Nakiri. Part of a 3 knife for set for Germany

 

[Cliff Carter Knives]

Knife for a good buddy who spends most of his time on a boat in the Atlantic. LC200N steel, titanium pins and a carbon fiber tube. Modeled after the winkler belt knife.

Here's one I ground in 2018 and it sat on a shelf ever since. I finished it while waiting for a batch to get back from HT, got em today! Just under 12" in 440C and Chechem scales with Nickel Silver Bolsters and I still need to burnish the sheath edges. I need to build some inventory for an off road event coming up in March.

This one's twin is in Nome AK where it was last seen scraping seal skins.

I'm a brand new knife maker hobbyist and working on my first knife. The examples here are spectacular. Wow!
It's a small EDC little blade based on a beginner's template on Red Beard Ops' TY channel. Have some basic tools and built a beveling jig from Gough, so slowly getting stuff together. Got all the materials to build a little forge out of insulated fire bricks like on Outdoor55's YT channel. That's the next little project while I file and sand the blank to shape. I have the bevels done, now just need to sand it up to 320 before trying my hand at using the forge. I have a test scrap to practice with the forge before trying it out on the real thing. Have Canola oil to quench as it's 1084 steel, which I understand can be quenched in Canola Oil. This site is unbelievable. What a great resource!

Thanks, appreciate it! I've started to really enjoy working with handle designs.

Do you mind if I steal ..... errrr .... "borrow" some of the ideas? (like specifically those multi-layer separator segments?)

Haha, of course not.

Heat treated my first A8 Mod blank. Came out dead straight, and pretty hard too. I knocked it down all the way to 61 Hrc after a third temper
This 6" long and 0.173" thick blade is going out to a special forces dude. Let's see how it goes..

Slick design. Looking forward to a non-kitchen blade of yours any special ideas for the holes or are they just weight reduction, 2 pins and lanyard hole, bolster?

Got a new shop dog late last week. He's a fast learner, but can only work about 10 minutes without taking a nap.

 

[Scaniaman]

Thanks! Yes, trying to get away from kitchen knives a little
No, nothing special about the holes. 2 holes for corby bolts and one for lanyard tube. Rest is for epoxy bridges.

Thank you, his name is Wyborn, Wybie for short. My daughters loved this animated movie called Coraline when they were younger, and he is one of the main characters.

Special forces? No wonder it is 0.17” stock!

Yes, very thick stuff indeed.
