i agree. they sound like a bunch of ungrateful fucks, right?
That too. I bought some tools. A new hammer, some tongs, a mandrel, a leather apron, coal, and 50 pounds of coke.
Also got a leaf spring pack from a 1 ton pickup. Hey DT! Wanna do a collaboration on a knife?
Sure.
I think the geographic issue might make it a pretty expensive knife.
I figure we work out a design for the whole thing, I'll forge the thing out, get it shaped and beveled.

Not yet, gimme a few minutes to check the design and specs. I'm still on monosteel, just got a load of 5160.


Addded; that knife is like my women, curvy. Yeah I can do that. You want to do a hidden tang or through tang?

i don't understand why you guys, with your skills, don't perfect the kitchen knife. like that kramer dude does. one that won't rust, stays sharp, looks nice, affordable and has the correct shape and length. the market for that seem to me to be huge.

There is always a trade-off. Stainless steel doesb't rust but it's a bitch to sharpen, carbon steel rusts but it holds an edge better. As for style, do you and your wife/girlfriend both have the same favorite knife?

I've always done full tang design.
My primary steel has always been 01 tool steel.
Simple heat treat,, get it up to 1500 degrees until it is no longer magnetic and quench in vegetable oil.
Two rounds of tempering at 375 and you usually can bet on a Rockwell hardness of 58-60.

5160 is a hard choice to argue against.
Just like 01, you just have to make sure your customer understands that it is not stainless and will rust or patina.

Kramer has a waiting list due to his processes.
He also commands thousands of dollars per knife with a several year waiting list.
I would love to own one, but can't justify the outlay.
The midsized chef's knife like I gave you, is by far my biggest seller of kitchen knives.
Also the wife and my favorite kitchen knife.

The cryogenically treated steel means that I only have to pass it across a good steel maybe once a year.

I go pretty much the same route with the 5160, go past critical heat, quench in warm canola oil and temper twice for an hour at 400. I've beaten the hell out of my first knife I made that way and after a year it still cuts. Curved tang? A little swell in the back for a secure grip? I usually like a swell in the middle.

well that diamond crusted steel you gave me is amazing. that may last forever. and that skinning knife was everyone's favorite when i had a bunch of guys out during white tail season. Every time i set it down someone picked it up. and we skinned a lot of deer. whatever your process is it works great.

I prefer a slightly curved tang.
I'm also a fan of a palm swell.
Maybe add a lanyard?

Brother, that's up to you.
I've put my 2 cents in, I generally don't add guards to Nessmuks. Just make this your creation.
