Paul, thanks for the clarification. I have been bothering you so much about stamps, leather and what-not over email and PM that I figured I would start a chat in the Sheath/Leather area about the round knife to see what people were using. I am glad you chimed in. My goal is to not only make...

Laurence, so I can take a 1/8" thick piece of CPM 154cm, full tang, cut it out, and then profile it so the edge is about .040" before heat treat, and have the bevels go up about 3/8" from the edge like Paul Long suggested and shoot for 60 - 61 RC. Then final grind it, I should come out with an...

Mr.Cashen, was I out of line and my understanding will not lead me to the results I believe them to be?

Thanks for posting this. I know that I was part of the problem and trying to understand everything.

Thanks Mr. Paul Long! When you say steel thickness you area talking about that is the thickness of the edge correct, not the thickness of the entire full tang round knife? I snagged a piece of cpm 154 cm from Aldo ( New Jersey Steel Baron ) so I think I will try that out. The thickness of...

Nice!!!! Good for him. Getting married is an awesome experience and I can't wait to see my file guide with his name on it!!!

Chef: How far up the blade would you grind? Now I come to the problem of finding the size of steel for just one knife. Most of the time, not cost effective. like a 6" x 6" x 1/8". hmmmm

I do want to make my own but from just looking at the knives, I think1/16-3/32" thick. And I was thinking CPM 154cm. But I need to find like a 6" x 6" x 1/16" piece to make my knife, full tang. We will see if anyone chimes in with pictures or detailed specs.

So I figured I would post this hear because the leather guys would be using the round knives. I am thinking about making my own round knife, but since I have only seen flat pictures of them I was hoping you guys could tell me about how thick the steel usually is, and the type of grind they have...

Thanks guys. I really like how this knife turned out. I haven't got to talk to my family friend to see if he liked it or not.

Yeah, I called and they said that happens with what I had done and I just need to follow the icing schedule and then little sheet of exercises that I am suppose to do. So I have just been lurking as much as I could.

I will add that I love my file guide. I use it all the time. And I was just put on the list for a stainless one with a 3" wide opening.

I was thinking about this lately. How long do the shoulders need to be?

Looks Great!!!!

Your awesome KT. Brian

Hey John, I would guess that where they are being held isn't getting to the same temp as the rest of the steel. Look at this: http://usaknifemaker.com/heat-treat-ovens-and-accessories-c-57/heat-treat-accessories-c-57-115/evenheat-blade-fixture-mk1-designed-for-knife-ovens.html this holder...

I am pretty sure that I have a whole bunch of fluid in my knee. When I do the exercises that was given to me I can hear like liquid swishing and moving around. Like what you hear in your stomach after drinking lots of liquids. Pretty weird

Thanks. It's amazing what you come across on the net when you spend tons of time on the net. Just continuing my knife education

Joe Calton took me under his wing and showed me how he does it like you guy are talking and even let me mess up some of his guard material. I think I just need to work slower and I plan on using a file guide to help me with to make it strait to start out with. When I eventually get something...

Thanks! Its getting bad, when I am getting addicted to making knives. When I started everyone said welcome to the addiction. They were not joking.
