Hey I don't post much here but I wanted to share this-
A good customer wanted a slightly different version of the Zombie Hunter. By slightly different I mean same steel and heat treat (differentially heat treated 52100 at .200 thick) but with a longer handle and shape and more of the BEEK style blade. This is what we came up with. I actually had to do 2x the work as he ordered one for him and one for a friend plus a little booger. I am freaking wiped out after all the finish work on these guys.
Specs-
Steel 51200
Differentially heat treated in a salt pot, normalized x 3, edge quenched x 3 and tempered x 3 (thank you Ed Caffrey!)
.200 thick
13" of blade and 21" overall
Black linen micarta handles and ss tubing
Coyote Tan kydex for both and an extra black one for the customer.
Weight is only 1# 9.25oz very fast in the hand!
I hope the customer enjoy them- ie chops down some stuff!
