Definitely go with the longer 30 or 60 min working times. That 5 minutes can go by way too fast while you are trying to line everything up and get it clamped.

I just had the same thing happen with a 1075 fillet/boning knife I made as a test piece. I figured I might as well make the whole blade look used so I cleaned it back up did a light mustard etch on it. I have heard that the oxide layer can provide some amount of protection, plus it looks...

Sorry, but I do not know. However I just went through something similar with a big ole' band saw type rip saw blade (almost 30' long when split and approx. 6" front to back). I found the manufacturer on line and they were nice enough to tell me what steel they use. See if your friend can...

That sir, is some fine looking work. Thank you for sharing it. That looks like it could do some serious work and just keep going.

Welcome to the site. Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

First, Thank You for your service. Next, welcome to the site. I checked out your web site and have to say that you have some good looking designs.

Wow is right - That blade came out fantastic!! You guys do some really good work together, but I think you already know that though. Thanks for doing the WIP, I know I found it to be fascinating.

Thanks for the information. I have a couple spikes laying around and have done no forging yet (other than just pounding on red steel to see what happens). I thought I might heat one of them up and see what I can make from it.

That is awesome! Congratulations to you and to mom. Glad everyone is doing good.

Congratulations! That is good news.

Very, very nice. The handles came out great and that blade is stunning.

That is nice looking and I am sure he will like it - I know I do. A quick question - What kind of carbon content do RR spikes have? Or should I ask, what type of steel are they?

Those are both fine looking knives. I really like the handles on that Ridgeback.

That pattern looks great. Should make for a good looking blade. Have a good weekend at the lake.

Beautiful work, Ed. I hope you have a great show.

Good luck with your move and with the new position. Mazak seems like a pretty solid company. We sell chip conveyors and coolant handling equipment and work in and around Mazak machines quite a bit.

Wow! Fine looking blade there.

Oh, now that is just sweet! That ferrule and ring really set that off nicely.

Well, now I'm jealous. Congrats on a very nice knife.

Very nice! I really like it.
