My first frame handle inspired from Yatağan, walrus ivory with hidden pins , 1080 steel frame that is heat blued . Way out of my comfort zone , took me lot longer than I would like to admit

One for the @perthknifeshow , 245mm sg2 gyuto in ringed gidgee and bronze.

Instagram post 2222211203258476565_335940060

This was one of the highlights of 2019 , 240mm gyuto/chefs knife I have forged out of wootz steel that @peterburtknives made . I have another wootz knife that is almost complete and I will be making my own wootz once the weather cools down a bit .

I will be exhibiting at the @damasteelab chef invitational in 2020 !!! I was invited for the first 2 years and haven’t been able to make it but this year I will be exhibiting at the #dci2020 and stay throughout the blade show as well . Who is going to be there ?

Instagram post 2220423512544022895_335940060

I win ... 52100 carbon steel at 64hrc hardness vs Christmas tree , I cut 2 chunks that were around 40mm wide (1.5” or so ) and still shaved easily without any deformation at the edge . This one was a 245mm @huntervalleyblades laser only 2.5mm thick at the spine , not even a thick workhorse .
I will be calling this knife “the grinch “
I know many people will baby their knives but it’s good to now they are well made tools to be used
Ps : don’t try this at home

A quick update for you friends , clients and supporters : we have been safe and not affected by the fires , thank you for your concerns and checking on me and my family . I never thought the artwork by @andrew.of.lilador of our podcast @knifemakingdownunderpodcast will depict the current state of Australia with being on fire like this . This morning it rained for the first time in months , after recording a video of it I just opened my arms and enjoyed the rain , I hope the areas they need the rain will get even more than us .
With the sheer size of the country most of the rural fire fighting is done by the volunteers and I would be grateful for the every cent you can donate following this link
https://quickweb.westpac.com.au/OnlinePaymentServlet?cd_community=NSWRFS&cd_currency=AUD&cd_supplier_business=DONATIONS&action=EnterDetails

I have decided to donate 30
Percent of the sales from my website to the bushfire charity
Probably the best ringed gidgee I have seen on a honyaki gyuto I have finished , first knife of the 2020 . I hope to post more pictures and videos of it sometime soon ,
Stay safe , take care

Happy New Years to you all , one of the highlights from 2019 was this Damascus integral western gyuto . Ambonya handle with g10 and bronze spacers .

Another highlight of the 2019 was this integral knife in @damasteelab . Forging a thick round bar stainless Damascus was a challenge but The results were worth it . I even found a perfect timber to match the flow of the pattern from the blade to the handle . Picture is a courtesy of @sharpbycoop . I am glad it’s in good hands now
