Helloo steemers :D just want to share with you one of my last works.
As said in my introduction i make knives, i mostly just do what i like and recently i jumped in to kitchen knives.
Also the first time in a while a took a custom order, kinda a nightmare for most makers.
this is a 100% sole authorship product, al all of the blades i make.
i shape, grind, heat treat the steel myself, the wood is been sourced at a local lumber yard and stabilized under vacuum with heat curing resin by me.
the wood chosen this time is a nice and simple curly maple that i stabilized but also double died to add some colour to the final product.
some numbers :D
blade made out of N690 3 mm
overall length: 33 cm
blade length: 21 cm
ground flat to convex
stainless steel pins
as you can see i carved a boar on the blade near my logo by customers request, the template/source i used was a pictish boar carving
the wooden saya was carved out of some iroko boards, quite a light wood and the retaining pin is bade out of olive wood burl
so far the costumer is quite happy :D and so am i.
hope you like this kind of content :)
till next time

Sounds great! ;)
I was right! I think there is no italian who doesn't know how to cook! ;)
I like it too! I guess I am good cause my family and friends says that I'm ready to marry and my husband will not starve (that's a kind of traditional way to say that food you cooked is delicious) xD

Even though I've seen this one before I must say it is stunning. How did you carve the boar?

ehehe i will repost some older work as now i am doing more experimental stuff that sometimes just gets binned in the scrap.
i actually etched the boar with a battery charger 12v and scratched the figure on a layer of nail polish. nightmarish job especially as is done on the finished blade xD
