New guy here...hobby knifemaker who just got a lathe. Now I'm really dangerous!:lmao:
Some of my blades...
My personal light hunter:
and of course, my shop helper:
I use a lot of 154CM and its cousins, and pretty much have stuck to fixed blade kitchen and hunting type knives thus far. I have taken my own trees from standing live to sawmill to solar kiln dried. That is not a project for the weak kneed or impatient! I'm no expert knifemaker by far, but I have a lot of fun and the few I sell get good reviews...so the buyers seem happy!
My primary machine for shaping blades and handles is my 6" Coote 2x72 belt grinder with a 1Hp motor.
See y'all around!
