Here are two of the knives that I finished this weekend.
I have two that are exactly the same design because I was working on trying to get my hamons more controlled. I was having problems with blobby hamons so my buddy Ed Braun helped me out and showed me some clay up and gave me some thoughts to think over. Both have awesome distal taper from the ricasso to the tip. Thinly ground and feathered edges.
The first one is my heat treat. 5/32" thick, thermal cycled many times, Stabilized Checken Burl from Gerst Hardwoods.
The second one was done (Cut, Profiled, Ground, Polished, and handled) by me but heat treated by Ed Braun and has some of his signature "dots" in it. 5/32" thick, heat treated by Ed Braun, Stabilized Yellow Box Burl from Gerst Hardwoods. I like it and it has some extra stuff in the hamon.
