so i made a kitchen knife! jenny gave me a christmas present of a two day course at boneyard. i had no idea what to expect really. but it was brilliantly done –
forging a blade from a lump of carbon steel, a lot of heating and hammering, heat treating, grinding to bevel the shape of the blade, sanding, sharpening.
and then making the handle through more grinding, and a lot of sanding and polishing. i am honestly amazed at how beautiful the knife is.
