3 diffrent knives from the same template
Here's my next 3 knives ground ready for Pin holes and pre HT hand sanding to fix a couple small wobbles in the grind lines. I wanted to try to make 3 knives from the same template but do each one a bit different from the next.
All are 10" OAL with 5" Blades Top one is an almost full height hollow grind from 1/8" 440c Middle one is about a 2/3 height hollow grind from 1/8" 440c added a swedge to this one. Bottom one is also a 2/3 height hollow grind this one is from 3/16" 440c this one also has a swedge but gave this one a subtle recurve. I want to try bolsters for the frist time on one of them, most likely the first one. I have some 1" x 3/4" nickle silver bar stock with pins of the same comments or critiques welcomed and encouraged. __________________ StaySharp |

Nice. As for bolsters, everyone should try them at least once. Prepare to suffer

hi man, wonderful knives.
I'm a new knife maker, and I wonder if you can send me the template for that knife. I really love that style of knife, but I have no idea what size to do that and every time I'm trying to draw that style it looks like sh**. roy |

Did you mean you want to make a guard with the 1" x 3/4" material? If you meant bolsters you might want to use either 1/4" thickness or better yet 3/16". On 1/8" stock really thick bolsters look out of proportion. My 2 cents
