Bruce Very nice work !!!!
I like the shape of the blade but really like the scales you used.
How come you don't like using pins to attach everything, thats all I know.
I'm afraid to try an use screws or anything else.
I also talked to Lee at Maxim oil yesterday (email)
He told me the same thing about making their 7-8 sec quench
He is willing to work with us small knifemakers and give us a good product at
a good price. John
Jason do you have the name of a contact person at Maxim oil co. And did he give you any further information on the old 7-8 sec recipe.
The main steel I have switched to is 1080. Thanks for any info you can give us. It sounds like a good quench at a good price. for the 10 sec oil,
just would...
Pieter, Dwane, thanks for your kind words.
Yea though pins gave me trouble on the pivot.
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back with everyone.
