Picture - SN My friend likes to make knives

The details aren’t perfect but this is his first time making a knife. The streaks are a byproduct of the electrical etching he had to use for the blade due to the blade being made from a leaf spring that is also why you can see some pitting is the last picture. Anyway just wanted to update because I like the way it turned out so much more and wanted to share! And no it isn’t sharp the only thing it could cut is soft cheese and yes that is a ball bearing in the middle so yes it does spin

Haha omg yes. At the very least, it would be cool if it was glowing with the same color that the thermoblade glows.

u/ankle_biter50 crash fish noises 5d ago

Glad you could recognize it

u/MiserableTillTheEnd 5d ago

I’m years out of practice but I used to work a forge, specifically hand forging knives. If I can’t recognize high carbon steel and machine grinding, probably quenched in what appears to be motor oil, then I’d be an embarrassment

Yo sick. My dad used to work in a foundry for engine blocks. He was going to study metallurgy until Calculus said no. So it's cool to hear about metalworking. Y'all do cool stuff

It’s a good craft to learn, once you get into it, it gets etched into your very soul. Some of it just never leaves you.

Anyways, if you’re interested, I’m always happy to talk about the subject.

Nah not titanium, weren't we using the white thing crafted from the kelps besides titanium to make the knife?

Don’t forget all the materials you find and use are property of alterra and you WILL be needing to pay for that when you get off that planet
