Wow.
Hand sanding. Something I always felt like I should try to avoid, but damned if it didn't work well for this.
Wow.
That's really looking nice! Is the shape just by eyeball? Similar shape to Dexter but bigger! I searched for something heavier like that with no luck.
Have to applaud the amount of work that goes into that. I keep threatening to give it a try but the reality looks less fun.
Look forward to seeing the finished product!

What does it weigh?Ok, more hand sanding. It's been too hot and there have been too many issues outside the forge...but im back at it. Had to re-sand the surface a bit, and I put more work into the bevel so it's damn near ready to heat treat.

What does it weigh?
That's not so easy these days. Goodwill combs their donations carefully. Anything with any real value is auctioned online. The days of finding hidden gems at Goodwill are mostly over.Poke around the local Goodwill. I've found a lot of really nice kitchen knves over the years
Poke around the local Goodwill. I've found a lot of really nice kitchen knves over the years, but in the meantime, EVERYBODY needs a custon made sharp thingy.
that's why whe a person has specific knife in mind they have it custom madeIt's pretty unlikely you're going to find something like Hoji requested at any secondhand store. Or firsthand store. He had pretty specific parameters in mind that have been a challenge to meet.
