Today is heat treat day for some kitchen axes. Nothing exciting to take pictures of because of the wait time during the tempering process. So, I had plenty of time to finish these 2 knives up. The knife on the left is made from 5160 leaf spring steel. Hand forged and ground to shape. Satin finished bevels with gun blued flats. Then hand sharpened and honed. The handle is cherry wood that has been soaked in a water proofing oil mix, dried, waxed, & buffed. It is finished off with 1/4" aluminum dowel pins. Available for $125 shipped! Add a kydex sheath for $25. The knife on the right is made from a lawn mower blade. I started off by forging it flat and into its rough shape. The bevels have a satin finish and has been hand sharpened and honed. The handle is walnut wood that is soaked in my waterproofing oil, dried, waxed, and buffed. It is also finished off with 1/4" aluminum dowel pins. Available for sale for $75 shipped! Add a kydex sheath for $25. Call, email, message, etc... all payments accepted!
