Hi Tomo. Good to hear from you. Busy?? Like a cat covering up. You?

Does anyone out there have some 1/8"X 1 1/2" high carbon steel? Anything simple like 1095 or 1084. I thought I'd check here before ordering from out of town. Thanks,:bud:

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.:bud:

Mine are a little outside the norm of hunters and Bowies.

Welcome to Knifedogs guys. I am really glad to see we have our own forum here at Knifedogs. I'll see some of you this weekend at the Chisolm trail show. 2thumbs

[SIZE="3"]That unit looks like it should work. I don't know about the voltage, or amperage etc required, but the fact that it is an ac/dc converter with a rheostat looks good. I get my stencils from Marking Methods. You can reach them at Marking Methods, Inc. - Los Angeles 301 South...

Hey Paul... Glad to see ya here on the forums. Welcome aboard. You should get here just in time for the OTHER kind of fun weather.:D

There is the rub. Finding W1 or W2 flat stock is all but impossible. All I have found available is round stock that has to be forged down. If you have the ability to forge or a local friend who does I would sell you a foot of W2 5/8" round stock.

Actually Aldo's 1084 takes a pretty nice hamon in Parks 50 oil. You can get a nice curvy line but not the real active line of a water quench. I broke 8 blades before accepting that I was not going to water quench the 1084. 1080 will water quench nicely but w1 or w2 is better. Here is an oil...

Great looking knife Phil. It's always good to see another Kansas boy and KCKA member making good and getting the recognition. Congrats2thumbs2thumbs

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. Be safe and stay warm.2thumbs

This year my family finally took me seriously. I got sanding belts and gift certificates to the Big Tool Store.Myfamily consists of almost all girls. Wife and two daughters, sister-in-law etc. In years past I ask for knifemaking stuff and get gift cards to various clothing storers. They don't...

Our own Les George has made a nice knife from XHP and is doing a pass around for people to test out. Go here http://www.knifedogs.com/showthread.php?t=1866 for more info on it. Besides... you gotta figure if Dozier moves from his beloved D2 the XHP has got to be some killer knife steel.

What Mr. Eller said plus remember..."Honor is what you do, or how you behave when no one is looking". Then there is never a moral dilema to deal with.. Good job sir

If your making customs I guess you should carry one of your own This is my Guardian model with clay tempered W1 steel

Dacks, I don't know which I like best... the bladework or the sheaths. They are both outstanding. Keep it up sir.2thumbs

Just my initials stylized to look like Japanese kanji

I agree. That was really good press for the whole custom knife industry.2thumbs

Seved, D2 is an air hardening steel. Normalizing would be a bad idea I think. It should be hardened at1875 degrees F and quenched in air (or oil) then tempered twice at 450 degrees F for two hours each. Let cool between tempers in still air. This should get you a Rc hardness of about58 and...
