Well done, I like the way the light etch makes your new signature stand out.

Will, that is really great! From the steel pattern to the lines on this one. You nailed it!

Great looking knife.
I like the look with the light etch.
Subtle, but it makes you look twice.
Thank you very much everyone. Looking forward to making next ones.![]()
THAT looks like it is an awesome cutter and it looks nice, too.![]()
Very nice, Will. That W pattern does some interesting things when you draw it out, doesn't it?
Yep it sure does. I have a petty in the same billet here, w's got a bit lost on that one. I think I might compress less and cut the billet in half up the middle next time. Ferry flip would be the one, still need to get a decent bandsaw for the 45 degree cuts.
You are going to get some stretching when you weld up, even with the flip, but in the case of the thin blades for kitchen knives, I think that the best way to do would be to start with a THICK flip billet, squish it down far enough to get everything nice and solid and then cut it up into slices like a big "loaf" mosaic billet. Easier said than done for use poor schlubs that don't have uber cool monster metal cuting bandsaws with blade welders and cooling sysems, but we can dream, right?![]()
