Looks nice man; you have to start somewhere. The others are right about the rear being hard, but you say you did not quench the rear..Maybe you will still be able to drill. Curious..how did you heat treat this? As for the handles, cnc is right about the way they are usually done. You really...

He did reply to an email I sent. He said that he got the material from the tower from a ladder comapny with FDNY. He did nort specify which and also said that he did not have any more. I don't have any contacts with FDNY, especially any that might now where I could find some of this stuff.

I saw a thing yesterday in the latest edition of the NRA magazine where a charity knife built by Jerry Fisk had a damascus blade forged from steel from one of the twin towers and also the USS Cole. The knife brought more than $25k at auction. I would really like to do a charity knife myself...

That's awesome man. I have looked and looked for whitetail sheds and never found one.

Looks like you are off to a great start, keep up the good work :)

Well that is cool. Neat how you did your own there. I bet the action is phenominal.

By the way, the knife brought $2000 at auction. 100% proceeds go to St. Jude :)

It has bearings :) Very smooth

Appreciate it Brad :)

Made two of these. One for a customer and one will be donated for auction to benefit St. Jude Children's hospital.

Those were customer request, and seem to be pretty popular right now. That Ti is something else. It is some pretty tough stuff.

Some of the handle work in process

A little pocket clip work

Here are the blades roughed in before heat treat -

For starters, This is what we have: I have enough material here for two knives. I'm going to make two of them, right along side each other. One will be donated for auction for St. Jude Childrens hospital, and the other either carried by myself or reserved for the person it was designed...

My buyer wants this stuff for a flipper design I'm going to make. rhinoknives--I was of the understanding that cpm s35vn was the answer to cpm s30v. Something about s35vn was easier to grind, polish, work etc..but it came at a cost because it never did really hold up as well as the original...

So I was commisioned about a year ago to build a new flipper designed for a friend. He apparently knows more about blade steels than I do. Saturday, at Blade, I gathered the materials for the knife, which I have just not gotten around to buying yet. In my search for blade steel, I had...

Yowza! Wow man! What a great job. Glad my tutorials as well as others helped you out. Nice to see makers succeed with these, because like you say - they are very challenging. Keep up the good work :)

I have a coworker who is really into Queen cutlery knives. He has been having trouble finding one so I suggested we look on Ebay. There were some there, and he really liked a few of them. I just left it at that, figured I'd suprise him. I won the auction, and got the knife about two weeks later...

That's great man. Congrats on the great prize. I could sure use a tractor at the house. I know you will put it to good use. Every year the company I work for has a safety drawing. You have to have perfect attendance and no safety violations. They put your name on a ping pong ball and draw out...
