Knife II

« Benjamin Dickey: Organic-Mechanics

(Uncategorized)

This is the second knife that I've made and this project fought me tooth and nail the whole time. I would call this project as more of a "concept model" or a sketch rather than a finished piece. There were some nice things about it but there were also some things that need to be addressed if I decide to make another knife in the future.

The textural elements on the blade, which were a happy accident, happened when I allowed the blade to go past the necessary point that it needed to go. The steel actually began to boil on the surface.

The down side to this blade is that I did not clay coat the areas that needed to stay soft this time so the whole blade has a hardness of about 60-63RC along the edge and something like a 54 on the spine and the tip of the blade only. This means that the tang stayed as hard as the edge and made it impossible to drill through. I destroyed a lot of titanium nitride bits on this piece of metal.

-4-5/8" blade
-11-7/8" overall
-Full tang design

Materials:
-Steel (started as a file)
-Nickel Silver sheet liners
-Brass sheet bolsters
-Red Oak scales
-Oak dowel pins
