Skeletal Knife From 1" Round Bar (Exigrals) Part 1

This is the first part of a 2 part series I'm making to show my process on how I make these all metal integrals that I call Exigrals (exoskeleton integrals).
This video goes through some of the steels I use to make knives and some bronzes for guards and bolsters that I get from www.onlinemetals.com.

[@soulsolutions3999]

Curtis wondering on hte O1 and W1 tool steels, do you have issues with rusting on hte blades after finished. How do you tell your customers to take care of their knives.

[@RenanFreitas.]
