Mr. Stewart, You're right. I should check the Forums more often and I do apologies for not getting to this much sooner and I do apologies for not getting back to you. The fact of the matter is that I'm usually met every morning with 35 to 60 Emails and don't often check all my private...

YUP! I spoke to Brad at Peter's Heat Treat. He said he would do them up special. They're going to be very tough little knives.

I'll send you an E-Mail Rex. Have a God Blessed Thanksgiving Sir.

Hey Don, We do offer grinding and it is on the Web Site. It's just not real apparent. The new site will be up in about a month. There will be a lot of changes and there will be pricing for ground stock as well. We normally grind to a 180 grit finish. A 3 x 36 piece of CPM 154 will normally be...

Good news gents. The blades are in the mail! I should have them here on Monday. It's a 55 pound box! Hope you guys are ready for a little grinding! Maybe I should call Bill and let him know.

Hey Rex, .103/.113 x 2.25 x 16 W-2 should do the trick. I'll even grind it to a 180 grit finish. You take it from there. Heck, how long have I known you? It's never a problem brother.

Randy and Bill, I spoke to Mark Vander West at Leading Edge. He is excited to be able to do his part. Once he has the blank it should only be a few days before he gets the pieces shipped out. Then you guys can have at it.

Just wanted to let you know what you are working with. As far as Hamons go I guess it's pretty basic, but I never really expected it to begin with:what!:

Actually it's the only Bark River Bravo-1 ever made with W-2 and a stacked leather handle. Please don't ask BR dealers for it. It is definitely a 1 ott.

Rex, Here is the "NO CLAY" hamon that I made with the W-2. It was a full quench in ATF. The blade was ground to about .210 before we started grinding the bevels. The Hamon came up about .320 on the edge and back about .650 off the tip. "NO CLAY"

Bubba, How in the world are you? We've been doing well. Epic, Give me a call.We'll get something out to you that your customer will love. Aldo

Here are a few pieces that have been done with the W-2.

I particularly like the color of the steel! It contrasts perfectly with orange :)

Rex, You need faster oil. Parks 50. I did a blade in ATF 2 weeks ago in Michigan(It was all I could get) I got a hamon at about a 1/2" up from the edge with "no clay". The w2 is a shallow hardening steel. This stuff more so.

Bill, Thanks for the opportunity to serve. I'm in with both feet and looking forward to the design phase! Aldo

I feel much better. :clap:When is the next one?

Cameron, How are you. Just so you know, I'm pretty easy going and easy to talk to as well. Boy, you'd think I was the "Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz"! I've got 1095 down to 1/8", not to say we couldn't grind it. We've been grinding 52100 for a week for the kitchen knife makers. Just ask...

Just remember the line about the worst day you could ever have.(Phil.1:21). With that said, I got a lot more steel! Just run it!

Hey Chaps, I know that delivery got there! I'm looking forward to seeing the next one.

Wow! You guy's have done well for yourselves! My wife called me today about something she got for me. It was a bill for $2600.00 for the new gutters! I would have rather got the Mini 14.:15:
