bg7m Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Finished a hunter with a flat ground blade, stag, and stainless fittings. Thanks for looking Quote
brucegodlesky Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Nice clean work BG. I like threaded guards and bolsters! Quote

MetalMuncher Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 DUDE!!! As always, AWSOME looking work!! Forge on! Quote
Steve Sells Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 why did you harden the spine too? normally a differential H/T is cutting edge only. Quote
kevin (the professor) Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 very nice. I like the diff. hardening line, did you clay it? stainless for fittings - i like it. I wish I had thought of doing it. Kevin Quote
julian Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 very very cool piece. I like a lot of things about this knife, the overall polish looks smooth, nice and subtle. The bit of filework on the guard is great too, it really looks good with the angle. Awesome handle material selection! The only things I don't really like are the beefy ricasso and the hardened spine, but I still really envy how well you made this. keep up the great work! Quote
bg7m Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 why did you harden the spine too? normally a differential H/T is cutting edge only. I have an old Bowie knife I made a long time ago. I use it to cut off pieces of hart pine for kindling. The spine is soft on that knife and after years of beating on the spine with a hammer it has mushroomed out quite a bit. I know this knife will probably not be beat on, but who knows what it will be used for. I have not broken any test blades hardened this way, but plan to soon. Any of you guys broken a blade heattreated this way? Quote
bg7m Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 very nice. I like the diff. hardening line, did you clay it? stainless for fittings - i like it. I wish I had thought of doing it. Kevin Yes I use Satanite down the middle. Quote
