Something like this?

Wootz dagger
Fossilized stellers sea cow bone handle
stabilized mammoth molar bolster

Something like the 8$ one with a detachable handle? :p
But then an actual knife instead of a knife shaped object?

A large wootz kitchen knife I made for a colleague who wants to surprise her husband with it for his 40th birthday.

Shrunken like this you don't really see the pattern.

I like to make things that people actually use instead of putting them in a shadowbox.
Straight razors and kitchen knives are 2 of the things that people use when they buy them.

Up until now,...

No worries John, More knives will shortly be uploaded. :)

You may remember the issue with the camel bone scales.
I said that I had 2 sets. I used one, and was not going to buy any more.
I still had one set left that I was allowed to use, but after...

For the discerning gentleman: a peeling knife I made from a ribbon of Damascus I accidentally split from the slab. The handles are mammoth tusk bark.

This is a bit of a failed knife. When I was at Gudy's place we used his press to roll down a san mai billet with Damascus sides and an O2 core, and then put it in the press with ridged dies to make a...

Heavy chopper / vegetable knife to match the set that included the peeling knife higher on this page.

Technically not a Damascus but a san mai. A santoku I made for a friend. The steel is a san mai from Howard Clark. The sides are wrought iron, the core is 1086 modified. The wrought iron is from an...

Currently my kitchen knives are just made to sell with my own design.

Thanks.

This one I finished yesterday night (I can either sleep or sand. And I'll be grumpy in the morning either way, so usually I choose to be grumpy and being ahead on a knife project.) This is...

Kitchen knife I finished today. This is the wootz blade. The handle is a laminate of mammoth tusk ivory, with a core of purpleheart. The bolster is black horn. In the middle of the handle on each...

Peeling potatoes in style :)

This is the wootz knife after etching and sanding.
This is going to be fit with a handle that I am basically going to use as a proof of concept for setting gemstones in ivory.

Repeated cycles of sanding and etching in Ferric Chloride, going finer in grit as things progress.
For now I am more or less figuring it out 'on the go' in terms of how long to etch and when to...

First several rounds of etching and sanding in ferric chloride until the layers are revealed in 3D.
Then polishing by hand up to 1500 grit I think to make everything shiny.
Then dunked in very...

Both knives are on their way to their future owner.
As for the camel saga: here is the legion.

No i haven't, thanks for the tip. I will look into that.

First things first: I bought another 7 of those yellow and red camels second hand for a bargain. My brother's going to hide them at my mom's place where she can go and find them tomorrow on account...

I've finished handsanding both blades. In the pic you see the blade with its handle parts. The scales are camel bone, the middle layer is double neon green resin, and the bolster will be black horn....

No, not really. I've not made a pocket knife yet. Thought about it, but not a whole lot of forging is involved in making them. At the moment I am mainly making razors and kitchen knives.

Experience helps of course, but there are a couple of things you can do to increase the odds of it working out:

1) when you are forging, work both sides equally. I've found that this helps keeping...

Someone asked about it, so here goes. This is the work in progress thread for the Damascus santoku I am making (steel made by 32t during a previous meet at Mike Blue's shop) and a wootz meat slicer....
