NW Steel

                   I bought a batch of Damascus blades on eBay. Some of them are seconds.  The handle scales come from a block of pretty hardwood I found lying around the shop. Copper pins. 

                Second blade from Etsy.Nice Damascus. Brass from a plumbing fitting. Handle from the plum tree from our back yard.

              I've wanted a small chopper for the kitchen for a long time. So I made one.  Blade cut from a 10" circular saw blade. Handle scales are mahogany.

        I bought the blade off Etsy. Very sharp if kept touched up. Damascus steel. Oak handle. Brass from a plumbing fitting. Might be my bride's favorite kitchen knife.

This is cut from one of my father's Skillsaw blades. It's now a paring knife.  Christmas present for my mother. Fond memories. Shape based on a paring knife in my kitchen. Mahogany handle.

This is one of my first knife builds, the one that got me hooked.   I found an old knife with a busted handle on the street somewhere. Broke the rest of the handle off and put my own handle on it.  Not much skill here. Cut a channel in some oak, glued the blade in place.  But I've been using the knife now ever since. At least the handle has been holding up.
