[nortoncb]

Hi all

I'm Norton, knife making hobbyist from Brazil.
I love this forum! It's full of great tips and great people!
I'd like to share some photos of the last work in progress and finished knives.
Thanks all knifedogs for the excellent knowledge platform of knifemaking!

This is a kitchen knife gifted to a friend. Its made of 5160 carbon steel.

Yes, made this way to better show de wood grain. This wood is called Ipê roxo (Handroanthus impetiginosus).
I know this may not be the strongest attachment for the scales.

Very nice indeed! Question: what is the line running length wise with the blade? Is that engraved? I’m ignorant.

Its corrosion with nitric acid.
If you guys are interested I can do a tutorial the next time I use this technique.
