Mosaic guards, bronze spacers, african blackwood handles.

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?

(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

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.

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. 😎🔪

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!

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.

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.

How do you get this matte finish on the knife blade?

Bought myself another knife making course (this is getting expensive).

1st course was a few years ago - gift voucher Christmas present.

This time was a 3 day course. 3 different instructors, mainly due to their work patterns.

I think it turned out ok.

​

So all I have is an angle grinder, a power drill, a pair of tinted safety glasses, and a random hammer. Also a 300 dollar budget. Instead of a belt grinder, would a worksharp mk.2 work nicely? My budget is limited. Also, what else do you recommend I buy? I just want to make some small fixed blades. Also, is 1084 steel with g-10 handles a good start, or should I change the configuration?
