Look at my new set of templates .... MUAHAHAHAH! Just kidding.... maybe lolWith a little down time I was able to get all my standard patterns transfered to sheet steel and hung on the wall
I now have a pic of them that can be used when I am asked what I make and then a decision can be more easily made as to were to start the discussion.
John, when you patina the blade which is easy enough, what do you do for the tang on full tang knivesAll of my kitchen blades have been done in stainless, but I want to do some in carbon. I think I may force the patina myself and sell them that way rather than try to explain to people that the patina is normal, and actually desirable.
Good point 07............it's easy to take the same pattern and end up with an oversized knife.Nice job!! Are your patterns full size or do you undersize them to compensate when you transfer them??

I am getting ready to start making patterns for some of the knives that I make. Was gonna undersize pattern by 1/16" of an inch and then use a 1/8" transfer punch around the pattern to scribe onto the steel.
