Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 43 - The Tor, etching blades Media
Published: 12 years ago
This week for Knifemaking Tuesday we reveal a new project. We are building a fixed blade knife, calling it The Tor, and best of all we get the opportunity to teach a class of students how to build it too!

On November 6-9, 2012, Erik and I will be flying to Waunakee Wisconsin to the Tormach headquarters where we will be leading a workshop on CNC knifemaking. It will be a 3.5 day workshop open to 10 students. The specialty course is designed for CNC enthusiasts with a special interest in the craft of making high-end custom knives. We will be using Tormach's full machining facility as a classroom and will build 10 Tor knives, one for each student. All components will be CNC machined as much as possible, and the participants will operate the machinery under our instruction. It's going to be a lot of fun and we're very excited to have this opportunity. If you've watched any of my videos you know that I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with the world, and this will be an excellent way to give hands on training.
The next several weeks of KMT will feature the development and prototyping of The Tor, so that we have everything ready for the class in November.
At 7:48 in the video Erik explains how he used Ferric Chloride to etch some of our stainless steel blades and then did the "poor man's stonewash" to make them look really cool and rugged.
Thanks for watching!
