Finally started doing my part on this collaboration between me and my buddy Shawn @hatcherknives , he did his part over a year ago.
Got this one completed. Here are the details.
• 80crv2 with a bead blasted and tumbled finish.
• African Blackwood
• Black G10 liners and pins
Got this little kitchen knife forged, normalized annealed and did some grinding on it.
One of boys started on his first knife today. He got it profiled.
Been wanting one of these for a while and got the chance pick one up from @poor.jim today. Can’t wait to put it to use.
Today butt shot. Probably the smallest taper so far.
That hamon came out pretty cool.
Decided against the bluing and went with bead blasted and stonewashed. Really happy with this finish.
A few progress pics. Bead blasted and then soaking in black oxide. I did not like the black oxide finish. The solution may have been old. I instead went with Casey birchwood super blue. That worked better, but still not exactly what I was looking for. I may just bead blast it and tumble it. The bead blasted finish was pretty nice.
This one is hand sanded, now it’s time to bead blast the blade and blacken it.
Got these profiles ground on the grinder.
Hand sanding time
Today’s butt shots are in progress and letting the oil dry.

Fresh off the grinder. Now to finish sanding by hand.
All glued up and ready to be shaped on the grinder.
Got them glued up.
