April 4, 201214 yr Steel used 1085. Heat treated per 1085 specs, tempered twice @375. Handle is diamond wood, bronze pins. Flat ground on my craftsman 4x48. Did quite a bit of hand sanding then buffed. I think it's the best one I have done to this point. Still not perfect but getting better. Thanks RD
April 4, 201214 yr Author Thanks. I am still trying to use the belt grinder instead of having to hand sanding so much. Just not there yet. I know Rich I need to practice on mild but all I have is 1085 and spring steel so I am practicing with knives. If they come out good they go to friends and family if not they belong to me. One day maybe they will look as good as yours. The last few you posted were awesome. RD
