My new favorite wood. Buckeye burl. A chefs knife.
Had a piece of 3/32 1095 catch my eye yesturday in the shop. Decided to try another kitchen knife. This one for my wife so I can use and abuse it in the kitchen.
This time I heat treated before grind. So I profiled the blade and tossed it in the forge. Where it promptly curled up like a leaf. . Took 2 tries to get it straight before I could even think about quenching. Then it warped again. I hate thin steel. But those hurdles were over come. I wanted to try a no plunge line grind and it worked pretty good. Then I grabbed a little non descript block I had been saving labled buckeye burl. I cut it into slabs and was excited to see how cool it looked inside. I'm not gonna lie. I like this knife. I'm glad it's staying here. |

Your wife should get plenty of good use out of that knife. What was the steel that you used?
