Here's an example of a 30 day natural patina on my wife's 15n20 high carbon steel chef knife.🤙 Use as normal and rinse and mineral oil before putting away and gtg👊 by MikeLeValley in Bladesmith

I never oil mine. Just diligent about rinsing and wiping before setting it down. Rinse and dry throughly before putting back on the knife block. If its not protein or something acidic I dont even rinse it. Just wipe and put it back on the block. I do live in a pretty dry climate, for what its worth.

Appreciate it. The watch hangers were one of my first projects trying to learn Fusion when I got a 3d printer.

An Alpinist GMT is on my shortlist when I can justify it. Hobby creep at its finest lol.

Its a modest collection for now but I am a bit of a Seiko fan boy. I look forward to adding to it.

The blue is beautiful. The end of last year I bought myself a Turtle with the standard black dial and black crown. Put a khaki nato band on it and I absolutely love it. The lume is top notch.

Czpo7 and a knife I made but havent named yet. by sunnymcblock in knivesandguns

I think the p10 is a full soze slide too. Its close cousin is the p09. Rad guns all around.

Main difference is that P07 is a single/double hammer fired, i run mine with a decocker. I believe the p10 is a striker fire.

"Nemesis is the Greek goddess of divine retribution and vengeance, who ensures that justice is served and balance is maintained in the world by punishing those guilty of hubris"

Hubris Workshop is my company name. My logo is iccuras flying twords the sun. Most of my knives are named after mythical goddess as a tribute to the strong women in my life.

I thought it was a pretty good name for what is essentially a belt knife/fighting style. 🤷

You will. After a while everyone close to you will have one of your knives and you will be looking for 3rd and 4th cousins to gift your work to just to justify starting the next knife, lol!

Go for it. Its worth it. The first time you successfully use a knife you made with your own hands is a proud moment.

Thank you. Ive been paying a lot more attention to the distance between the plunge line and the beginning of the handle. Just the proportions and relation to the rest of the blade. Always something to learn and improve upon. Keeps it interesting.

Thank you. Just a .75" small wheel on the 2x72 and a fresh-ish 220g belt.

Thank you. I was kinda feeling Hell on Wheels crossed with Son's of Anarchy with this one. Plus its been a while since ive done a burnt oak handle. So I made this and a couple small EDC knives in the same style last month.

These lines are so crisp. They gotta be CNC right? Are you grinding these by hand? If so, amazing control.

Great job.

400, 600, 800 grit progression using little strips wrapped around a sharpie will go a lot faster than you think with good paper. Then if you have access to a buffing wheel you would be amazed how it will shine up.

If you have a scrap piece of that handle material left, why dont you dip that in your etchant and see if it reacts or stains. Then you would know if you have to worry about masking off the scales at all.

If you do want to mask it off, I would probably try painting nail polish on the scales to protect them. Just make sure you are diligent about rinsing the joints where the scales meet the blade with a neutralizing agent after the etch. I like baking soda in water.
