Steak Knife Caddy - First time post

[drdevonjeffcoat]

Hello all. Been following the site for a while but I think it’s time to finally show something is designed.
My wife got me a beautiful steak knife set for Christmas and it seemed like a perfect opportunity to use the forge.

Materials:
Shop made maple blanks and walnut blanks around 1/8” thick.
3/16” brass rod from home store
Lots of sanding of lasered edges to get maximum effect of the two woods
Watco Danish oil finish

Traced a knife profile on paper then scanned and made svg of the profile in illustrator. Happy to get into more detail if anyone’s interested

It really came out amazing! The layered wood really shouldn’t be hidden in a drawer–it’s a work of art.
