I decided to try and make some knives.
Bought a sheet of 3,5mm thick O2 steel and cut out the profiles, then did a rough grind with some taper on all of them. One of the bigger knives is ground thinner than the other to check how thin I can go without warping during ht. These are all just a tad thicker than 1mm where the edge will be. Thw bigger obes are 225mm long and 52-53mm tall. The smaller one is 163mm long and a tad over 40mm long.
I'm posting the pictures to seee what I did wrong and can still fix before ht and what to do better on the next ones. What I think looking at them is that the bigger ones' tangs are going up a bit too steeply and don't know if and how to fix it.
Im sending them to ht this monday.
Thanks in advance KKF
