Lauri Carving 125 Carbon Steel Blade with Ricasso

Turned out pretty good, it's the third blank I've put handles on, I decided to do a curly maple and padauk handle, already planning my next one.

SUPER, SUPER, SUPER DULL!
I won't buy another Lauri!
Grinding marks left are at least 60 grit.
I expected better.
Better blade blanks for the money (less finishing time).

This made a great belt knife

IMHO as 73 year old who in my fisrt 20+ years was a Full-Time customer knifemaker but can no longer trust his hands to grind blades these are well worth the money!

This is the blade that is just perfect for my bushcraft knife build courses. Whether stacked or one piece handle it’s the perfect size and weight for my customers.
