Mine is the orange one, Colin’s is green. I made a lanyard, he burned the end in. We’re both satisfied with the results :)

Knife forging, part 2

Posted on October 7, 2020January 4, 2025 By admin

This is after rough grinding, fine grinding, hand sanding, polishing and sharpening. Need to buy paracord for the wrapped handle.

How shiny is it now, you ask?

This shiny.

Knife forging, part 1

Posted on September 23, 2020May 2, 2024 By admin

Spent the morning forging the rough shape, finished up after lunch, then did the 1st grinding and getting it ready for the quench and thermocycling. After the heat treatment and relaxing, we started on the profiling grinds, and then it was time to leave.

Part 2 will be in a couple of weeks, when we finish the grinds, then polish, sharpen and paracord wrap.

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
