The main knife maker lime types are essentially 4 that I illustrate in this post.
The file is a manual tool that is used in the construction of the coltell, both for the blade and for the handle.
Depending on the processing there are specific files more suitable to perform specific operations. Continue reading “Types of knife maker limes”
Loveless pins or pins of Loveless are one of the many features that distinguish the knives of the great Amerian maker.
I’m just talking about the handles locking pins of his knives.
Today there are many systems but in those years the famous maker created a simple and funional way to fix the handle not only with simple pins but with something similar to the Corby Bolt. Continue reading “Loveless pins”

Knifemaking grips are essential to perform different operations and can’t be missing in your lab.
Having a stable “block” of the knife during processing is also very important for this in addition to a quality grip also serves a stable and heavy fastening base.
The workbench must have a good structure and weight because the reminders working the metal are considerable and all unwanted movements result in little precision of the processing or force you to work with less thrust to avoid these movements. Continue reading “The grip for knifemaking”
The inconel and the candy of the knife maker.
The knife maker’s candy is called inconel, and it is the “tight dress” for the knife when it goes into temper.

The aim is to create a dress at the knife trying to bring out all the air inside what is called “candy” in the jargon. Continue reading “The knife maker’s inconel and candy”
The ideal knife maker workshop is a place that allows you to build the design of the knife that you want to make with the desired finish and care.
The tools help but for my experience what makes the difference is the maker’s ability to “feel” the detail and achieve it.
Man always makes a difference!
The polishing paste for metals in the knife shop but in general the abrasive paste is a product that serves to create a surface wear (abrasion) of an object by rubbing, in order to modify the external properties of the same.
From this paste also derive polishes with abrasive (but more diluted) characteristics, which originally have functions similar to protective wax.

The hamlet doubt par excellence of the makers.
CNC yes or CNC no? That’s the problem!
The knife is custom even if it is made with the CNC or only if it is made with the sander?
Now it’s clearly a pun to quote Shakespeare’s Hamlet but this question is part of one of the many controversies/debates/other kind of mental saws that are made on the net on social media between makers.
Now I tell you how I feel! Continue reading “The Maker’s Hamlet Doubt”
