I like that. This is one of the very few hamon's I've seen that actually looks good on damascus.

More good stuff headed your way.

It makes excellent kitchen knives. One of my favorite non-stainless steels for the purpose.

Yes, the Canon 100 f2.8 Macro has a long, excellent reputation. You should be using a tripod for this sort of photography anyway so the IS wouldn't buy you anything.

That's another one of yours I really like. Great lines.

That is just so sweet. An absolutely beautiful gyuto.

I also like that a lot. Great lines, very clever and clean way of highlighting the peened tang and of course I'm a sucker for copper :-)

Good start Kevin.

Yes, please stay around even if you can't do the physical work any more. You've still got a lot to pass on. On moving on: when my dad got to his mid-80's he decided that pulling silkscreens, which he'd been doing since retiring, was getting to be too much work so he took up watercolor and...

No, because I don't have a table mounted one. I was unable to get my readings consistent from time to time. I'm currently using calibrated test files and trying to figure out where to put a table mounted unit.

I used to use Canon SLRs. They're undoubtedly good cameras. A couple of years ago I switched to the micro-4/3 system by Olympus and Panasonic. The optical quality is similar (very, very good with good lenses) but the bodies and lenses are A LOT smaller and lighter. The latest bodies (I'm now...

It's too late for this year's best WIP contest but you've certainly set a high bar for next year.

That is just amazing! I've never seen an integral ornamented this way and you've done a wonderful job of it.

Sweet. Amazing how little distortion you caused in the turned part when forging.

My "official" current project is a couple of heavier German-style chef's knives. A friend asked about one some time ago and I finally got around to starting it after being inspired by the Zombie butcher knife I did for the NT KITH last year. So I ordered some more 52100 from the Baron. Then...

Welcome to the pack. Nice knife and outstanding olive!

Thank you Tracy and pack for creating and running this wonderful forum.
