It will be the last knives I will be making for a while because I'm off to London to work at the Olympics for three months. I was hired as exec chef for the main athlete's village. Big challenge, but no knife making :( and I'll miss Jim Clow's hammer in! :( :( I will check in from time to time...

The knives are 440C stainless, cut from 3/16 plate. Hardened to 58 RC, this is my 9-inch pattern. The scales are zebra wood, with mosaic pins in the French blade, brass in the paring knife. Hope you like it. Have a great summer, all!
Cheers,
Chris

Our local photographer friend, David Peterson, of Peterson Studios, Manti, UT, will photograph them all for the annual Fair Book; so in early July I'll be able to post that photo. They will be auctioned off at the Fair on Saturday, August 18, 2012. Here is a list of the makers involved, all of whom have grown-up, lived, or are presently living in Sanpete County, Utah.

In this half of the tutorial I show you how to make the template, cut out the profile of the knife blade, drill the holes for the handle and file the bevels for the sharp edge of the knife.

I did an etch with a mild acid.....Bar Keepers Friend.....I wanted an interesting patina and a false hamon.....





This is the first leather work I have ever done.....basic sheath, saddle stitched (crooked), welt and belt loop...left natural and treated with mink oil.....






The next is a friction folder with whitetail antler crown. It was sun bleached white, so I stained it. The blade came from stainless ( I think) blade stock. The throwaway knife was a beat up chefs knife. The tang is hand twisted... I love my oxy/propane torch for small jobs like this. The pin is brass mosaic.....





Better pics of the folder to follow....I know that they are not perfect, but I am making headway...... ]]> The Newbies Arena Pairomedicsfish http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58766 New User Pic and URL Posting http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58765&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 20:49:07 GMT Hi Everyone, This is Mike with AtlantaVirtual.com.

Como eu colo muitos de meus cabos:
Antes de tudo faça o cabo e encaixe na lâmina o melhor possível. Ajuste perfeito é o
melhor, mas nem sempre eu o faço. Uso bastante um material como junta
(couro impregnado com super bonder)
Sei que a maioria valoriza um encaixe perfeito, eu também...na faca dos outros.
Nas minhas sai do jeito que eu estou a fim no momento. Como quase tudo que liga dois materiais diferentes tem uma junta( motores, trilhos, dentaduras, pivôs, aparelhos, maquinas, dedadores) algumas facas também tem, principalmente as minhas. Questionar o padrão faz parte do jogo, principalmente quando nenhuma pesquisa existe na área. Ou seja ninguem ainda provou se uma faca com ou sem junta é melhor ou pior...mas isso é outro assunto.
O passo que antecede ao 1 é colar a base do cabo com cola super bonder, com ou sem junta. Deve ter uma união sólida pq senão a cola escorre para a lâmina.
Coloque as facas na bancada como a foto 1, pode ser no torno de bancada ou cravando a ponta em uma madeira. Misture adequadamente a cola epoxi líquida. Escorra pelo furo do cabo lentamente para não criar bolhas, foti 1, 2 e 3. Observe em 3 os cabos cheios.
nas fotos 4, 5 e 6 vc observa a colocação do pomo fundido em latão com banho de níquel.
Deixe curar e de o acabamento. Para remover só quebrando a madeira.

I am an old f**t newbie. I have been a goldsmith for 30+ years and have just retired. I WANT TO MAKE KNIVES. Not for sale as I have made "stuff" for people long enough...knives will be just for me.

From browsing this fine forum, I see that I am lucky enough to have a lot of equipment that is of cross purposes between jewelry and knife making. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it :).

I hope to learn a LOT and contribute what I can. AND, thanks for having me. ]]> The Newbies Arena goldsmithy http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58762
