Janusz "Yahoo" Bladowski Kitchen Knives

   Because I am going to make my first kitchen knife, I will show You some knives made by my friend knifemaker who is a specialist in making these. His name is Janusz Bladowski, known as Yahoo, and is well known for making the best kitchen knives in Poland. He helped me a lot when I started making my first knives and is stil helping me with heat treatment and material supply. I think that his works will be a great inspiration for my first kitchen knife.

Hunter becoming a soldier.... CUSTOMIZATION

My colleague ask me to make a customization of a knife he gets from his father. The knife is about 30 years old and is a custom made by a yard worker. The blade is made of a propeller. A handle was too smal and uncomfortable because of edgy guard. There was also a very low in height convex grind so the knife was not able to cut easy. I wanted to make something more usable so I made a new handle from green canvas micarta and give the knife a scandi/bushcraft grind

Original knife...

After customization...

Orange Survival Set (Part 2)

Also a firesteel, Fallkliven DC3 sharpener, orange paracord, orange kydex... even an orange tread for sewing leather. What I don't have is some more free time ;)

Recreating a tsuba by Ford Hallam

One of the memebers of  Polish Guild of Knifemakers (I don't remember if I wrote that I am a member of that guild...) showed me a fantastic short film about making a tsuba for Katana sword by classical Japanese metal artist Ford Hallam. This guy is amazing! You have to watch it!
It's unbelievable what people can do using only the simplest tools and their talent...
