I've been following his work for a little while and it seems nice.
Thanks. A lot to like there. Some very good knives coming out of Oz...This is actually a collaboration project that I’m doing with Jeff for charity. Doing a passaround first and then will either auction it off or do a raffle with the proceeds going to an animal rescue. The grind itself is in the middle to heavy-middleweight territory. Blade measures 245x54 and weights 201g without a handle. 3.5mm spine at the handle and tapers down nicely to the tip. Here’s a choil shot. Grind feels like a high wide bevel with softened shoulders.

I was playing around with a broken synthetic aoto and ended up making finger stones with it. Figured I play around with polishing before I eventually get some jnats and nicer finger stones.

Just bench stones polish. Very tight progyrssion to clean the scratches well and finish diluting the slurry until it's just water. The stone I used to finish there was a fine Mikawa Nagura which greatly helps as it gives amazing details but with this knife I can show the clouds to some extent on most stones.
