Re: Quick update

Well guys, good news and bad news. The bad news is I have a tumor growing next to my spine and possibly into it. The good news is it hasn't spread anywhere and the doc said it's very rare for isolated spinal tumors to metastasize. Given my age and overall health the neurosurgery team here at Texas T...

Re: Quick update

Back injury is awful. Hoping you get back to normal soon. Yes, I had never realized how bad they are until it happened to me. I've had all kinds of injuries before including fractured bones and really bad pneumonia and none of those have as debilitating as this has been =-( Thanks everyone for your...

Re: 2018 Customs and WIP stuff

What do you think about 8670? I made a Gyuto with some and it seems to do well, it doesn't stay razor sharp super long but it will really take a rediculously keen edge with all that toughness. I'm a fan of the nickel carbon steels in general for that reason.

Re: Bunkas Thread

Due to the geometry of the blade the rough finish on top got kind of messed up during grinding because it is thinner than the other two. It's kind of hard to explain in words but if you think of a triangle closing in on itself with the abrasives at the bottom of the triangle sticking up they start r...

Re: Finished work

Lookin good bruthu! What kind of wood is that handle and how did you finish it? For a makers mark I have a cheap and easy solution until you can get an etching kit or a custom stamp. I use these stamps, there's a ton of different designs to pick from and a few different fonts of letters so you can g...

Bunkas Thread

Bunkas have been very popular, figured I would just make a thread dedicated to them and drop them off here as they're completed. Most of the knives I make are made to order, but if you're interested just shoot me a PM :D . https://i.imgur.com/WKiU6Me.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qPSdf9N.jpg https://i.img...

Re: Kurosaki Megumi vg10 240

Knife is on it's way to Jbart as of the 27th. I apologize for the extra couple of days I had it ready to go friday and realized that I didn't have the address, so it had to wait over the weekend. It's probably for the best, it gave me some time to come up with a better packing scheme, with the box i...

Re: Kurosaki Megumi vg10 240

The knife arrived to me safe and sound, although I may have to find another box for it, this one is getting pretty beat up. I'll let you guys know what my thoughts are in a few days when I have time to do some measurements and put it through some veg.
