Epoxy Resin Floral Knife Build

This build was quite the challenge I wasn't entirely expecting. I've never worked with resin before so taking on a knife like this was a completely different experience than I'm used to, but overall I'm super happy with what I was able to make. A big thank you to Victoria for supplying me with the handle block, it truly made for a one of a kind piece.

Way to pull it out and what a piece of art

Great build dude! Good to see you included the stuff that went wrong too. Ambitious projects almost never go the way you want them to, but you gain a wealth of knowledge from them. In the end it turned out gorgeous!

Amazing great work man

Love your videos! You and Don Nguyen are the most underrated knifemakers on TH-cam imo! How did you get such an amazing hamon?? I know that W2 is the best steel for hamons, but do you think I could achieve a similar result with 1095 and a very fast oil. There is just no W2 available in Germany… also, how did you polish the knife? I heard you have to go to a ridiculously high grit to get such definition in the hamon.

[@saccoknives]

Thank you I appreciate that! Yes you can achieve such results with 1095, I've just finished a knife with 1095 that has better hamon activity than this one. Polishing the knife is a combination of high hand sand finishing and then using silicon carbide powder to bring out the hamon after etching

don't worry about messing up that first blade my guy, everybody makes mistakes everybody has those days

Nobody’s perfect I gotta work it again and again

Leave the tip squared off until bevels are ground in? I need to try that

[@saccoknives]

My first time trying it. Helps to keep the heat down near the tip which is nice

[@santimorel]

​@@saccoknivessorry for bringing this up 2 years later. When exactly do you getting the tip? If I followed correctly it was still square after the medium/high grit finish on the disc.
