Killdevil Knife and Forge

Turned out a couple of change of command/appreciation projects this week! These are Cr80V2 steel with copper or brass pins and a charred rum barrel for the handle. They still smell a little like rum! Stay tuned for some axes in the next couple weeks!

2x72 grinder all assembled! Big thanks to HouseMade Industrial for making an excellent product that was a joy to put together.

Before picture of the forge. Got it all cleaned out a couple weeks ago. After pictures soon!

Last knife to get finished before I set up the shop! 19C27 layered with 7C27Mo2. This is very high quality steel and makes a beautiful Damascus pattern. Walnut handle and a custom engraving. It’s a gift so no tags to the owner. No more knives for a bit but I’ll be posting progress on how the shop is coming along.
