Head knives

Head knives for cutting & skiving leatherwork.

~§~

Made from spalted silver birch, brass & medium carbon steel alloy, mirror polished with beeswax finish.

~§~

Donor steel from old saw blade (old non tct blade). Took 2 teeth off to see if the metal could be hardened.

~§~

Heated both teeth to cherry for 3 min, quenched one & left other to cool.

~§~

My quenching bucket. Spark tests (grinding) on the 2 teeth gave good results.

~§~

Cleaned up both sides with abrasives (flap wheels, silicon carbide discs, etc.).

~§~

Stuck my templates to the blade…

~§~

Cut them out with angle grinder.

~§~

Centre marked a sharpening pivot point…

~§~

Drilled that mark…

~§~

Took off paper & made a sharpening jig for the belt sander.

~§~

That’s how this is going to go…

~§~

Sharpened & polished.

~§~

Heated to cherry for 3 mins (12mm = 30mins soak time). Had to keep the torch moving to keep the blade hot over its entire surface.

~§~

After quenching the blade but not the tang.

~§~

Re-polished.

~§~

Seasoned birch from my garden…

~§~

Turned some handles for my blades…

~§~

With thanks to Cap’n Eddie Castelin for his superb wood turning videos (link below).

~§~

~§~

~§~

Machined up some brass ferrules and epoxied on.

~§~

Tangs were tapered (4° included angle) to common machine taper specs (see link below)

~§~

Very pleased with results, they feel great, strop well and hold a good wire!
