My son is 3 and he always wants to help with everything I am doing so I put him to work. He says its for bears. We had fun so I thought I would share our project.

Nice! A real gem, thanks for sharing and some inspiration.

Thanks for the link. After I profile I like to grind the whole blade section to 4,6, or 800 depending on what my final fish will be because it is easiest to keep everything flat at this point. I like to hollow grind and don't like to go too close to the spine so at this point I have found it...

Ok, thanks. I can't believe the depth of the scratches!

Is all steel shipped with the same finish no matter who you get it from? For example, I received some 440c that was ground by what looks to be a 24 grit belt. Does all 440c come like this or does the shipped condition vary? I noticed that 1084 and 01 come with different size scratches too.

All I have is a grizzly with a 10" wheel so my ditch grinds didn't get very deep. Another excuse to upgrade! I haven't studied Mr. Loveless yet so this is a good excuse to do that too. Thank you for your time.

Again, thanks for the help. I decided to try a tang taper and distal taper on a piece of 01 because I was expecting to screw it up but to my surprise I think it came out really good. The hollow grind fit nicely into the taper and it wasn't too hard to end the tapers in the half inch I planned...

Thanks for your time guys. I may need to start incorporating a 2" ricasso into my design.:what!: This will be cool to try. Lately i have done away with the ricasso (except for in front of guards) and been doing a mirror finish.

I recently did some homework and tried to do a couple tapered tangs. The tang came out clean and even but where the taper stops is a problem. I don't want to stop it where the scale or bolster rests and I want my flat work to be flat but if I end it where my bevels are then my bevels are...

Hello from Hughson

Ok, thanks. For some reason I thought it could be heat treated like 1084. Maybe in the damascus application?

Is 15n20 the most stain resistant knife steel that can be heat treated with out an oven?
