Mine arrived today with no issues, thanks Bill!

Your posts are always worth reading, Kevin. You do a great job of breaking the chemistry and mechanics of steel down so that they can be understood in spite of the big words that make some of us want to reach for the bottle of Excedrin Migraine...The visual aids are really helpful in this regard.

If not done properly the welding process will introduce slag inclusions and areas that don't weld, so the damascus is much more subject to error during production of the material itself. Aside from that, the question depends more on the specific alloys involved than anything else.

That looks pretty painful, Keith. I hope it mends quickly!

Thank you! The blade is 1/4" thick, COG is approximately where the front of the scales end. The clip is my design and make.

Welcome Marc, plenty of room to make yourself at home!

Real men aint skeered to make a pink knife (but we would be to carry one:) Nice knife, welcome to the club of pink knifemakers!

Welcome, Rick!

Thanks again, guys! Headed to Sweden, this one...

I'm no expert but I would pass on that one. The only option to repair something like that is to weld, and welds tend to come apart on anvils in my experience. The edges look pretty badly used all the way around, even without the missing corner I would probably pass unless it was really cheap and...

Theres nothing like getting a scrap or 2 of cheap wood and experimenting until you hit on something. Bad ideas are easier to swallow if they don't ruin a piece that you already have a lot of time sunk into, or a nice set of scales at any rate.

It's worth a try if you haven't already. My take is that it offers better wear resistance than just about any other "forgeable" steel currently availible. It is noticeably harder to finish post-HT than 0-1 or any other steel I have forged, hand sanding it is a little like working with 3v due to...

Thank you, gentlemen!

That is some nice looking damascus! I really like the shape of the guard too, it adds a nice bit of detail.

Think of it as 52100 with a bit of vanadium. It performs well, and also rusts very easy.

This is the mother of my field/tactical designs and the first one of this model to be availible in cpm3v. It features a stonewashed finish, which will be replacing the bead blasted option I have been offering as a non-reflective blade finish. Other features include a tapered tang, thumb ramp...

Nice work! The love that pours out to our troops from the members of this forum is heart warming. Thanks to all of those who care and show it with work instead of just words. God bless those who serve!

I can do a few extra sheaths for the guys who aren't set up to do them, when the time comes.

Welcome and thank you for your service!

Prayers sent, James. I hope things turn for the better.
