Side Project: Knife Build #2 (Part 1)

First knife was for my Dad, this one is for a certain favorite Uncle of mine…

Started with 01 tool steel blank, made a paper template then traced and cut it out with a small hacksaw.


Used a simple jig to get the primary bevel set..
Had a small BBQ party. Roasted the knife and dropped in oil.

After the BBQ and you can see the grind got thin down towards the ricasso but its fixable…

On to final completion…

 

Looks good! And I like the way you heat treated the knife .

I may go to a propane forge for the next build but seriously a guy should have the hot dogs ready when using this method or its just a waste of good bbq action! :stuck_out_tongue:
