https://knifedogs.com/threads/hi-all.48165/ My first knives I posted here were in my introduction thread.

Another Bushcraft knife. I took this one with me out west in October and set up a little camp way up in the mountains for some testing and a little photo shoot. I’m super pleased with it. 80crv2, 5/32”. Od Green G10 with coyote brown G10 liner. Also has the divot to use as a handhold for a bow...

Got all this stuff from Tandy recently. The nice folks at our local store gave me 15% off my whole order and the mallet was already marked down to 28$. It was over $100. I bought some basic stamps, carnauba finish and gum trag. Bought a poundo board for punching holes. The water mister I bought...

Latest Bushcraft for me. 5/32” 80crv2 steel. Black G10 handle. Scandi ground. I like the burnt oil from hardening, on the flats. It’s a little different but I’m kinda liking it. She’s not perfect but you won’t find the word “China” on it anywhere :)

Beautiful Opaul. Your nailing those hamons. Looks awesome!

Looks like that is probably the case here. Let time it was calibrated was October last year. Not scheduled to be done again until October this year. Also, this certainly isn’t the one that’s locked up in the QC lab. It’s right out in the open and everyone uses it, and yes John, the people using...

Brilliant idea. I was offered a 4 or 5 gallon food warmer by a lady at our church and I turned it down. I’m gonna see if it’s still available. That would be perfect paired with a thermometer.

Ok thank you. I’m assuming 1074 is close enough to 1075 to heat treat them the same? What HT numbers do you recommend?

Yessir, I surface ground both sides of it. Ok, I was wondering about that. It seemed like it was high but I didn’t know. I’m now questioning the calibration of the Rockwell tester at work lol. Ok. Is one gallon enough? I’ll have to have a smaller quench tank and I often HT more than one knife at...

Ok so I hardened a test coupon of the 1074 steel from work and Rockwell checked it and it was coming out consistently at 74RC before tempering. I haven’t tempered yet but will post those results then. I haven’t found any good info on heat treating 1074 so I used a heat treat recipe from Alpha...

It’s only a 3 hour drive for me. I’d like to come. Should be able to make it. Depend on work schedule at the time.

Glad to hear it. That makes me feel better about using them.

Awesome. Thanks guys :)

Hey guys, have any of y’all fastened handles with pinstock of micarta or G10? I’m curious as to the best way to securely and permanently fasten the handle to the knife using these since they cannot be both epoxied and peened like I do with metal pinstock. I really like the look that can be...

Man OP! That looks awesome! Great work. :D

Good idea.

Ok thanks. I’ve been doing all my cutting with a cutoff wheel. It’s louder, dirtier, a bit more dangerous, but I just ppe up and it’s so much faster than my bandsaw.

Yeah I’m not sure how difficult it’ll be to drill at RC 32.8. I can anneal it if it won’t drill.

Heres the certs. Carbon looks good. Not sure about the rest...

I talked to the QC lady today and she’s going to get me the certs for the 1074. I’ll post them up when I get them.
