Another Chef's Knife

I know, I know, boring title.

I've been busily beavering away making chef's knives for Christmas.
This latest one is a Japanese inspired 8" blade made from AEB-L. The handle is 304 stainless and African blackwood.







I did something that may be of interest to hide the bolster pins.
They are actually sections of 8-32 stainless machine screw, pressed into holes in the bolster pieces that have been routed out with a Dremel and small diamond ball.
Then pressed in a hydraulic press to form a kind of rivet for a solid mechanical connection. I have documented the process in my blog:

Thanks for looking and please don't tell my Mom what she's getting for Christmas.

Happy knifemaking!

Dan
