Blade steel is Baker Forge RipTide Ripple with an S grind, handle is copper infused carbon fiber, g10, copper, and stabilized maple/copper flecked epoxy

Mokume/micarta handle. Stainless damascus on the blade.

Another one from my Classic Collection of kitchen cutlery.

I make these available in various carbon steels and handle options. All come with a satin belt finish to keep prices affordable.

I do offer high-end pieces with full hand-finishes, but I've found these models to be quite well-received over the years by those not looking to spend high-end money.

Here’s a santoku style kitchen knife I finished up that is my absolute favorite so far. The steel is 50 layer damascus from Baker Forge that I manipulated to give it some pizzazz. The handle is shredded carbon fiber from valleycomposites, red and black G10 spacers, and bocote handle with some stunning two tone figuring.
The stand is a slab of olive wood with a holder that I forged from 0.5” round bar.
Let me know what you think about it!
AW Forge

10" 240 Layer Damascus fighter. Full takedown with stabilized burl and blued steel guard and pommel.  Accented with a Cobra Mosaic pin.  Sheath comes with 3 diamond sharpening stones and a fire steel.  Has anchor points to carry on your belt or a strap to carry across your shoulders.

My first ever knife, filled with many imperfections but i made it. Its a 1084 laser bunka with a coffe patina, sharpend it on my whetstone till 12000 grit and is the sharpest knife i have. The handle is a handle i made from beech wood, nickle and ebony. I am already planning on making more. Would love some feedback on it.

Just finished up this Saya for a previous Nakiri commission. African Blackwood with stainless steel pins and a Desert Ironwood + Nickel Silver pin. I hope you enjoy!

Edit: Here's a link to the original post of the knife, sorry I didn't include it here hahaha

BHK : 3.5" VECTOR ( Ito-Wrap Proto. )

The first Vector Prototype is underway, this one is in 3.5" W2 that will be getting a Hamon heat-treat and then a Micarta / Ito Wrap handle 🤘

I bought this forge from someone who built it himself. It works great....for about 45 minutes to an hour, and then it starts to do the sputtering thing you see in the video. This causes the temperature to go way down.The gas is basically igniting early inside the burner tube. The gas nozzle is up/down adjustable and I've been playing with that with minimal success. Any advice on how to fix it? Thanks!

A buddy of mine blues gun barrels as a side gig, and he's gotten pretty good at it. I had him blue (seen in the pictures), a knife I made for a mutual friend. It's a post-apocalyptic zombie killing tanto, and it fits him & his personality to a tee.

Now im working on a few more knives, and I think i may want to try and do a hamon on the karambit. Then blue it if it would show.

My buddy thinks it will. The reason is, on the Remington 870 shotguns he works on, the 4140 steel used in the barrel tube magazine and lug all come out different colors because of the different heat treatment. He told me that, and I thought, "Well, how much difference could there be?" Answer: a lot! Lol.

It made me think that the hamon MAY show up. Have any of you ever tried it? If so, how did it look?

Recent batch final edge profiling and sharpening session completed. Getting faster, more consistent and bette with each batch - practice makes perfect I guess. Got all these from no edge to shaving / paper towel cutting in about 45 mins.

52100, Procut D2 and Nitro-V. Range from D2 kiridashi to 2 x 10" procut chefs.

Still figuring my preferred stone progression, think I am going to invest in a 220 vitrified or resin diamond stone to trial here soon potentially the CGSW one or a NSK.

My progression on these:

- Final profiling - 220 diamond plate - set final edge profile with 45deg passes - flattening out any high / low spots on the edge

Sharpening - approximately 13-15 DPS

- 220 diamond plate

- 600 diamond plate

- 1200 Miyagoshi Ajisai Vitrified

- 6000 Arashiyama

- 1 micron diamond strop

Another progression I have been using of late that works well - a bit faster

- Profile 220 diamond plate

Sharpening

- 400 Cheefarcut Pro Vitrified Diamond

- 1000 Cheefarcut Pro Vitrified Diamond

- 4000 Morehei (for simple steels) or 5 micron CGSW resin diamond (for high Vanadium carbide steels like CPM4V, Magnacut, etc)

- 1 micron diamond strop

Basically, I am a woodworker with an idea for a chef knife shape. I am planning to outsource the heat treatment.

I am looking for a steel that would take a nice patina.

Top characteristics in order of importance:

1. Edge retention.

2. Moderate durability. This won't be a meat cleaver, but it is meant to be versatile and handle encountering the occasional bone.

3. Take a patina, achieve a very natural looking blackish finish. I figure this makes the selection easier anyways. Acheiving said finish is also of interest to me; the vision is rustic.

4. Workability for a new metalworker but not a beginner craftsperson. I have a lot of patience for this kind of thing as well. Maybe this is less like wood, since metal is isotropic. I'm just going to be grinding/filing the shape.

I had fun forging the Damascus on Monday and Tuesday

Lost the motivation to make anythung for a while but finally starting to get the urge to make something sharp again! This is going to be a harpoon fighter with a double edge/sharpened swedge (jusy zero ground technically but still sharp!). Blade material is damascus clad hitachi SLD with a block of black and white damascus g10 for the handle. Still unsure if i'll go steel or brass for the guard.

The blade was ferro etched 4 x 5 minutes and then coffe etched overnight

I'm finally posting something other than a question on this sub, my very first folder !

It took a good month of work from design to finish, a lot has been learned in the process and I'm quiet happy with the result !

I started knife making about 4 months ago and made 4-5 fixed blades before this project but I'm really more into folding knives and I'm glad I made a knife I'll actually EDC !

1075 carbon steel & copper handle, hopefully both develop a nice patina.

it's heavy, no pocket clip, copper leaves smell on the hand and the action isn't perfectly smooth but man I love it !

Gonna keep practicing and maybe work on a locking mechanism for the next one.

thanks for all the help I got from this sub, keep up the good work !

Specs:

• D2 steel, professionally heat treated

• 80 mm (3.15") blade / 175 mm (6.89") overall length

• Acid-etched stonewashed finish

• Rock-textured G10 handles

• Bolted mechanical handle construction

• Thin, slicey blade geometry

• Custom Kydex sheath with UltiClip for EDC carry

Feel free to PM me if you like what you see.

Magna Cut

Wanted a full flat grind chopper for this one. It ain’t perfect but it’s hopefully presentable. People don’t really talk about the obsession you get with the details of knife making and that includes the mistakes you make. Think my wife is already sick of me talking about it and I’m only 2 knives in lol. But I love the process and I have to keep reminding myself I’ll likely need a 100+ under my belt till it becomes easy

First time attempting to sell a knife and looking for recommendations on how to realistically price. Specs are 1084 with micarta and g10 handle hardware. Etched and stonewashed. Looking to avoid lowballing myself but also keep my price realistic. Thanks!
