I do not regret purchasing this at all. The way you can program it is way more then I'll ever use or need. Now instead of sitting in front of the forge doing a HT I can be Heat treat and doing other things. It's going to be a game changer for me. Got to give a thanks to the folks at USA...

Well it's not really a toy but a new piece of equipment. A Paragon KM-14 heat treat oven. I heat treated my first batch of knives today. Since there is a learning curve I did 4 mini hunters made from 1095, with the price of stainless I didn't want to take a chance of messing that up. Got to...

I don't get here as often as I should. Not long ago I had to make a choice a laser or a heat treat oven. I went with the oven and am glad I did. Someday the laser will come. Hopefully in the not to distant future.

Customer picked this one up yesterday. 15.5" overall length, stone washed 1095 blade, black walnut handle. Custom designed initials etched into the blade.

It's been some time since I have posted anything so here we go. Here is a mini hunter 1095 blade and maple burl handle. Another mini hunter this one a 1095 stone washed blade and acacia handle. Here's an Ulu 14c28n stainless blade and black walnut burl handle and stand.

Well I finally had a chance to put the Boss to work. I did a few practice stiches on some scrap and then had at it. It worked great. I can see there is a little learning curve but I could be happier. Here are the first 3 sewed. Also the bottom one is my first to be tooled.

I ordered a Boss today, cant wait to get it and put it to work.

Can you post a link to that article. I keep getting an error with the search function.

I figured this would be the best place to post this. I'm thinking of getting a Tippmann Boss. Anyone here have anything good or bad to say about them. Thanks

I am looking for a 2000+ degree Non contact Pyrometer. My current unit is only good to 600. Not looking to spend to much though.

The gal who order this one loves horses. I worked with her on the etch design. I surprised her with the display. Red oak handle, stone washed blade homemade mosaic pin.

This is the largest build to date 14.5" long. My tempering oven won't take anything longer.

This one was a custom build for a guy in NJ that has a Tuna boat.

Here are the heat treat/temper & edge retention test I do on each knife. The knife shown is one I recently finished.

I've been making knives for about a year and a half now. I've made and sold 78 to date. Figured it was to cold to heat the shop today so I'm taking some time to learn this forum better. Figured to post up some of my builds. Here's the first knife I made and sold. It's made from 1095...

Vey good and helpful article, Thank you.

So far all I've ever used is 1095.

I've been tempering @ 450 for 2 hours and having good luck doing it. Is there any benefit of doing 2, 1 hour cycles?

Yes it's a 1 HP. Works great cut my time in grinding down like you wouldn't believe. Even give me better grind lines than the 1x30.
