Rangerdave Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 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.

Rangerdave Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
