First Kitchen Knife

[Randy Lucius]

Making a small kitchen knife for a friend. Should work fine for making tomato sandwiches. I'll post some more pics when it's finished.




Also have these eight heat treated that I'll be working on this week.

We have 'car boot sales' here and you can buy old carving/kitchen knives for less than £1 which usually only need a good clean and sharpen, sometimes a new handle.
I have rescued quite a few for family, friends and neighbours

Very nice handle Lucius.

The blue on that handle really pops

Still a little clean up work to do but it's basically finished.
The blue is actually a little brighter in person. Light was fading when I took the pics.
More knives coming next week.

nice! what is the handle material in front of the blue material?

 

[bladegrinder]

That's a nice looking knife right there. nice polish too, what kind of steel did you use

 

[Justin Presson]

Very nice work and the others you have ready have really nice lines.

C Craft told me one time to post the specs of my knives when I post pictures but I neglected to do so. Sorry Craft. Right now all of my knives are made from 1084 purchased from NJ Steel Baron. Since I don’t have a heat treating oven it’s a steel that I can handle here at home. An oven is on the purchase list. Handle material on the knife is some blue burlap micarta and coconut fiber. This one was #36. Thanks for the comments. It’s greatly appreciated!
