Next knife making challenge

Posted on November 21, 2020November 22, 2020 By admin

Colin and I are trying to make knives by material removal from plate stock of pre-hardened steel that I managed to source from a super nice, highly enthusiastic Franco-Swiss metallurgist and knifemaker. I spent a couple of hours last night with an angle grinder and it was fun (but hella noisy!)

I’m working on a tanto, Colin is making a santoku. Watch this space.

Quote of the day

"But surely dogs can't talk--" Sacharissa began.
"Oh dear oh dear oh dear," said Gaspode, "Did I *say* I was talking?"
"Well, not in so many words--"
--Sacharissa meets Gaspode the Wonder Dog (Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
