Another great therapy session with Benno. Everything that looks a little red and sore is fresh. Midway from the bicep to the shoulder and tricep area.

Finishing up a few knives today. My favourite timber - Ringed Gidgee.

A bunch of NitroV and N690 knives wrapped up and ready for heat treating.

Pretty close to finishing up this one. N690 blade from .knives that I worked on at his place half a lifetime ago (it seems that way). Ringed Gidgee scales with black G10 liners. Mosaic pins to tart it up somewhat.

This is the knife I finished on the weekend. Beautiful W2 steel with X's Hamon. Rich, dark chocolate coloured ringed Gidgee handle with faux bone spacer.

Blade is 220x38mm. Convex geometry. Sits on the "heavier" side but is likely suited to a larger user - the rounded oval handle is approximately 145mm.

**Available for purchase. Contact me for details

Just finished up an awesome weekend of knife making. I ran a one on one performance chef knife class, this one with W2 steel so we could produce a hamon. I find it absolutely satisfying when the student makes something as stunning as they did today.

A quick repair to an old knife.

Recently I had a very open conversation with Geoff Feder on The Full Blast Podcast.

Geoff and I go back a long way and have been friends since the early days of knife making for the both of us.

We've had the good fortune to meet in person and we've shared stories and laughs on our respective podcasts.

Here's the link to the episode on Spotify. If you don't have Spotify Google The Full Blast Podcast as it's on many platforms.

Thanks for listening.

A lot has been happening over the past year. I am not on Facebook much but am definitely getting and responding to messages through the page. I am on Instagram under if you want to see what I am up to.

I've had to make the decision to stop teaching for a little while as my body isn't doing so well with a 30 year long back issue and arthritis to add to the mix.

One thing I wanted to add to the page is a link to [Tee] Spring to a shop that I have set up for my "Grind Monkey" gear.

https://checkthisout-3.creator-spring.com

This is a sideline brand that I have had for a few years now and I've finally managed to get on board the "on demand" print train. It means that I can offer more options to you up front. It's not entirely knife related either so if you think someone you know might like it please share to them.

I'll be working on a few Kev's Forge products in the not to distant future.

Thanks everyone for your support!
