Now, as I have loads of time, being at home, at least I wanted to create something I normally don't have the time for, not easy with the limited tools at home.įirst I hand sanded the blade to a mirror polish, but I couldn't get rif if very tiny scratches, so at the end, I decided for a hand rubbed satin finish with 1200 grit. The idea was a little knife for edc, with totally stainless materials. I like the material, being from north europe, close to the north sea, I like this northern ivory, highly apreceiated in viking times. Some time back a friend gave me a piece of walrus ivory and ever since I was thinking where to use it. Just before the lockdown started, I made a blade from m390 for my "Aficionado" model, my version of the Loveless City Knife, the original design tweaked here and there, a little wider blade and pronounced guard to prevent slipping into the edge and the dropped edge so it will look good even after years of sharpening. My workshop is a 30km away and at home I just have a file, sandpaper, jigsaw, blowtorch, not much to make a decent knife. So here in Spain we're confined now since a 5 weeks.
