Knife making - Hand made pocket knife

This my my 23th hand made pocket knife. I finally got my new bench grinder. about 3HP. I really enjoy it and am looking forward to getting descent at free hand grinding! Furthermore, I made a lapping tool, so I can now make bushings. In the past I have sometimes peened the liners so tight that the action of the blade when going from locked to open was compromised. Now the walk and talk are getting better!

I want to make one like this for myself. It’s be made if O1, with copper fittings, a pocket clip, and some nice ironwood. O1 patinas in such a pretty way that it would compliment the copper and wood nicely

[@Inmyshed]

Hi! I did save the pattern for this one. Do you make knives? Sounds like a nice build!

@@Inmyshed I want to get into it, I don’t have any space for it but I think I have a solution for it

These are gorgeous. I’ve watched 2 videos and no doubt it’s the same maker. Can these knives be bought. Is there somewhere to go to buy these knives….

[@Inmyshed]

Hi! Thank you! Not yet, but I am looking into getting a web page going and start selling some.

[@Heracleetus]

Beautiful craftsmanship! What is the purpose of wrapping the stuff in sheet metal before heat treat? Does that prevent scale or something?

[@Inmyshed]

Hi! thanks! It reduces decarburization. I have not tested not using it, and on the forums I read they recommend it.

[@marcosmacli1061]

Un trabajo muy bueno , una consulta como se llama la lima que hace ranuras en linea 1 munuto , veinte segundos, la usas , gracias.

You did a great work 🎉do you sell these?

Hi! Thank you! I am making 15 folders right now, and they will be finished in a weeks time. I will post then to my website.

[@outbackladas]

Top job, really nice knife. Only one question, where’s the nail nick for opening?

[@Inmyshed]

Hi! The blade shape makes a nail nick redundant. Its so easy to open. I was pondering making one just for esthetics tho. maybe on the next one!

[@1gumbah]

Where is mine it’s beautiful

Hehe, thanks!

Hello, what kind of file are you using for the grooves?

Knurling file.

Hi! Its a checkering/jimping file. I have a link in description for it.

[@Somerandomguy2998]

Won't the blade dull when closing?

[@Inmyshed]

Hi! no. The edge never touches the back spring when locked due to the kicker. Watch from 4:39 and u can see the clearing when closed.

to be honest, I like this blade shape cuz it is not so threatening. Big pointy knives scares the average joe.
