Hand turned lanyard beads made from recycled offcuts.

Used various different materials like wood, micarta composits, carbon fiber... that have been left over from my other projects and would have ended up in the trash.

A couple of my pocket carry fixed blade knives

Knife models are Pocket Fixed Blade, Spearhead, Outlaw and Shinobi. Various different finishes but I really like the hamon blade finish the most.

Recalescence effect on two big knives

The shadow on the blade is caused by the recalescence, as the crystal structure changes from austenite to pearlite, temporarily reheating the metal. I alwas find thsi very cool when heat treating

Recalescence effect

As the hot steel cools it suddenly brightens and glows hotter. This is called recalescence, heat released as the crystal structure changes from austenite to pearlite, temporarily reheating the metal... so basically magic.

First time doing some serrations, was surprised how effortlessly they cut.

Just a little test cut on some wood. This was a for a custom build, they wanted serrations on about 1/3 of the blade. turned out pretty nice in the end.
