At the moment, besides jewelry, I’m mainly working on making a large, finely detailed knife. It’s going to be an “S-guard bowie.” I’m adding a few photos from the process. It’s quite demanding work that takes a lot of time… With breaks for smaller projects, I’ve been working on it since around April 😮

The blade is a twisted multi-bar “mosaic” damascus, and the total length is about 35 cm.

This time, I came up with “qite simple” fullers. 🙂  I started by marking them, then grinding almost up to the line, and after that shaping the grooves by hand with a Proxxon micro grinder, trying to make them as clean as possible already at that stage. The rough shaping is done; now I just need to fine-tune the irregularities, transitions, and the thinnest sections with small files, so there are no ripples and everything flows smoothly along the grind line. The blade is already hardened, so I can only work it with diamond tools, stones, and sandpapers – regular files wont work here.

More to come soon…
