Double bevel knife grind, Dagger grinding, How to make an oyster knife

[@CynthiasCraftsandmore]

G'day Darren, Very cool knife! Thank you for sharing! Hugs and love to you and your family. ❤️✝🤗 Have a beautiful and blessed week. God Bless ❤️✝🤗

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

It is a little blade specific for the job and one I have never done. I'm doing it at not much above cost of materials and post as it is as much a test piece for me. I will get feed back from the owner when it is done to know if I need to alter the design, so happy to it as cheap as I can.

that is a nice looking dagger can't wait to see it finished

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

Cheers mate been a while in the process getting this one going, so need to finish it.

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

Awesome, thank you! even if I don't like my Narration

[@KlingonPrincess]

That was fascinating. I want to learn how to make a dagger too now.

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

lol we are technically not allowed to own daggers here, but oyster knives are allowed

[@KlingonPrincess]

Kitchen tools fall under different rules that a knife you could carry in Australia.

Looks awesome mate, well done.

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

Dagger grinds are tricky mate, can do them by hand but lots of work to get that freehand just right.

[@PaullaWells]

That is so interesting!

[@RubenMayo-f3x]

nice oyster knife. what kind of steel do you use.

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

That one was Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which tends to be the normal stainless that I use. Nice simple stainless that works well will forge heat treatment and reliable results

Nice dagger! How come you flattened the tip!? God bless! Tony n Lee Ann

[@DownunderFarmandForge]

Hey guys, It is actually and oyster knife, same basic grind as a dagger, but since the tip is used to pry open shells the chisel tip is a lot tougher the a dagger point would be, greater mass of steel where it is required.

[@tonylarson1960able]

@@DownunderFarmandForge Oh that makes sense! Look forward to seeing it finished! Thanks Darren!

[@DownunderFarmandForge]
