Pimp My Forgecraft

Take a 25$ chef knife..... (not mine on this pic.. mine was more beat )







And put another 250$ish on it

Tang shaped to fit WA. Custom 9 piece handle.




Etched Top


Regrind


Bigger Choil and rounded aswell as spine.


Mirror Bevel

Yeah, that's the coolist thing ever.

Wow! Have you used it after the pimping?

That choil shot made my loins tingle. :doublethumbsup:

Wow that is one really nice forgecraft. Nice work

Wow that is impressive

Can I send you my 10$ Ikea knife?

Yes i have used it and its like day and night from the orginal grind i have a 1k finish on it right now and its ok. but i think im gonna try a 3k finish and see if it hold that up good.

Looks great, gave me a few ideas for ones I have around here.

Pardon the newbie question, Is that a left handed grind seeing that is the side your bevel is on?

no its not a left handed grind. the mirror polish might make it hard to see the second bevel on the pics

A cheap date can always get a make over:hula:

Wow. Serious skills. Beautiful work.

That is a wonderful makeover. Makes me want one.

Really nice. So much for "I don't want to rehandle, the handle would be more than the knife"

This is the first forgecraft I like...

Really dig it. How long did the etch go for?

Though I keep accumulating knives, the ones I'm most fond of are the ones that have had work sunk into them to make them excellent users. I totally considered Forgecraft for a project knife, but held back because I was worried about having a soft edge.

Im not sure how long it was beeing etched for. The guy that did it used iron chloride. When you etch u can just lift and look and then take it out when your happy.
The Steel is on the softer side but right now it has a 1k edge and hold up pretty well. im gonna try 3k and see how long that holds. like my friend said. we like sharpening so doing touch ups more aften is just a +

Stunning!

Gorgeous handle and wow, that's the best FC blade I've ever seen! You must be stoked
