Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and cope!
This is my old lady baby, Edie. She was born with the spirit of a grumpy old lady but she was my tiny sweet princess for 16 years until she passed this summer. She was my ride or die through my toughest years.

Made this knife out of scrap garage door parts in exchange for an endless supply of scrap garage door parts.

That’s neat and all, but I make my dab tools from hand forged Damascus.

Forgot to post this one.

Tried several new things on this one. Modified nakiri in Damascus san mai with a core made from a new steel that the maker was having a contest for.

Why does Ben folds look like he’s running for Congress?

Thanks!

Not necessarily, but I find that the level of detail increases difficulty and smaller things have smaller details. In terms of these two, the chef knife was definitely more difficult.

Anyone know what kind of mushroom this is? Growing off of a log of box elder maple that was felled a few months ago, northern Illinois. #mycology

Oops! Got a kitten.

Fixed the edge geometry so it’s a proper thrower now.

Accidentally made this cool elven-looking blade yesterday. Gonna clean it up and put a handle on today, and also make a couple of blades from that 100 layer ladder pattern Damascus. Watch for the livestream in about an hour!
