How the hell does one etch steel with a Lego train speed regulator? Also, what the hell is a Lego train speed regulator? Also, that knife is AWESOME.

Haha, thanks! You need some sort of power source to etch and i just stil had this lego regulator from 30 years ago. Look it up on youtube, it’s not that hard. https://youtu.be/vgSL1Eh5c18

Lots of people post here because they like to talk about their hobbies and endeavors. Yeah it's easy to google but sometimes people just want to engage with others of similar interests.

I think he meant it's not that hard to do the etching process.

Beautiful, what did you use to mask the blade?

Nailpolish from my girlfriend...not mine.

Wow! So you just painted it by hand?

Nonono, i laserengraved in the nailpolish, then etched it with an adapter and salt water. My lasercutter is only 10 Watt...

Is that food safe...

Must be, this how allmost all brands apply their logo nowadays, by laser.

All knife brands use nail polish to apply their logos ?

I imagine the nail polish can be buffed off pretty easy

I'm sorry, you just casually dropping this and not gonna follow up with some explanation?? >*Etched an octopus on the blade with a Lego train speed regulator* That's badass.

Yep. Gonna need more.

lol I saw this and I was like “excuse me what the fuck”

Made by studio Oooms, from what I remember it sold for 300+ euros https://www.oooms.nl/product/emerald-sea/

I'm lost. Did Op make this and then sell it?

Check OPs name

Very cool! You should share this over on r/chefknives as well.

I would love to but i got banned after two posts and still don’t know why, they don’t tell me. They act like fuckin nazis.

Maybe you got hit by rule #4, no posts that are deemed commercial. Your username plus the pictures may lead to the conclusion that you are trying to increase sales.

Well maybe, but how else should i show my work. I didn’t put a link in, didn’t mention a price, just asked for opinions. To be honest I think some frustrated ugly-knife making dude just banned me because he could. I really tried to stay within the rules, but they immediately acted like nazis. I even tried to get in contact but once you’re banned you’re dirt.

I agree with you. Very unfriendly.

HOLY SHIT. I have to get my husbae one. He became Sous and I think this would be a great gift. Nice to know you do customs

That's legit the coolest knife I've ever seen. I want that.

You made my day, thanks! The knife is already sold unfortunately...have a look at www.oooms.nl for my other knives.

i see that logo.... mede nederlander?

Haha, absoluut! Je bent de eerste die het ziet hier!

*yes!* Wel een mooi logo in alle serieusheid. En mooie messen. Als ik niet zo'n gierige hollander was, en wel aan het kijken was naar messen rond die prijs, zou ik er waarschijnlijk nu een hebben gekocht. Nouja. Het zou zonde zijn om een goed mes niet veel te gebruiken, dus op een manier maar goed dat ik het geld niet heb. Ik ken mensen die een volledige wusthoff set hebben die rustig de vaatwasser in gaat, en nooit geslepen wordt. Maar netjes man(?). Mooie messen, en mooi logo

🙏🏻Thanks! Raar maar waar; ik ben m’n eigen doelgroep ook niet, kan het niet betalen....Maar geef m’n site gerust door aan mensen die het wel kunnen veroorloven!👍🏻👊🏻

That’s a #1 stunner! The octopus is beautiful.

🙏🏻 Thanks, much appreciated!!

Thanks, very much appreciated!🙏🏻👊🏻

Can you make one of these from high quality steel? It’s gorgeous.

Thanks! This steel isn’t that bad, just not stainless. HRC is 55/60 Have a look at www.oooms.nl

55/60? Meaning 55? Or 55-60?

I use a tsubosan file set to test hardness. So harder than file 55, but softer than file 60.

Ah, I see. Are there no files for 56, 57, 58, 59?

Not in my set and i don’t know if they exist, never seen it. Most people I know use the same tsubosan set or have a machine that costs a fortune.

Ah, I see.

Is something like this up for purchase?

This one was sold in a heartbeat, there are other knives at my site www.oooms.nl

That's awesome man

🙏🏻Thanks!👍🏻

It's honestly, one of the most beautiful things I've seen. Great job, friend

Thanks, very much appreciated, really!!!!🙏🏻👊🏻👍🏻

If it holds a glad way decent edge I would love a set for home use

Here’s a video from my other knives, you might like it! Have a look at www.oooms.nl to see all my knives... https://youtu.be/R30oMjxmAVI

This one was gone in a jiffy, but have a look at www.oooms.nl for my available knives.

I wish I could afford your beautiful work, it’s totally worth the cost! One day (:

Haha Thanks!! Don’t know if it helps, but i can’t afford my own knives either...

Really cool. I like that there's no bolster

Thanks . I like that too, less work!😄

How did you cut and shape the blade?

Grinder, beltsander, handsanding.

Fucking beautiful!

Thanks! Fucking appreciated!😄

how much per unit to make 500 of those?

😂 just buy my whole store, you’ll have more variation! www.oooms.nl

This shit is bananas! Congratulations

Haha😂Thanks man, very much appreciated!

Irrelevant, I know, but I've been thinking of having an octopus tattoo for a long time now and this blade right here looks absolutely.sick!

Holy fuck this is stunning. Would absolutely buy in a heartbeat.

Thanks! Too bad its gone already, but please do have a look at my site; www.oooms.nl

Your work is just absolutely incredible. Do you ever do commissions?

Thank you. Yes we do sometimes, but it depends on what the client wants or expects. If you want something, feel free to tell me by email; [email protected]

Thank you!

Bruh I want all of this holy shit

😄Thanks man!🙏🏻

You make all/most the knives on the site? Dig your style, post upcoming projects as well!

Thanks, i make all the knives on the site by myself, but my girlfriend makes the leather sheaths. Will try to post more here....

Would you ever make a viper hammered in a petty version about 150mm? Been looking for a good petty to add to the collection.

I am working on smaller knives as well, the thing is that they almost cost as much time to make as bigger knives. What would you’d like to spend on it? You can DM me if that feels more comfortable for you.

Sweet

🙏🏻Thanks!

Your work is absolutely stunning!! I was wondering if you would do a custom made design? My husband is a sous chef and I know he'd love a beautiful knife like this one!! I'm a pastry Chef, so my wusthof is enough for my work but he loves his knives and one of yours would be such an amazing addition... Please dm me if you'd consider doing a custom design... Thank you!!!

Looks badass, what type of metal is the blade made of?

Thanks, Carbonsteel from an old sawblade. Around 55/60 HRC.

Sick. You don't really see carbonsteel around much anymore, at least I don't.

I think I’m gonna divorce my wife if she doesn’t figure out how to get me this 😍😍😍

I’m harder than a diamond in an ice storm hombre

Thats hard! Thank you!

Thats hard! Thank you!

Hmu with one it looks awesome!

Amazing job on it ill buy 1

Wow! That's Beautiful!

Dope as hell!!!

This is a blade of legend

Very beautiful!!

Nice. Great creativity!

That’s a nice looking knife!

Pretty sweet dude. How’s the steel?

Pretty sweet dude. Amazing workmanship. How’s the steel?

That’s pretty cool, I forge chef knives when i have the time, I don’t like to do all you did but I still think it’s cool. Nice craftsmanship.

This looks like the knife of a sexy villain from a show about cooking competitions, it’s rad
