I decided to try my hand at making a wooden knife and see how well they actually worked, I was pleasantly surprised by the result. I wanted to try something a little different as opposed to making a solid blade of one type of hard wood such as Lignum Vitae.
I decided to try what the Japanese call "San Mai" which is basically a knife making technique where a hard steel core is laminated between a two softer steel plates to form a jacket.
For my "San Mai" attempt a decided to use Masaranduba, also known as Bulletwood for my hard core, book matched Olive wood scales for the jacket, a piece of Doussie, also known as Afzelia, for the handle and Wenge for the pins.
Considering that this was more an experiment than anything else and that I am nothing close to a knife maker, I am quite pleased with the result.
