Wow, that's nice!

I follow NJ Steel Baron on Facebook. This was posted earlier today: "This is the story with the 1084 and W2. It has been a comedy of era's. Our apologies for all the waiting and thank you for your patience. Aldo VESSEL: OOCL KUALA LUMPUR ISI TRADING Both containers FCIU2805998 and TCKU2829516...

That's a fine knife. Great of you to share the story with us, as well!

Snowbeast, try drilling holes around the outside of your pattern, 1/8 inch or so bit. Use a hacksaw to connect the holes and drop off the scrap, it goes a lot faster. Can also hacksaw from the edge of the barstock down to your holes, every 3rd or 4th hole or so. Then clamp your blade in a vise...

Can you describe your heat treat routine? Maybe someone can troubleshoot.

Way to go, Steven! You certainly earned it!

Very impressive all around.

Tru-Oil is good stuff. Like your WIP! Nice work.

Unexpectedly good news!

One for an Old Friend Finished one for a high school friend I haven't seen in 24 years or so. Feeling old thinking about that. Anyway, he saw my stuff on FB and requested a drop point with wood scales, surprise him with species of wood and everything else. He's sending some money and still...

I'm not sure, Steve. I've not tried to heat steel to that degree in my little get-up. While forging interests me, my list of to-get items is already out of control. Maybe in another year or so I'll try hammering.

Thanks for the input, gentlemen. Puts me at ease.

Thanks George! That's great to know. Did you treat the 15n20 as you would 1080/1084? I've thought about trying stainless and sending out for heat treating. I'm not getting enough per knife quite yet... Could give the option for kitchen knives and explain the added cost, I suppose.

Hello Dogs - asking for some advice his evening. I've had requests for two kitchen knives. Sweet! Not sure I can pull it off... Everything I've made so far has used 1084. I harden my blades in a paint can forge, and its worked well from all the feedback I've received. But I can only find...

Good juju headed your way.

Boss's post gave me a nudge - would love to participate if I'm still able!

Nice all around! Might have to steal that sheath idea myself...

Thanks, Bubba-san! Was good to meet you at the show the other day. Your work is incredible!

My first try at a matching pair - a friend wanted one for herself and her Pop. Not exactly identical twins...maybe fraternal is more appropriate. *laughs* She was pleased with her purchase, and this is her pic. And her sweet cutting board, I'm assuming. I bought the $60 box of G10 and...

Congratulations to all! A LOT of skill and talent on this forum!
