27y/o knifemaker who’s politically active and a goofy goober. Slava Ukraini! Asheville NC.
Finished the child of the corn up, used some vintage crosscut Westinghouse for the scales. Sitting at 62-63 HRC for SG2.

It's just so satisfying Pre-profiling my wood for handles. #knifemaking #handmade #blackwalnut

More blade grinding, the grind literally never ends 😂. Anywho, this is Gary (Garasuki) and Hominey (Honesuki). Yes, I give all my designs names.

Blade grinding today. Working on a few 7in bunkas. Made from NitroV. Really enjoying this blade profile. K-tips are my preferred blade shape for kitchen knives.

Most people don’t realize how shitty Soviet/KGB meddling was in “Finlandized” Finland. Forcing that model on Ukraine would be a disgusting betrayal of the West’s promises to the Maidan generation, who bet their lives on democracy and Europe.

Here are those chef knives all finished up. They turned out great, running NitroV at 62-63 HRC. Ground to about .007 behind the edge (BTE).

Putting some content up. Here’s some before and after shots of some kitchen knives I’ve been working on.
