I have a folding knife locking mechanism I think is patentable. I am working on a prototype, and trying to figure out the next steps to patent this. I have worked on patents as a drug discovery chemist, I am sure this is much simpler.

I think the previous owner thinned this knife. $200 shipped within the US.

I am not sure if this belongs in sharpening or shop talk, but I think the polishing aspect has broader appeal to polishers rather than just makers. I have gone way too deep down the rabbit hole! After listening to podcasts on the makery network namely knifetalk and XYZ, there have been...

I am copying the text of a post I made to a few knifemaking Facebook groups “ Sometimes you have to walk before you can run... I just tried sprinting. For my first heat treatment I tried differental hardening 26c3 bunkas. I am running this in my basement so I am trying an interrupted...

I wanted to try my hand at making a gyuto. Knowing my first few would be a learning experience, I ordered 5 blanks SAB -Wa profile from jarod Todd knives. Plasma cut and heat treated to 62 HRC in AEBL. I lent this one out to a local chef who really enjoyed it and said he would would be happy...

this is still coming along, I wish it had a little more convexing. the next one will. the profile also needs some tweaking... more to come.

I was looking at a knife rev posts elsewhere online and realizing, if I had to do it again, I would suggest a different route! I upgraded my blades, then realized I wanted/needed to become a better sharpener. I learned how to sharpen/tweak fit and finish on a blade/rehandle knives after I...

My wife and I were discussing this, I figured foodies and restaurant staff would have an option. You go to a decent restaurant and order a glass of wine. If you don’t like the sip they give you, do you accept the glass, or stop them before they pour the serving? My wife takes it, then...

I have started down the path of 3D printing. I am about to try printing a wa handle for my Dao santoku, is anyone else doing this? It is way easier than cutting and glueing wood. It does lack the soul of a nice burl or curly wood. Eventually I think it would be cool to 3D print wood...

Ok fellow KKFers. I have a Dao cleaver Bunka hybrid that has really grown on me since I thinned it. It is time for me to upgrade the handle from my stock. Originally I build the ringed gidee handle for this one, then I took a stab at trying the copper cap on stabilized ebonized oak. Now I...

It is time for me to look at some new coarse stones. Shapton pros are where I am leaning, and they are reasonably priced new. I wanted to check if anyone had anything laying around that they wanted to move.

Hi all, What do you think of hexagonal (6-sided) vs octagonal (8-sided) handles? I know from talking to other knifenuts and my handle clients, I don’t mind a wider array of sized handles compared to others. I am seeing a more and more hexagonal handles on Instagram. I hope you don’t mind...
