Looks far less dangerous than my heel out! I'd take that and trade you my F&R. It bats me up like ... dickens.... every time... disclaimer-- To be clear, I am not attempting a purchase or trade in open forum... :(Quote:

Of course in Ebony...
Ebony truly is sh*t wood from a structural pov. Breaks, splinters, has no strong grain...Quote:

First four from the left/top are out of O-1 tool steel.
First knife is a new handle material from Janz knife supply, it's corncob. I'm keeping this one.
Second is handled in desert ironwood.
Two razors, still need to final grind them.
Last is a problem I am dealing with, I have access to a lot of railroad car springs and it's just not working out for me dang it...steel is falling apart, literally.

The knives look nice, though a bit too bulky imo.
Btw, you might want to make a small cut between the edge and the shoulder. Otherwise once you start honing it you'll always have a part near the shoulder that never touches the stone correctly.
Ya, I usually use a small round file before HT, now I will have to break out the dremel. You would have thought I would have learned/remembered that by now. Believe it or not, those big blades sell here in the US better than the small more useful ones. Folks are wearing them as a fashion accessory believe it or not.
