January 30, 201214 yr The blade shape started out as a spear point, I was wanting to do a edge quanch to get the nose to come up alittle. So I edge quanched it in warm brine three times to get it straight.Temper 3 times Etched in vinger. Steel-1050 Guard-blacken steel with a geram silver spacer in front Handle-Honey mesquite wood tru-oil finish
January 30, 201214 yr I like it very much! Looks to be quite stout. Nice handle too. What are the dimensions? Thanks for posting. Mitch
March 3, 201214 yr That is a fine looking knife. The guard looks interestingly different. Can you post a closeup of the guard area?
March 13, 201214 yr That is a beautiful knife! :) Question, about how long (hour wise) did it take you start to finish on this knife? Just curious.. Ben
March 15, 201214 yr Help? I do not do edge quench on any of my carbon steel blades. I do a full quench. But have worked with metal all of my life. I have always used a form of quenching to help straighten out things in items like welded frames etc. I heat the area to be straightened and quench with water. It shrinks. Trying to get my head around how an edge quench would cause the tip to raise up or move away from the quenchant. Thoughts? Or did I not read the post right?
