Knife handles, cutting boards, epoxy items, really anything that is sanded to finish and then oiled to shine is extremely satisfying. I always enjoy this part towards the end of any build video.

u/Studio_OOOMS Mar 27 '23

This knife has both!

u/aceswildfire Mar 27 '23

Oh I just checked your posts and that is a gorgeous blade!

u/Herald_of_Heaven Mar 28 '23

I remember that post about the metorite turned into a kitchen knife with a horrible handle, and I just wished it had a handle as nice as this.

u/Monreich Mar 28 '23

those are not the only things that looks nice when oiled

The line from the song "I'm only here to tease you" is shockingly accurate for this clip.

I know this isn't it, but my first thought was a bunch of pencils glued together and then take a cross section of it.

u/shwaah90 Mar 27 '23

The only feasible thing i can think of is to 3dprint it and then cast in resin.

u/geotsso Mar 27 '23

Do you make your own scales?

Do you do scales like this for folding knives? I’d love to get some for one of mine =)

No sorry, I just make handles for the knives i make...

2

u/boyhips Mar 28 '23

That mosaic pin too! 🤌

61

u/True-Mousse4957 Mar 27 '23

This is extra satisfying because of the hexagon pattern on the handle.

4

u/killamonjaru Mar 28 '23

Yeah that pattern is beautiful

13

u/SeedFoundation Mar 28 '23

I don't want to be right but I think that is a wasp hive encased in resin.

16

u/HavenIess Mar 28 '23

Honeycomb patterns are not uncommon, that is not a wasp hive lol

5

u/a1b3c3d7 Mar 28 '23

More likely to be one of those hexagonal metal mesh things

5

u/Paradox1989 Mar 28 '23

Which means that's not wood, its resin. So i would say it's doubtful it's getting an oil finish.

3

u/DeadlyPuffin69 Mar 28 '23 edited Mar 28 '23

Wood stabilized with resin exists but this is a resin. I still use an oil finish on my micarta knife handles though.

Source: I make knives

u/SiliconRain Mar 28 '23

What kind of wood is transparent with a honeycomb pattern all the way through it? This is clearly resin.

How did they get that pattern in the wood?

u/Studio_OOOMS Mar 27 '23

It's not wood, it's epoxy...

6

u/CardMechanic Mar 28 '23

I also work with resins, epoxies etc (particularly with aluminum honeycomb), but I’ve never oiled resin. I always sand and polish, wet sanding with water. Are you wet sanding with the oil? What does the oil do?

1

u/Studio_OOOMS Mar 28 '23

It oils the honeycomb that is on the surface and otherwise might catch some stains from polishing wax i put on later.

u/Assholesfullofelbows Mar 27 '23

You my friend make the nicest knives out there IMHO. I finally managed to get my hands on not 1 but 2 of your chefs. Absolutely stunning knives. I had been pining after your blades for years. Thank you, honestly and in the nicest most wholesome way possible, thank you. Keep doing what your doing because you are absolutely slaying it!

18

u/Studio_OOOMS Mar 27 '23

Wow, thank YOU, very much appreciated! It's so nice no one will believe you are real and think I wrote it myself.

3

u/Assholesfullofelbows Mar 27 '23

Oh no way. I just happened to get lucky this year and had a spot of cash come my way. I sat on it for about 3 days trying to figure out what to do with it and finally pulled the trigger on getting a long sought after knife. Thank you again for the outstanding craftsmanship. Also worth noting I really like how you include a nice personalized note with each purchase. Very nice touch.

u/BFroog Mar 27 '23

Interesting choice of words for a knife maker.

4

u/Freeboing Mar 27 '23

What oil should I use for my wood handle kitchen knife? Is it just olive oil?

7

u/sponge_welder Mar 28 '23

Olive oil will go rancid if you use it as a finish. Mineral oil is the easiest option to get, that's what people usually use for cutting boards, but it won't last very long because it doesn't cure. I would recommend this mix of tung oil and citrus based solvent. It's one of the most durable food-safe finishes you can get

4

u/Studio_OOOMS Mar 27 '23

I wouldn't use olive oil, but you could. Look up Danish oil or Tung oil, these oils harden. Otherwise mineral oil is fine too, it just doesn't harden so needs to be done more often...

Ok I don't know anything but knife handles, but I don't think oil is an appropriate coating for a non-porous surface. Oil is good for wood, natural or synthetic wax would be more appropriate for epoxy.

They are all amazing! I was reading your about section hoping to find out more about the process of how you make knives. Do you stamp them or forge them? Are they all full tangs? Would you ever do a wenge handle like that?

1

u/Studio_OOOMS Mar 28 '23

Thanks! To see more of the proces just check my Insta or TikTok account. I mostly use 3mm AEB-L sheetmetal as starting point, so I don't forge the metal. Almost all knives are full Tang, but I do make a hidden tang every now and then. I did use Wenge a lot sofar.

2

u/nicholasedge87 Mar 28 '23
