western style.

How do you get this matte finish on the knife blade?
r/knifemaking • u/Occultatis • 15h ago
Another knife leaves my workshop.
I took 6mm or 15/64 inch thick 80CrV2, combined it with stabilised ancient bog oak, a red G10 liner, and carbon fiber pins.
Ground it to a really thin edge, and in the end, the customer said he loves the knife so much that he will only use it to cut watermelons.
Kinda funny imho.

Mostly finished with these

80CRV2 build, and I’m trying to do the final polish and sand. There is a pebble finish in some places on my blade. Trying to sand through it, but it’s taking some time and I don’t understand why the finish is different in certain places. Is this a byproduct of the heat treat process or some defect in the steel?

I have a knife a friend made with a slight lingering smell (he used an acid, I don't remember which), and I blued my spear and the guard and pommel of my with some gun blue- all seem to have a slight lingering sulphur smell. Any good way to neutralize it?

Have this old knife I’d like to replace the handle with something more ergonomic with no finger grooves. Has anyone done this and would you recommend grinding down the grooves or simply putting a handle around it?

Hey everyone, I've been playing a lot of B42 and wanted more variety in knives, so I made my first mod.
It adds 5 knife types (Bowie, Fillet, Folder, Trapper and Balisong) in 38 variants. Each knife has a grade that sets its stats (Military, Sporting, Handmade, Knockoff), plus a handle and a blade finish. Knockoffs dull pretty fast, Military ones hold up. Finishes go from plain satin to rare Temper Color and Damascus.
You can also forge Fillet, Bowie and Damascus blades with Blacksmithing and put together your own handmade knives. They use the vanilla models with new textures, and I tried to keep the balance close to vanilla.
I tested it on 42.21 in single player. I haven't tried multiplayer yet, so if you run it on a server I'd love to hear how it goes.

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome. A proper Kukri with its own model is next on my list.
