This is a Knife Set I have made for my Eldest Son, who is a very keen cook.
These are Woodcraft Zhen Damascus Steel Knife Blanks - 67 Layers or folds of Steel.
Steel is made in Japan, then Shaped, and Sharpened in China.
I used Cocobolo Scales for the Knife Handles, and Eucalyptus robusta AKA Swamp Mahogany, for the Sharpening Steel Handle.
If I was to ever make another one, which I doubt, I wouldn't use Cocobolo, as some pieces were quite hard and other were extremely soft, which apart from making the sanding difficult, the sanding Dust of which there was plenty, started to irritate my wrists and the back of my hands. I will now Keep a Wide Berth from Cocobolo.
The Knife Stand Block, is Eucalyptus robusta AKA Swamp Mahogany.
All Finished, with Minwax Wipe on Poly High Gloss.
All comments welcome.
