Small O1 knife with antler and Micarta scales
Trying something different. A very simple O1 knife made to customer’s specs. Deer antler scales with black paper Micarta and G10 spacers, stainless pins and 1/4″ tubing. Marked “Berserkr” and “USA” on reverse side.
Work-in-progress tanto
This is a work-in-progress 1095 tanto-style combat knife. The handle will be wrapped in 550 cord but I drilled additional holes in case I ever wanted to add scales.

Rough O1 hunter with full flat grind and Micarta scales, secured with flared stainless tubing. Blade still needs additional hand sanding.
Normalization cycle
1084 high carbon steel hunting knife blank being put through a normalization cycle. I’ll do this a couple times to relieve the stresses of grinding and to refine grain structure. I also place a few pieces of scrap steel into the kiln which I’ll use to quickly heat up the quench tank.
