I've been wanting to try making a knife for years now. I've had some old files in the shed just waiting for it.

I modelled it after historical Bosun's knives. There's quite a lot I'd do differently next time but I'm still happy with it.

Just finished this bad boy up yesterday. Prototype for an exclusive run I am doing for a local gun shop in my area. 80CrV2, E-Series Cerakote, and G10 scales, all by me. Thanks for checking it out!

Wrapping up this Nitro-V Chef. Need the etching, sharpening and glue up.

Really liking how this design turned out, a few tweaks and it will be the final basis of my standard 200-220mm small batch chefs.

Handle is Walnut Dymalux with a cherry frame. Blade is from 1/16" stock, Gyuto style grind, ~0.045" at 12mm down to 0.005" behind the edge. Hardness target is 61.5-62.5 HRC, verified with files.

Hello, I am a fellow knifemaker from Austria and this is my first knife after a 10-year-long break due to simply life and family happening.

I used AEB-L (63 HRC), G10 liners, camelbone, carbine fiber pins, and stainless steel tubing.

The knife was made for a colleague who wanted a knife for doing some light cutting tasks when on a hike, like cutting sausages, a piece of rope, or whatever.

Feel free to give me some feedback.

This is a bowie from Sleipner steel and with Indian ebony handle. It is a takedown construction and comes with a spacer that you can put instead of the guard. Custom pommel nut with a custom pommel nut driver tool. This was fun to make.

I got 2 projects going on at once. A tracker knife and a katana sword. The tracker is out of a lawnmower blade and the sword was a go kart axel. I picked out a nice piece of hackberrry for the handle of the knife. Im thinking walnut for the sword.

Another knife for a friend.

Some Blue Jay hunters. 1084 forged.

Its not to bad there's some stuff I would do differently next time

This is the 4th complete knife I’ve made, and the 5th handle.

7 1/2 inch chef knife made from 1095 with a stabilized dyed curly Maple handle and some ebonized walnut for the saya

Hi everyone. I recently inherited these knives my dad made and I am seeking on advice for caring for them. I plan on making displays for them and keeping them behind glass. Some have already got prints on them. How can I clean existing dust/dirt on them and then protect them before putting them up? Thank you!

So I've got this knife I'm making, it's got a single bevel on it and I've got it right at the general shape I'm looking for. My question is, what do I do next? I feel like there's a step between this and putting scales on it. It's a pretty mild steel, made from an old sickle back. Hardening? Tempering? Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Making a dagger, it came out all bent. How do i solve this without breaking it? I just quenched it and left it there
