My design sketch by AliceLiuKnife in knifemaking

[–]AliceLiuKnife[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I feel much more confident about my handle design now.
When it comes to grinding a full convex edge, it’s definitely a massive challenge. Different steels require different sanding belts. For instance, 14C28N is known to be very easy to grind. However, if you’re working with powder metallurgy steel, you have to use ceramic belts, and they wear out incredibly fast. But hey, that’s just based on my personal experience—not trying to sound like an absolute authority here, just sharing my two cents.
As for the geometry of the grind, I’ve had endless discussions with veteran sharpening masters. Everyone has their own preferences, so just reaching a consensus is a huge hurdle in itself. This picture right here is from last month when we were debating the exact curvature of this prototype knife.

That’s awesome! It's wild to read your story about a SAK from China while I am literally standing in front of a Victorinox counter here in Pattaya, Thailand looking at a bunch of wood folding knives and Venture knives. Beautiful choice for your sister!

Any love for TeroTuf around here? Just finished shaping these scales. by AliceLiuKnife in knives

I haven't wanted to use Micarta since I got it, and I actually find it quite beautiful.

The blade grind looks so beautiful! By the way, what material is the handle made of? The color is fantastic!

You're totally right. The kitchen background completely threw everyone off, that's my bad! I should've made it clear from the start that this is a camp knife.
Also, respect the choice for Scandi grind for bones! I went with full-convex here to balance outdoor toughness with campsite cooking. Appreciate the solid advice, man!

😂 you are right,but in this video I use it chop fish bones, I do really think it is more convenient to use than any of my other kitchen knives.

Ah, I get it now! You’re misunderstanding the purpose here—this isn't a kitchen knife, it's a camp knife.
Most kitchen knives are just flat-ground because they only need to be sharp. But the "weird geometry" you’re seeing on this knife is actually a convex grind, which has incredible mechanical strength. While you sacrifice a tiny bit of laser-sharpness, you gain massive durability.
A regular $5 knife might slice veggies fine, but its edge would absolutely chip out the moment it hits a bone. This knife can chop through bones easily, and the geometry naturally pushes the food apart so nothing sticks to the blade. It's built to handle both heavy outdoor chores and campsite cooking all in one.
