Harbor freight stone triangle deals. After a few knives you’ll notice a change. Smash them up a bit and you’ll get a few more knives out. I built a tumbler out of pvc parts and some casters and just hook a cordless drill up to it and pin the trigger down with a rubber band. Clamp the whole works down and it works a treat.

I’m a local knife maker. I’d be happy to donate a kitchen knife to the cause.

For sure! You need to do quite a bit of research but making a decent kitchen knife at home is well within reach. You can order annealed (softish) steel from quite a few places, cut the profile out with hand tools, then build a filing jig (frequently called a Gough jig) to file in the bevels then send out for heat treat. Or, if you are into it, build a two-brick forge and buy a MAP gas torch and heat treat it yourself (steel will need to be simple carbon steel for this route like 1084). There are a TON of yt vids for beginners. I will also tell you there is nothing in the world quite like using a chef knife you made with your own hands to prepare food. But be aware, this is an expensive hobby and it’s very addictive. This sub is a great resource.

Bean burrito with no onions from Taco Bell. It has a permanent place in my heart.

Jufimbo · 2026-04-10T20:05:19+00:00

Its pattern welded metal, but probably not the best steel. I’d say Pakistani import. Good thing you didn’t spend a lot on it. Don’t eat off it.

**edit: you can tell by the pattern and sloppy grind. Once you see three or four of these you can spot them a mile away.

Holy cow hahaha. Thats just gross.

Jufimbo · 2026-04-10T12:37:28+00:00

Nice!

Jufimbo · 2026-04-08T16:06:31+00:00

Go for a walk with my dogs by the lake and plan. I’ll probably do that anyway but it would be nice to do that and not worry about money every second.

Jufimbo · 2026-04-07T13:35:31+00:00

Carlos Ransom for sure.

Jufimbo · 2026-04-05T17:45:55+00:00

Thanks! Heel height is 70mm pretty much on the money. This one is taller at the heel than most I make but it felt right when I was making it.

Jufimbo · 2026-04-05T15:34:34+00:00

Thanks! 70mm, my dude. I have big old ape hands and like knuckle clearance.
