When you need to a temper a blade that’s slightly (40cm or so ) bigger than your kiln ( 24” deep paragon ) . I have rotated the 2 blades that I was tempering making sure they got exposed to same temperatures and time and check with thermocouple, all good .

Something new for me in works ,
A keyhole integral gyuto. This design was found by @r.sfreddoknives and I was lucky to be at the blade symposium few years ago to watch his presentation about keyhole construction. I already have trashed 2 blocks of nice Arizona ironwood prior to heat treatment, I hope to finish this knife soon and use less than 5 blocks to get it right 🤦‍♂️

I was away for the last week ,
Although I missed my shop I had plenty of time to think what I would like to make and what’s next for me in my knifemaking journey. In many recent builds where it started with a vision and an idea what I have completed resulted better than some of the things I have been doing over for so many times and given me more satisfaction. There are styles that I don’t do as often as I used to and I have been working to add new elements and techniques to my repertoire. I believe I have a better Vision for what I want to do from now , thanks for being part of my journey.

P.s i have tried not to do much work correspondence and social media upkeep, I will get to your messages/emails shortly

Cross cut stabilised Tasmanian Blackwood ( Acacia

Cross cut stabilised Tasmanian Blackwood ( Acacia melanoxylon) handle of the integral Damascus Gyuto I have just finished. When I first saw this timber at @otway_fiddleback s page and noticed the curls at an angle I had a vision. I was going to take some alternating bars of Damascus and 1084 and twist them to match the flow of the handle grain with the flow of the pattern . Check the video of the knife couple posts prior in my timeline to see the whole thing . Nature never ceases to amaze me

It has been a while since I posted a booty shot .
