I don’t always enjoy the hand sanding process, but I always love the reveal. To me, this is when it ceases to be just a piece of steel and becomes a knife.

I’ve always been fascinated by the geometric designs found in Islamic tile and architecture. So I made these earrings as practice for my @accjewelry class over the long weekend. Still some cleanup to do, but I’m super happy with the results so far.

Taking a jewelry techniques class at #austincommunitycollege as a step on the road to better knives. I anticipate taking a lot of classes over the next few years. Currently we’re working on sawing and piercing for the first project. Threw in a pic of Sherman just for fun.

Porcupines apparently like the same bait that raccoons do. They regularly and sometimes repeatedly stay the night, and Dad lets them go to fight another day.

Setbacks are part of the game. Forged the awesome twist Damascus blade as an upgraded option for my recent fluted handle. Then I noticed the twists in the blade and the handle are opposite, so this combo is a no go. Both are still fine, so the only thing wasted was planning time. And now I get to make 2 daggers.

So now that the handle is done, I’m thinking the stainless blade is relatively lame. So I found a piece of medium twist damascus (240 layers or so) that I made back in 2014 that’s just the right size. I’ll forge a tip and tang this evening and get it ground and heat treated tomorrow. It’ll be a few inches longer too, which will be an improvement as well. I kinda think if you’re going to do a dagger it might as well be full beast mode. Handle on this is African Blackwood with .999 fine silver wrap.

In reverse order, here’s my next dagger project. Because I like them. This one is gonna take some new skills, but that’s why I do this.

The little blue dagger is done. Next time I say I’m going to make a fancy sheath for a knife, somebody remind me how much it sucks. Off for pro photos, then it’ll be up for sale.
