Where is a good place to buy a dewar and how big of one is usually needed.

Not sure it didnt say anything about a subzero temp. I will have to look again.

I have some D2 I am trying to get ready to heat treatment, and was wondering a few things Do I need to cryogenic quench? And if so what's better liquid nitrogen or dry ice and kerosene? Does it matter??

Stock removal. Unfortunately I do not have the means to forge yet.

So how do I achieve a distal taper. Like I told opaul tight now I do hollow ground knives. Can I still achieve a distal taper when I do hollow grinds and is the process for tapering the same as the on the handle as it is for the blade??

Sorry voice text sucks.

Yes I do mostly hollow grinds but I like the full look of a distal taper. I did my first tapered handle now I'd like to know how to match up the blade.

To taper my blade from the ricasso to the tip do it the same as the handle??

I completely agree. Apparently his grandson got ahold of it and it was way rougher than that. I'm looking to just finish it enough for him to enjoy. He himself worked on this particular blade(I think that is what happened to the plunge lines.) I'd like to finish this one. I may just finish it...

Ohhh. Ok yea thanks that does help. See when I was first shown this I thought of one of those but as I got into it I couldn't figure out how to get it pinned in place.

This is true. I may just finish it with my current ability. The man is getting up in age and wants to be able to pass it down so I think I'm finish it just not head in the direction of which it was originally thought up to be.

Yea. I like that idea.

He just asked me to finish it. I was wondering if there was a way to finish it kinda in the ballpark of the original thought behind the knife but without talking to the maker that is looking to be impossible. I'm thinking I will take that spur off and just add a bolster and scale.

I was thinking of a slotted guard but the back (for lack of better term) flares are wider than the handle of the blade or where the guard will rest. So I am not sure what to do.

Yes he asked me to finish the knife not to use but to remember his good friend. So in a word, Yes.

Sorry I had one wrong photo up I have a full picture of it now.

I believe it is the connection to the maker. Out of curiosity what are some of the problems with the blade it's soild, well made, it is already been threw heat treatment.

It does have sentimental value for him.

He does not.

So I was asked to fix and finish this knife by a man whoms knifemaker friend pasted away before he could finish. Only problem is his friend had more experience than me. So I'm confused on how he planned to put a gaurd on this knife. The end is wider than the area at which the guard goes and...
