This is a 3V chef I made. 9.5" blade and stall mat handles It is not the prettiest to look at, but with a super thin sharp edge it is a crazy cutter

I take the intended purpose of the knife in account. I just finished two chef knives that were at .003" before sharpening. The Camp Chopper I just did was .025" before sharpening. Sometimes I will leave the big knives a little thicker and dress a tall blended convex edge on them. Most...

I use Gorilla Glue to put liners to scales and when I am doing bolsters. This lets me pre-assemble everything. After the Gorilla Glue set I drill some holes through the liner to the scales so the epoxy can adhere to the scales as well, kinda like small hidden pins of epoxy. All my attaching...

I used a Craftsman as well for about a year and never had that problem. Late last year I bought a Grizzly and never looked back at the Craftsman. I was amazed at the difference and the belt selection to boot. Glad you got it running.

That is one of the nicest looking "Santoku's" I have seen in a while.

That is nice. I like the grinds and the way they flow.

These are two knives I finished over the weekend. I would appreciate you guys thoughts on them. This is a 9.5" chef from CPM 154 HT'ed to 61 Rc. Desert Ironwood scales with a very nice (I think) Scotchbrite finish. This is a new design for me I call my Practical Tactical Camp Knife...

I like the looks of the mill scale left on the Santoku with the opposite side polished. Nice work.

My wife designed something similar to your top knife for me to make. I think it is a functional design for surveyors or land owners.

Nice knife. Lots of belly will work great. That is some good looking Koa.

My name is Chris Berry I am a machinist for my day job, and part time maker on nights and weekends. I have been in a life long love affair with knives. I drive my wife and coworkers crazy talking about knives constantly. I have been making knives for a little over a year, and started because...

If you are farming out the heat treat yoou could also consider M4 for your high carbon and S90V for your stainless. I had my M4 treated by Peters to 64 Rc and the edge holding is absolutely amazing. I have yet to grind any S90V but it is on order. Another carbon steel to look at is CPM 3V. I...
