Whats on the bench!!!

[Ernie Swanson]

Just because I have always wanted to and because now I have a bench..........

Here are a couple drop points I am working on today, they are 1095 that I received from great lakes water jet.

And you might recognize the charity build off kit sitting there too!!!!

Thats number 2,3,4 for me!!!


Now I just need to decide if I want to atempt heat treating the 1095 myself in my little 2 brick forge or send them out to Peter's Heat Treat.


Thanks for looking!!!

Well I got the two drop points sanded to 400. And ready for heat treat.

now to decide if I want to try it or send it out.

Just MHO if you are going to sell these I would send out for H/T.Make some to test your H/Ting that your not going to send to a customer,some you can destroy.If your gonna keep them,do it youself and beat the snot out of them.

I agree with SBuzek. I recently started getting orders and was going to do the HT myself. Bill Coye saved me the headache of not knowing how hard they actually got. Last thing I want is to sell a knife to someone and it fails there expectations. More so that they paid there hard earned dollar for it.

Good luck either way!
