My first success silver inlay . Something i have been working on for a while . Also I haven’t had a chance to post anything new for a while , since I have already mentioned at the last episode of @knifemakingdownunderpodcast I figured I will give you an update here too . I got covid mid August and I wasnt well until the beginning of September, it took me another couple weeks to be able to get back into work shape . Now I have been finally healthy and I am back to work ( school holidays allowing) .
Thank you for all who checked on me and thanks for the messages

These 3 knives came back for refurbishing, the second one in picture is actually my first gyuto that I have made in 1095 , despite being relegated to fish butchery the knife and the steel is doing pretty good .
First one was a San mai in 52100 that I have made during my trip to @bill_burke_knives , last one was a starry night themed knife . It was a good trip to memory lanes to work on these knives ( 7 years old plus ) and see them turn into like new

This is one of the knives I had kept aside for the @sydneyknifeshow but with the cancellation of the show i will make it available , 169mm at the edge , 53 mm tall . 64hrc tested . Stainless clad with spicy white and nickel with an octagonal Arizona ironwood and African Blackwood handle

This must have been like seeing magic for the west

This must have been like seeing magic for the westerners when they saw this steel and it’s capabilities . What you see is the carbides and alloys in ultra high carbon steel that is very pure than everything at the time until late industrial revolution with unmatched cutting abilities. Lately I have immersed my self in re creating these patterns and it’s very easy to get inspirations when you look at something like this 300years old + shamshir from my collection .

This knife came in with few spots of rust that loo

This knife came in with few spots of rust that looked like maybe it could have been removed with a bit of metal polish and maybe fine sand paper. I couldn’t be more off with my prediction. While the corroded areas were small they were quite deep and required serious grinding, disc and hand sanding. I had to raise the tip couple of mm’s . The knife is refinished, handle is refinished as well giving the feeling like the day it arrived .
If you own carbon knives best maintenance you can do is allow them to build a strong patina . If they are not in use even if your knives are oiled they can pick up enough moisture from the air to create rust spots . Make sure to check on them once in a while to avoid this scenario
