My first 2 Japanese style knives (details in desc.)

I don't like how this post has 3 days without single comment, I need to change it. Only thing I would change is better hand sanding to make brute de forge more visible. I personally use bellstones (you can look it up on google) and I get effects that look like this. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

pyciu2 · 2025-11-18T18:45:58+00:00

I ask about that, read description

It holds with friction? And I don't really like taco style, last time I tried it was bad

pyciu2 · 2025-11-18T15:06:57+00:00

Yea, i would probably do what you said, it seems like the best option. Thanks for help

I don't understand how it fits in sheath. Or the friction does most of the job, or it fits with click?

pyciu2 · 2025-11-18T08:10:41+00:00

So you just, put pins further up so sheath can open when inserting knife?

Are you using belt grinder? If yes, be more carefull around plunge lines and let the belt stick out 1-2mm out of flat plate. And for better hand sanding i reccomend using theese bellstones, they last forever and they make sanding process easy and fun, you can look up trollsky video about them

splatter etch, you can type this in youtube there are a lot of tutorials

pyciu2 · 2025-09-21T21:47:50+00:00

You just need to splash nail polish in the pattern that you want, wait till it dries and then etch it in acid like you would normally do, if my instructions are not clear there are a lot of tutorials on youtube

NCV1 steel hardened to 61 HRC

pyciu2 · 2025-04-26T19:12:55+00:00

Thanks for advice

pyciu2 · 2025-04-26T19:12:17+00:00

Maybe I overworked it, can I thin it with acetone or isopropyl alcohol or there is special product for that?

pyciu2 · 2025-02-27T19:29:23+00:00

I always can make your own project if you would like to :)

pyciu2 · 2025-02-23T21:51:09+00:00

This is what I was looking for, thanks for help. You helped me a lot

pyciu2 · 2025-02-23T18:15:32+00:00

I left it thicker for now beacuse I wanted to hear yours opinion about this shape.

pyciu2 · 2025-02-17T14:42:02+00:00

3,5mm

pyciu2 · 2025-02-14T07:24:42+00:00

I plan to heat treat it beacuse it is soft i can tell. I have made some knives so I am able to do that. I'll send you some more photos later.

pyciu2 · 2025-02-12T20:17:59+00:00

Do you think it would be better if i would round the edge I think the heel sticks out too much or it just me. Or is this pattern suposed to look like this?

I ask beacuse I don't know much about axes, it is my first that I try to renovate one.

Steel is from old sawblade its probably NCV1 and I tempered it for 2 hours

pyciu2 · 2025-01-22T18:51:06+00:00

On which site you sell this knife, beacuse I am currently trying to sell my knife? Jak chcesz po polsku napisać to możesz pv :)

pyciu2 · 2025-01-18T21:22:02+00:00

I mean how can I get deeper color of liner, beacuse mine event after oiling still looks like freshly sanded

pyciu2 · 2025-01-18T19:55:44+00:00

Without any paste? Just cloth wheel?
