WIP nearly finished
This is the second, and last, scandi grind knife that I'm building. I've found that it's a deceptively hard grind to do, at least for me. It's 7" OAL with a 2 3/4" long blade of 1084. It's also 7/8" wide and 1/8" thick at the ricasso. The blade was, triple normalized, full hardened and tempered at 425?. I decided to do this one without a pin due to the blade being so small it wouldn't be used for chopping. Besides, I forgot to lay out and drill the pin hole in the blank before shaping the handle .
The handle is quilted maple, I guess that like tiger maple but a buck more a board foot, stained with dark chestnut stain coated with 5 coats of boiled linseed oil. The tang was soldered into a brass ferrel. I've use that stain before on another piece of quilted maple and it came out darker than this one. I waiting for a course water stone to come in to finish the bevels and cleaning up the patina from where I checked to see if Aldo's 1084 was shallow enough hardening to do an auto differential hardening. Evidently the blade was too thin to do that. Doug IMG_0203.JPG IMG_0204.JPG IMG_0205.JPG __________________ If you're not making mistakes then you're not trying hard enough |

Alan Blade is the only person I have ever known who could consistently do a Scandi grind. Deceptively hard is putting it mildly...

You could always cheat a little and give it a really tiny edge bevel
I found that a really REALLY slow speed belt sander is the best way to finish up the scandi grind and then of course all the slow stone work (or sand paper which ever works for you) The handle looks really comfortable. __________________ J, Saccucci Knives, JSK |
