Looking good, Mert! I love my ajikiri and use it, almost exclusively, for cleaning pismo's! Yes sir, pismo destroyer! Keep up the great work, brother.

 

Thanks Al , I was testing my new forge and wanted to see how it does at forge welding temperatures , decided to do this . If I can finish if in a way I am happy with it I will be auctioning it

 

NICE...... I will be keeping an eye on the auction section!

 

I love the anticipation of what grinding and quick etch is going to reveal

 

Awesome

 

That looks like it will be something special

 

I hope so

 

I know so!!! :k op :cool1

 

Few knives in works , takefu sumingashi , 52100, hitachi blue2 honyaki that will get a cool handle with walrus ivory and mallee burl ,San mai 52100 and few more monosteel custom orders of 52100

Distal taper on Marc 's gyuto

 

Beautiful stuff, Mert, keep em coming!!! :cool1

 

Thanks brother

 

I decided to torture my self , hand forged 7 blades in 3.5 hours .. I need a power hammer bad .. Very bad
A Damascus clad single bevel mioroshi deba in 52100 , a 52100 gyuto , 2 blue honyaki gyutos , takefu San Mai suji , Damascus nakiri and a Damascus gyuto , here is a pic of the nakiri . I got a feeling it's going to be rather "Good"

 

Damn, no need to hit the gym, huh brother!

 

It's a teaser picture of a 255mm Gyuto forged from 52100 , I was fortunate that the person who commissioned it gave me quite a bit of freedom in terms of handle type and materials , at the end I am very happy with the outcome . It is two colored red mallee burl with nickel bolster , will post more pics of it once she gets to the owner

 

I just went through this thread from start to finish.
Very enjoyable thread and beautiful knives.

 

Thank you Mark
