Robert Mayo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Nice looking knife but i'm am wondering why you just clayed the center of the blade and did not go for a softer spine? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg7m Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Nice looking knife but i'm am wondering why you just clayed the center of the blade and did not go for a softer spine? Bob Bob, I am starting to harden the spines on my knives. The center section is still soft. I have an old bowie I made a long time ago and I use it to drive through some hart pine kindling and the spine has mushroomed out quite a bit. I know this is abuse of the knife, but that is how I use it. I don't have a hardness tester but I think I have the spine just a little softer than the edge. I kinda like the way it looks.

Messerist Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Super grind! You have a pleasing sweep to the knife and I am sure it is a cutter:). Once again very superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Regardless of "why" you clayed the center or hardened what ever, Its beautiful!! I love the pattern of the diff HT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad J Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I agree, it has a very different look to it. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycat Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 That is one beautiful knife! The hamon is spectacular and I love the lines. It looks like one of those that you just wouldn't want to put down. I really like the angle of the guard in relation to the blade, and the junction of the bottom of the guard and handle. Basically, I love the whole thing! Great job and thanks for sharing. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin (the professor) Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I really like the grind and hammon. It seems to be well designed overall, too - like it would work really well as a hunter, if someone was willing to scar up that lovely surface. nice... kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
