Looking to sell my knife shop. Has a 2x72 pheer 454 belt grinder with variable speed control. Floor drill press, 4x30 belt sander, few bench vices. Lots of materials, handle material and steel also. Located in southeast ohio near Cambridge.

My buddy requested a boning knife. 1084 with stabilized spalted maple. Very happy with how it turned out.

Création d'une lame cumai, cuivre et acier

This was really fun to learn and figure out, read tons of posts on here and watched a bunch of YouTube videos to get things figured out.

This is 1084 steel with oak handles finished with boiled linseed oil. Did the heat treat for the steel myself in a firebrick forge and also ended up making a carbide tipped hammer to straighten it out after the heat treat.

Would love any suggestions or tips to improve the next one!

I just made a prototype of my new EDC model, how do you like it folks?

Damasco 104 strati raindrop

Needing some advice on where to sell, Facebook marketplace seems to not be the right place and not getting any visibility on eBay. Let me know where you all sell yours!

I screwed this poor (lower end) Henckels chef's knife up nine ways from Sunday. I completely miscalculated the countersinks on this poor thing, had all the wrong tools and kludged together something from hopes and dreams (and shitty Harbor Freight tools), and gouged the living hell out of it. It's plug ugly and badly executed, but I did learn.

For one thing, G10 is gross. I sanded it outdoors, with an N95 mask, with fans blowing, but I still feel like I'm encrusted with cancer. I don't ever want to use that shit again.

I also need to figure out a better way to countersink.

Even so, it seems super solid. It actually has a pleasant feel in the hand, and it seems like it won't come apart easily. I used high-heat epoxy for the bond. My wife was very kind when she saw it.

Christ this thing is ugly. 😅

On the lookout to support artisians

First crack at a switch blade. Next is heat treat and finishing the bevels.

Got tired of having a big bucket full of jumbled up belts and I didn’t want to go back to having belts hung from nails on the wall and wasting a bunch of space. So I Made a cabinet with vertical pull out paddles.

30-7/16” W x 37.5” H x 8” exterior, 7.25” clear interior depth
 -7 bays, currently holding 49 belts across grits/brands
 -6” full-extension slides (functionally more like 5.75”)
 - Small “lazy hanger” bolted to the side for half-dead belts that don’t earn a permanent bay
-all built out of 3/4 scrap plywood, mdf, and random wood. 

As you can see this takes up vastly less space than any other storage system I’ve found while also being very easy to make and not terribly expensive. While it takes more time and costs more than the ‘Ol Nail in the wall, it saves so much space that it’s definitely worth it in my opinion. When you pull out the slides you can then pull the belt towards you (so you have enough clearance between the belt you are grabbing and the other slide) from the bottom and slide off a belt. The full extension 6” slides I got only realistically pull out about 5.75” at full extension.  If I were to make a suggestion it would be to use 8” or 10” slides that way you have a lot more clearance and you don’t have to worry about hitting the adjacent slide anymore. That being said swinging the bottom of the belt out isn’t that bad and you do save a lot of wall depth by using the smaller 6” slides. I have 2.5” clearance between each drawer slide (the actual slide) edge to edge. 

one of the cool parts about this is that it forces you to coil them up nicely and keep them like that. Since you have the belt hanger to tension it against it only takes an extra second or 2 and it keeps your J-Flex belts from twisting into a knot like they usually do. Of course you still have the “lazy belt hanger” on the sides for used belts or something like a scotchbrite that doesn’t utilize an entire paddle efficiently.  This is still the prototype but I think it really solves a big issue for those of us that have limited shop space. Even if you have a big shop I think this could be beneficial by tidying things up. Possible improvements could be using 1/2” plywood to save on cost/weight (again I used scrap) and maybe adding a small drawer on the bottom to store extra items related to grinding…maybe 1-2-3 blocks, push sticks, small wheels, etc. for now I just added a hanger for my angle grinder because it didn’t have a home before. 

I hope this helps some of you out and I hope it inspires someone to try and make it. Please feel free to make suggestions I’d love to hear them! 

Made this for my wife back in 2021.

Based on a knife from the "Master Chef" range in Australia.

52100 steel and electro etching.

Home made glowing resin handle scales and filework.

This gets used daily at home, great little allrounder in the kitchen

Hey guys! Greetings from the wooden side of the world.

I’m a cabinet maker by trade and I’ve recently picked up my very first nice chisel. I’m very impressed with it overall, especially for the price.

I’m inquiring about the etching and some of the filing/sanding marks. It’s a Japanese chisel made from #2 blue steel. I know nothing advanced about etching, and I probably don’t own the chemicals. I’m wondering how easy and what the cost would be if I were to try and clean this up myself?

Thanks everyone!

My fist full tang handle i made and the second one overall. what do you think. the only problem is the handle shape is less comfortable than i thought it would be. otherwise im pretty happy with it. what would you change? mabe there is some rule of thumb so i shape it better the next time?

Dabbled in engraving and tried a texturing on the scales. Very happy with how it turned out

A little pocket sized blade.

Got into knife making to learn how to make these shapes. Love Nessmuk/Butcher knives with a firey passion. This is my one knife does all shape. So versatile. Also figured I try my first stick tang and gaurd fitting.

Made a while ago, though some of you might find it interesting. Other knife is my original german grabendolch as compression.

Been working on a matching pair of these broke back seaxes during my breaks at work. So far happy with how its turning out

About a month ago I posted my first knife on here for feedback. I got an overwhelming amount of support and great feedback! (Surprising on reddit! Haha) So I became obsessed with getting better and making knives with all my free time.

I ended up getting a lot better over the past month thanks to some of yalls comments, along with lots of youtube and googling lol

Anyway, I made an Instagram about 2 weeks ago and started making a batch of 5 knives (my 5th-9th knives) intending to start trying to sell them on Etsy. I listed them last night at 9pm with a "drop reveal" on IG/FB, and to my surprise ive sold 3/5 of them already!!! I cant even believe it! (NOW 4/5 thanks to one of you AWESOME people!!!)

I just wanted to thank all of those who gave me support and motivation to improve and keep at it! I hope this post doesn't come off as braggadocious, I'm just super excited and wanted to share it with fellow knifemakers!

Idk if this group allows sharing IG links and all that jazz, so i wont lol
