My FIL's knife.

[Hoggslayer]

Making a chiefs knife for my FIL.
O1 steel with spalted Pecan scales.


Started cutting the bevel on one side.

Nice. Looking forward to final product.

[Hoggslayer]

I got the bevel cut in both sides. I'm waiting on some finer grit belts to come in that I have on order.

[Hoggslayer]

I got the scales roughed out.

Nice job!! I may have to try a kitchen knife for my wife next...what thickness steel do you use?

[Hoggslayer]

I'd try 1/8. This one is 3/16 and it's way to thick for my liking.

[Puggy625]

I've used 3/32" on the few that I've made. Any thicker and the knife gets very heavy and hard to use for any length of time (if it has a long blade). Now on a clever, I'll use 1/8" to get the heft needed.

[coachk]

I've got some 1/8" laying around... Thanks for giving me my next project!haha
