Steve Sells Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Made from Crucible L6 and O1. 300 layer single edged blade, full tang, hidden pein in pommel. 304SS guard and pins, black micarta and a form fitting kydex sheath locks in place, with a quick release belt attachment. This was a comission made to order, but now its available, client lost job or something after completion. thanks to JMRICE01 from here, I have a loaner camera now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ivan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I really like the shape of that handle. Looks like a very solid and comfortable grip. Very nice work! -Crazy Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccustomknives Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 How does that stuff pattern out. I would think those two steels would be close enough in alloy that they wouldn't contrast well. It's hard to tell with the "loner" camera. :rolleyes: I bet it holds an edge well. Two of my fav. steels. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 The O1 is very dark with Ferric Chloide, after 40 minutes etching, then buff to shine the L6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 L 6 has nickel in it and with 0 1 does really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The handle on this one is great. Did the customer specify the blade shape, or is it a specific style? Also, is that an edge quench I see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Client design. It is a full warmed oil quench, shadow is from the angle of blade bevel. I cant imagine an edge quench with O1 turning out well :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Neat looking piece, Steve. You make the micarta or buy from supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I confess, I passed the buck on that. I went to my local gun shop, and had the guy that makes the holsters for local police make it for me. We talked about my clients needs, and added the quick release, in case the hip worn sheath got hung up while he was climbing, he could remove it from the rocks/petons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually meant the micarta handle material... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
