    Stone WIP

    Still thinking about how I will attach the scales. No front and rear bolsters this time. But I will relieve the edges of the scales away from the spine. I would like to go with no visible fasteners, in order to avoid drilling all the way through the stone. If not, I’ll use screws so the scales...

    Stone WIP

    Been awhile… I ruined the knife I wanted to put these scales on. I’m working with 26c3 now, a new to me steel - and I think I have a knife design which will go well with it and the stone.

    …the design in the sheath is striking, too

    Hello, here is a Nordic Sanmai

    I especially like the contrast in the blade - both in the bevels and the spine.

    Question on attaching extension to tang

    this is for a small knife - 3/32 tang and 1/8 rod i think its good to have three points of contact on the solder joint. i tried adding a head this time for a little more grip. i used silver solder that jantz sells. I think It flows at 1200 degrees. Sorry for being brief - the kids want the computer.

    Much respect Gliden, But personally I think it's good to support the US economy right now.

    Second knife is in the recycle bin. I had a hard time refining the grain, so it was getting smaller and smaller like this one. This video has additional photos on the grind and shows a knife with a fuller higher up from the edge than most of the other yakut knives I've seen so far online...

    yakut knives

    Making knife parts Got some fit up done on the front bolster, spacer, and the handle material. Rear bolster was about done, but the hole was off centered, so it's not going to work. I might try my first heirloom fit on this knife.

    Anler scales!

    Wow, good job. I've always been scared to try.

    yakut knives

    Since the handle material is already pretty old and not stabilized, I'm doing two bolsters with a tang extension. Even though it is weathered it will clean up. Honestly, I hope I didn't create a weak area above the bolster and I have this for a long time.

    yakut knives

    Thanks, I'll search it up a little, too,. Now I have more of an idea what to watch for and I'll look at the Puronvarsis. I'd like to see how to sharpen grinds that come to zero. I want to figure out this knife - how it works and how it sharpens. I used it a little and the flat/convex...

    What is your take on a scandi grind? i haven’t done one before. do you run the primary bevels all the way to the edge?

    yakut knives

    I do want to make another one already. Larger, with a fuller forged closer to the edge. The metal didn’t want to move into the opposite side like i thought too, b/c the anvil face. It spread out the width, which makes sense, too. You can tell by that last picture. I had’t ground out the bow in...

    I did some rough shaping on it tonight. I brought the bevels down to what seemed to be a realistic width. I ground too far again

    yakut knives

    I agree, I think it's meant for bushcraft, hunting, etc. I don't think it's what I'd want for any kind of food prep. But the videos mention food prep, so maybe with some experimenting, you could figure out the right edge geometry for even starchy foods. Mine will be small, so I could do that...

    at about 3:42 Combine that picture with dc knives grind calculator for adjustng to the height of the blade. Then land at about .030 - .020 behind the edge? That's where I'm at for now, until I get back out there. Thanks for the videos. I'll have a look here pretty soon.
