Hello ! a couple of pics of stuff I have been working on lately (got the bug quite badly at the moment ) The set of 4 knives are wrought iron and mild steel (with a pinch of 15n20 for contrast), with a Ni barrier over Hitachi blue steel, The handles are olive and ebony. The largest knife is 210mm edge. These are my second try at a 'set' of knives.
The grinds are ever so slightly convex, about 0.006" just behind the edge.
The 2nd of the 'pair of parers' (or really small pettys?) 100mm cutting edge, was as near as I have got to my first commission :O - i made the original in O1 with zebrawood handle, and did not rate it personally, but my better half took ownership and loves it, and its become a 'goto' in the kitchen. Someone else really liked it, so I tuned the profile & handle profile a tiny bit, and made the next one with blue2 core. I think if I do Mk.3 I will start to like it !
Anyhoo, all feedback appreciated
