Hello all! For those of you that don't know I recently relocated to Southern Minnesota and as such I got a nice new shop with some fun new tools. Another bonus being that there is another knife maker in the warehouse, Jason from the Lone Star Forge. I was going to wait to post this but I getting excited about it so I thought I would share. To start off I just bought some Fitz for the first time and I fell in love fast! Okay now onto the knife, I present a san mai fighter forged from 1095 and 1070, this one fought me a bit so the pattern on either side is nowhere near identical but I think it may give the knife some character. Another problem I had was I changed to a 48 inch inkler grinder and like all new machines there is a learning curve so sadly I had the belt jump on me a few times and the plunge lines and shoulders aren't all even. But this is the inaugural piece for this grinder and my shop so I know after getting to know it a bit better I can improve on the next knives. Updates to come tomorrow, Stephen Olivo is stopping by the shop so I'm not sure how much I'll end up getting done but let me know what you think and thanks for looking.
P.S. Knife specs: 16 inches over all, 9.5 of blade and 1.5 inch blade width.
