Hi
Just wanted to share my first knife project.
Bought an Artisan Supplies knife kit more than 5 years ago and it sat in the cupboard until last weekend still in its packet Couldn’t do much outside with all this rain so had a go.
1/8” 1075 steel, Gidgee scales (bought some orange G10 liners), brass pins and lanyard tube.
I used a 1x30 belt sander, rasps, files, small Bernzomatic firebrick forge, canola oil quench, sandpaper, polishing pads, strop, lenght of wood planed with a 7 degree side to use as a grinding guide.
Followed the instructions supplied and ground a 14 degree (incl.) primary bevel with 40 degree secondary bevel.
Just finished the veg tanned leather sheath this afternoon (election knife
)
Anyway, here is the result
