Just finished this cute little EDC that has stabilized satin finish walnut. I got the walnut from the mountains of SC near our family farm and had it stabilized. She is made of CPM154 stainless and feels like she grew in your hand. I love this design...compact, comfortable, and she cuts well. Thanks for looking! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/nzxZVW7z/GON-Walnut-EDC.jpg)

When making a knife I do everything. Cut out the blade from bar stock, grind, heat treat, temper, finish, make the sheath, sharpen. I’m a one man show.
That blade is made by “stock removal”, not forging. I do, however, forge blades as well.

Does “stock removal” make a better knife than forging?

Depends on who you are talking to,
and materials used, maker, procedures and processes.
The forging guys end up doing stock removal.

Not sure I am ready to try that yet. Although very nice knife! I sure like the contour. Right now I have only done handles made from wood I cut.
