blue carving knife

[forginhill]

Made another carving knife. My boys entered some knives in a little competition recently, and I made one alongside them to show them how. The blade is 1095 and the handle is mesquite....painted (thought I'd try something different). I'd show my boys' knives too, but they're on display right now and I don't have any pics.

Be careful. You have made what many would consider to be a serious wood carving knife, collectible in fact.

That's a nice looking knife Todd, made even nicer by the colour of the handle.

What type of paint did you use on it?

Love the length of the handle. Good proportions on the blade

Thanks for the feedback! I gave it a good workout by making a mesquite spoon, and so far I really like it. Mesquite, I don't know what the paint is. It didn't say on the bottle, probably some kind of acrylic. I'll get a photo of the bottle. Bluey, this is my first with the 1095. I want to give it a good workout to see if I have the heat treatment where I want it. Then I hope to make some and put them on my etsy site. They shouldn't be too pricey since they're a pretty basic knife.

Perfect. I obviously am a fan of the blue handle. 👏🏻👍🏻💙 it's so pretty 😊

Very nice indeed, am not sure on the paint job though as I like the natural finish of the wood but that's just my preference.
