- differential quench in hammer an edge.
- Steel: O1

That is a nice one cable damascus bowie my friend.

It was a lot o forge and that knife is a good knife

I'm doing well Jose, thank you. The weather's been fine, high 50s and starting to hit the 60s. I know it doesn't sound particularly warm to you but it's a glorious spring here in Alaska. A couple friends are coming over Saturday, I've been showing them blacksmithing and they trade help around here for it.

Heck, I'm thinking I may weld up a billet while the guys work on learning projects. I've been thinking of making a blade, it's not something I do often but sharp pointy things are so cool. <grin>

Okay, enough hijacking the thread. Jose, that is a stunning knife! I really like it. Both of my children came by the screen and had to stop and comment on its beauty.

That blade is a real beauty Jose! After annealing, do you blunt the teeth of the file a little, or a lot?

Thanks Jose, I knew I got it wrong as soon as I saw it. Sometimes I wonder how I could've grown up with so many Mexican friends and not picked up more Spanish than it takes to order a meal or get in a fight. Oh yeah, order another cervesa.

Oh yeah, I just call them like I see them and I see some high quality work on your pages.

Hola Jose: You have a large body of very nice work, I'm going to have to run a translation program to read the text, I habla muy picito Espanol I don't remember how to spell picito, I mean small.

Thanks again,

Frosty The Lucky.

Good morning Frosty!
