Randy Jr. HHH Knives Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Here is one of our new prototype knives the Black Hawk II. The blade is spirograph and the bolsters are implosion pattern OAL: 10" Blade: 5" We are thinking about making a small prodution line of this blade design in 1095 comments and critiques are always welcome so let me know what you guys think.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I actually like the bolster pattern better. I can appreciate the skill in making the blade, but it just isn't my style. Not quite sure what it is, but something is not coming together for me. Could be the dramatic contrast in colors. What did it look like without the blueing?

Altusjg Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Beautiful Blade!! Hope one day in the distant future i'll build up the skill level to produce something half as nice. Great work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That is just beautiful! What an awesome blade. How many hours do you have in a blade like this? Thanks for posting. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caius Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 looks great, but i'ts way too busy of a pattern for my tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiapan Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 i like each pattern individually but i prefer the bolster the most. looks more organic to me, which is definitely more my style. But i would LOVE to see it with a clean blade like you suggested in 1095, with the same bolster. I think that would have them compliment each other better without overloading the senses, and i would not mind using it. Also i have not had a lot of experience with 1095 but how does it take to differential hardening. I know a lot of people prefer the tool steels for that, but i have seen some really nice hamons on knives made from files and they are sometimes 1095. I think a nice steel blade with a pretty hamon with that damascas pattern for the bolsters would look just right in MY hand , If it becomes a good seller maybe i get a discount on one for the idea?

Randy Jr. HHH Knives Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Mitch: That pattern is pretty time consuming, normally 2-3 days at the forge, then the rest of the time involved with grinding h/t and finishing the knife. Tiapan: We have had pretty good luck differentially hardening 1095 blades, and we normally get some pretty nice hamons. Just let me know when your ready to order yours man and im sure we can knock a chunk off for the great idea! Thanks for looking everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
