i moved recently, and then my niece came to visit. the result of this is i legit don't know where most of my knives are, and i specifically hid some hatchets so my niece wouldn't find them.

i am like a tool squirrel, putting things down and forgetting where they are.

images are huge im sorry its early i am not awake enough yet

knife on the right is my grandfathers old beater knife which i saved from the trash when he died and my dad and his siblings were doing a purge of stuff. i ended up diggin' thru the bags and retrieved some really rad stuff, and then my grandpas sister laughed at me a bunch and said that john wasn't dead after all. it warmed my heart.

the one of the left is a sailors knife, super useful tool knife. the spike is for untangling knots, ostensibly, but it works for a thousand things. i've used it to remove staples from fence posts, pop propolis fused lids from hives, clean a bowl, poke holes for planting seeds, all sortsa stuff. also the long flat blade is designed to slice rope, not do a stab, which i like.

the hatchet up top is a legacy piece, or something. it's at least my great great grandfathers, maybe older. no receipt or registration dates on handmade things.
the bottom one was the first hatchet i made. when mourning said deceased grandfather and smoking in his garage i found an old hatchet head, so i plugged in the grinder and cleaned it up, then got the handle i'd cut a few years ago and seasoned with no project in mind for and made the hatchet. it was fun! i have made another axe and some other little things since.

Heather Papps: hello friend

anyone have thoughts on whetstones? i have a few old belgian bluestones i use for important things, but only rarely. the composite stones are fantastic for regular use tho', and i've never understood folk who don't like them. i get that it's neat that there are rocks that exist that work well, but well, we can also use science to make cheaper whetstones.
plus the manufactured stones can have a rough and then fine grit, which is fantastic.

my technique is to put the head on so that a good chunk of the handle sticks out the top, then i cut it flush.

take that piece of wood and cut little pegs out of it, that will fit into the gaps of the hole in the head and the handle. hammer those pegs in securely, then use a grinder to remove any excess.

then i take drill with a small diameter bit and drill a pilot hole into the head just about the depth of the finishing nails, which i hammer in. then, when i put the stain on the handle i dribbled a bunch of extra into any remaining gaps.

the reality tho' is if you work with any tool that goes on a handle long enough you are going to experience failure of the tool. it's rare someone who knows how to split wood looses a head and hurts someone, but someone who has never had that experience won't ever expect it and may act unsafely, especially with the polyhandle axes/hatches that are so common now.

I like the composite carborundum or w/e coarse oilstones and for the price they are fantastic, but I usually finish things up on a knife with a hard/black Arkansas and then a nice buff with green compound for that nice super sharp mirror edge. Axes don�t need all that polishing, but. It is such a pleasure to use a really good sharp axe/hatchet that shoots big chonks out of a tree.

Heather Papps: hello friend

sharpening blades is such a meditative process. i love it.

i once made a joke around a campfire about not respecting a man with a beard who can't sharpen a blade, then looked around and realized every male id'd folk there but me had a beard, and absolutely no idea how to sharpen a blade.

it was a joke but sometimes what is dull to me is sharp to someone else.

This is my knew knife:

I've been wanting a good veggie knife for a while, with a flat blade for chopping. I already have a decent western style chefs knife for general use. When I was visiting my sister back in December, she told me of this blacksmith one of her coworkers took her to where they make all kinds of knives and especially the special implements for bamboo crafting. This was exactly the knife I'd been looking for. It wasn't really expensive either, something like ~$50! I love this knife.
Here is some of the stuff I cut up with it when I got it home.

I've cut slices so thin, I couldn't even see them!
