Right, so I promised a few pics of the process involved in making Serratas.
The first six are from the start to the end of the investment casting process. There’s some descriptions of what’s going on here.
The last two are of a blade post heat treat and etch. The close up shows a bit of what makes these knives different - they are toothy. The casting process means the steel is grainy, for want of a better word, and this gives the blade a micro-saw like edge. They are excellent slicers, and sharpen well (I believe the recommended maximum grit is 400). However, as they are made of cast steel they are not suitable for batonning or prying.
The pic above is of a Serrata - a cast steel knife made, in various formats, by Stuart Ackerman (sometimes known as Zackerty). He stopped making these a while back due in part to the cost of making them - there’s a few posts in this thread explaining this. Despite knowing this, it hasn’t stopped some of us (myself included) clamouring for him to make some more. And, well, it looks like sometimes wishes might come true.
There’s this thread, in which he’s gauging how much interest there might be (and includes a couple of posts showing how they’re made - I’ll post some pics later).
And then there’s this thread, which is basically a tentative order list (no obligation to buy at this stage)
And he also has this to say about it:
Oh yes...
One customer will get another Serrata free after the batch has been completed...
Might be full size...might be smaller..., might be really unique....
Just thought that you all should know...
So if you’ve ever fancied a new Serrata instead of hoping one shows up second hand, this might be your chance. Pop over to the forum, sign up (basic membership is free, and we’re a friendly bunch) and stick your name on the list if you’re interested.
The Spyderco Lil’ Nilakka has been getting a lot of love over on the forum. However, one member wasn’t especially taken with the scales, so made some replacements out of Mexican Kingwood. The result is as per the pic, and looks rather stunning. They’ve also rounded the edges of the scales for comfort.
Another first timer - Ben10 made this slicey-looking kitchen knife from O1 steel and olive wood. More info behind the link above.
And one of the things I love about this community is the help established makers are prepared to offer newcomers.

Moving on from established makers to first timers now. This is an American-style tanto by forum member Ian Weston. More details, including the lessons he’s learned from this, by following the link above.
More damascus - this time a less subtle pattern on a hunter by Old Oak Knives. There’s a bit of info and some more pics here.
Some more goodness from Owen Bush - this time a broken back seax. Click to embiggen to really see and appreciate the rather subtle damascus pattern. His comments on it:
This is a 5 bar seax blade. It is constructed from vintage wrought iron, then 2 layers of 7 layer alternating twist and another layer of wrought iron and 700 layer random pattern Damascus at the edge.
The blade is handled in elm and Lether and copper and sheathed in leather. The sheath has an ajustable strap to alter the angle of the dangle.
