Made up two kitchen knives this year for one of the kids.
One 8 inch chef's knife and one 7 inch Santuku.

First done was the chef's knife with Zebrawood handle and brass corby bolts.

Next day was the Sanduku, again with Zebrawood.
The handle scales were attached with 1/4 inch corby bolts and West System epoxy.

Sanded to 400 grit and then finished with fine and superfine steel wool using Tung oil.

I've never made a knife. Never thought about it.
However, this has got me thinking....
I may need to chase a thread or more and consider what goes into the effort and process.
These are really nice!!

For a good glimpse of the technology - check out the "Forged in Fire" episodes on the History channel. They load it up with commercials, but they do a good job on the content.
 
Yes, I've seen a few of the forged in fire.
Interesting entertainment.
However, I've doubted it's "how to" value.
Perhaps it really is that simple. Well, simple if you aren't on a stop watch and can think through the problem set...

agree on the "how to" value -- its made for TV non-technical and can only gloss over the technical. There is much going on that they don't say - but some of those guys are pretty good.
