    Lockdown end of week 3

    ..made a small caping knife from wife's old fruit bowl, wood unknown.
    Steel, old Solingen blade needed a lot of grinding to get the shape I wanted it.
    Brass pins and red micarta liners.
    Oal 18.5cm, blade 7.5cm, weight just over 50 grams

    Stay safe everyone!

    That is just wrong on so many levels. For a start the cheese should be a Castello Blue.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Finished this little fella up. Small petty/chefs knife for the missus. She's got tiny hands so wanted somthing to fit.

    1095 with a subtle hamon. Turned out pretty good. Is nice and thin behind the edge so glides through veggies and the like.

    One with the most work is going to be a nod at a Loveless drop point, the other an edc I have been thinking of.

    Normally only use western style knives from a couple of kiwi makers but thought I’d try something different, handmade Japanese Gyuto, these things are next level sharp and so nice to use. Main cutting edge is carbon but majority clad in stainless to help keep maintenance to a minimum. Definitely recommend giving one a go if you get the chance. Don’t bother if you’re rough on gear ��, they’ll last about 2 minutes.
