Nicely done. Looks like a very useful and versatile design as well. Who does the heat treat?

 

[IVKnives]

Thanks! I do my own heat treat which I'm pretty happy with, but I think I'm going to be transitioning to 1084 with my next batch of steel to see how that works out.

Very nice. If I hadn't just set down some cash on two other items I'd be on that! Why the switch to lower carbon? (Always learning and just curious).

 

[IVKnives]

sorry for the late response. lower carbon has an easier heat treat and its more reliable to heat treat too
