OK Aldo, Don't look like Murph is going to say anything else, so I will tell you. [it's on me anyway] I have been making knives for a long time and Murph is a greenhorn. He got a nice hamon [your 1084] and I got nothing [Admirals 1084] He was happy all over, Because he did it and I didn't...

What is wrong with using it full strenth then pouring it back in the bottle? Jerry

Murph, I'll go ahead and get 2000 grit paper & some Flitz. Will be ready next time. {I hope] Jerry

Hay Mike, use the orig. JB-it's gray. Don't forget to oversize your holes through the blade. When I get mine peened, I give each side a couple good hits to swell the shank inside. Haven't had any trouble {unless I get careless} Jerry

Yep-Too big and too many The [many] might be fine if they were like half the dia. But what do I know, I'm just a red billy? Jerry

I don't know how anybody gets that many knives made up, that is not sold. OR are they sold and just showing them? I have tried & tried to get 10-12 made up to get in a show and can't do it. [never been a show] Jerry

Very well made, I asked what steel and they said 0-1 @65-66 rc.

Been making knives now for about 11 yrs always used 0-1 & ats34 On the 0-1 I quenched with canola or olive oil. Always had real good luck and produced a fine blade. Wanted to try something that would show a hamon line, so I got 60' of 1075-1080 & 60' of 1084 all 1/8" thick and and neither...

Thanks Milt, got 6-8 pcs of 1095 laying around the shop, said I would never use it again after 8 busted or wavey blades, but maybe I'm tooo hardheaded. Never really believed too much in TRUE quench oil before but have changed my mind. Perks is a pain but have some Mc-carr 11 on the way...

Del, you and Rusty both say parks. I just didn't want to wait a month before I could get started. Suppose, I'll just use SS and 0-1 until then. I made some brine the other day and tried it. Got 5 cracks in one blade, Won't try that again.But I do want the best H T possable. Thanks for the...

McM. Carr-11 sec oil is said to quench in a average of that time. BUT what thickness is that based on? If it is based on 1/2 thickness then shouldn't 1/8" steel quench faster? I am looking to quench 1075-80 & 1084.And want that to be my primery steel,backed up with 0-1. The price...

Man it's a bummer to lose your off time! On the hunt, there wasn't any Red Deer spotted all day. The man said to thin some of his over stock, so I picked a yearling Axis and a uwl-uwe-uwa- damn female sheep. got both of mine. Two others didn't get anything but ducks, which we hunted in...
