I am trying to go with no plunge line, it seems to be working, just feathering out to bolster. Is this ok to do? Seems to be normal on bigger chef knives.

Thanks for advice, clarify wave to handle so I can do, have an idea. The scales will be black micarta and red liners, thinned down to less than 1/4 inch, glued already. Think I will use corby’s for first time. Will go to tru-grit tomorrow for heat treat and pick some up.

I started, had to free-hand grind, my diy guide is to big.

So I am on right track from studying them last few days, good to know. Thanks Sean

Yes, it is .062, my mistake.

My mother wants me to make a paring knife, have not done one yet. Does anyone have good plans that I could copy, searched google and different shapes and sizes all over the place. I was thinking it would be small, to cut or dice small fruits. My order of AEB-L at .62 thickness arrived and...

I confess, I buy my scales from a supplier and he does a wonderful job. He sells them cheaper than I could make them.

Almost done, sharpen, sheath hole and shipping. 1084 steel with G10 liners, leopard wood and blood wood. =AZWSz5FGSYdu3m3O2lBCTns7HSvzIaofiuFSde07ssliN1TAokPWaYIdDKHW38-LR_7tcxO78XFDCFVRUlrvYyCLEUzH-IqmPDE7pjCGMJ0wEZyuKEQ0BZCACB-1d73o_oQ&__tn__=*bH-R']...

I missed this post, of course, my cousin who is a Chef wanted this shape and he loved it. I got the idea from his pocket knife.

I made two more cleaver knives, 1084 and stabilized cedar elm. People really dig this shape.

What happened to our build along, you cheated us. I might suggest doing the pool last though.

Love the look, should research this, but how thick do you put the mortar on? I am guessing mortar on top do to edge being hardened.

I was having issues with stainless pins getting too hot as well, only recently though, learned much here. My problem was switching to 300 stainless from 416 a few knives back. Now strictly using 416 and much better, used a magnet since I mixed it all up, pulled all the 416 to top of pile...

I re-did my shop lignts with these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G2Q4VZN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Extremely happy, like daylight in there now.

I have an ace in the hole, I am from Washington originally and can have relatives pick up. Up that, hillbilly!

I will trade a custom made knife for that Chevelle, no cash from your side, straight up. Had to edit, might be an El Camino, offer still stands.

Finished these two, don’t know what to call them, any ideas? Top one is for a purse. I sketch these out and just make them from perusing many knife shapes.

So nice, have not seen a bevel pattern like that.

Please do keep us posted with photos, enjoy seeing things being built.

I have made 4 now and each one has gotten better.
