That is a good lookin knife!
This one will be visible ............ This is practice for project I m working on . . . two knives for my kids ....one with 21 , other one with 23 golden pins , Damasteel Thor for son and Damasteel Odins Eye for my daughterMaybe pin something in there that would have more of a contrast? Maybe something that will darken in an etch perhaps?
I like that knife , but if it is mine I will shape front of scale to follow plunge line .I think that will look better that way ?This one is almost done. Just needs to be sharpened. The wife's is similar but with red oak scales. I'll post that one up later
Good to see you're getting back on track.The injured finger is slow healing, making things difficult to get the finish where I want it. Another one to come back to later. This is the 2019 kith kitchen knife, model #2 provided by Warren (thanks, Warren!). Bolster is Bolivian rosewood with a hammered copper faceplate, faux antique oyster shell spacer and dyed black tiger striped maple handle with integral poplar dowel inside.

I thought about doing that. But I decided to keep it simple on this one. Still learningI like that knife , but if it is mine I will shape front of scale to follow plunge line .I think that will look better that way ?
I really like this idea!This one will be visible ............ This is practice for project I m working on . . . two knives for my kids ....one with 21 , other one with 23 golden pins , Damasteel Thor for son and Damasteel Odins Eye for my daughter
Thanks Last night I grind bevels , maybe best one I ever grind without correction... so far thing go in right way with this project .Plan is carbon fiber for scale with copper pins /4mm/ of course .I wonder ....thin cooper liners between carbon and steel ? ?? Or it will be to much ? I will etch knife in phosphoric acid so it will get some dark color to get more contrast between steel and cooper pins .Tomorrow I will try to heat pins in handle with some very small torch I have to see if I can get red color on them .Will see , so far so goodI really like this idea!
