I'm looking forward hearing from you how the next ats-34 batch turned out. I'm after some good anti scale product for cpm 154. Do you have any idea on how thick the decarb layer was on the ats-34 you did earlier? Regards Jakob Nylund

Thanks fo all the answers! The slowest speed on the saw is 80fpm and the fastest is 200fpm. Today I've been running it on 120fpm and cut out about 35 blades. I'm using a bit cutting fluid for each blade, but not much. Should I slow it down to 80 instead? Regards Jakob

Hi I've got a quick qestion. Will I ruin my bandsaw blades if I run them on the highest speed on a three speed hf vertical bandsaw? I'm using vari tooth bi metal blades and cut 5/32'' thick cpm 154. I have a lot of blades to cut and only one sawblade left... Regards Jakob

Thank you for your answer Ed! Do you think that I would be better using high quality (ceramic?) 50/60 grits belt instead for the courser 36 or even 24 grit belts when grinding after ht? Usually I use 36, 80, 320, 900 or just 60,320, 900 both metods are as fast as the other. I'm using a...

Hi, I know some of you are grinding your bevels after ht. I've heard it's quite common for folder makers who usually make smaller blades. I'm a scandi maker and make quite small blades compared to you guys. Most of my blades are 3''-4'' long. I think I could save me some trouble with...

Did you weld after or before HT and when did you notice the cracks? Regards Jakob

Thank you! :) Jakob

Here is the latest knife I've made. A traditional one piece scandi with an alderoot handle and o1 blade. What do you think? Regards Jakob Nylund

Great idea! At what temperature do you temper at, high or low temper? Will this work for carbon steel blades aswell? Regards Jakob

Thank you for all your ideas! When using cold blue and colorox to create rust, will the blade start rust more easily then a blade etched in vinegar? Regards Jakob

Thanks, I will have to try that. Regards Jakob

Do anybody have a good etching solution for making your knife blades look antique? I don't want a plain black or grey blade, I would like a bit more textured etch. Maybe a mix of mustard and vinegar? Regards Jakob

Yeah I will definetly get some better Bi-metal blades. We do got a local company from who we buy blades from. We are regular customers for wood cutting blades and can get bi-metal blades quite cheap from them. I will also make a better toolrest for it. Are there any other modifications I...

Hello! I've been after a metall cutting bandsaw for quite sometime now. Yesterday I finally found the chinese made "HF 4x6 bandsaw" locally. Quite a surprise since I live in Finland and haven't seen them for sale anywhere in Europe before. I mounted it today and tried cutting some mild...

I'm looking forward seeing this blade etched! I also look forward seeing some pics from you canister welding!!

http://www.crucibleservice.com/eselector/prodbyapp/tooldie/cpm3vt.html Crucible says it's air hardening but will it be to slow for knife blades? Have the plate temperature and size any effect on the final result. I haven't tried the steel yet but will do. Regards Jakob Nylund

Yes, but I already have the wheel and it fits to my buffer so I could just glue the leather to the wheel I guess? I also have the leather already...

Hi, I need some sort of sharpening wheel for final polishing of the edge. What would you prefer, a paper or a leather wheel? I have a buffer that runs at 100-600 rpm. I also have a big 16'' wooden wheel that I could make into a leather wheel and use with the buffer. What do you...

Thanks for the nice comments! I still have 16" left of that bar that I will make into blades, mabe I will send some of away to be precision grinded for coming folder projects. Regards Jakob and Simon Nylund

Hello! I tought I would show you our latest knife. It's made by my brother and it's a rather short knife, I think the handle is about 3,5 inch. The blade is made out of damasteel. The pattern is called Sävsjö and is a custom made pattern, I won a bar in a knifemaking competition in Sweden...
