5160 Knife Blanks. . . . .Lot's Of 'Em ! ! ! !!

[Jerry Busse]

We have over 700 blade blanks cut from virgin 5160 bar stock. They are blanchard ground to a very nice finish and measure .240 thick.

They have blade lengths of 9.5", 7.5", and 6.5". Quantities of each size are pretty even. Approx. 240 of each size.

I have pictured the 6.5" model. The others are the same pattern but with longer blades. Bolt holes are 1/4" in diameter.

We used a lot of 5160 steel when training our guys how to hand-grind blades due to its affordability. These were cut for our "apprentice knifemaker" program but were never utilized as we made the switch from handgrinding to CNC grinding in the early '90's. They are well oiled and rust free.

We are looking to sell the entire batch and are not interested in parsing it out.

I'm open for offers on this one .

If you are interested, please email me at jerry@bussecombat.com

Thanks,

Jerry

Ditto! I really want to work on a knife that thick, but lack the cutting tools for it.

Good news boys!!!! A deal has been struck with Justin Gingrich of Ranger Knives for the entire batch of over 700 blades and he has agreed to sell a very limited number to those who are interested in buying smaller quantities.


Good luck to Justin and all who get a chance to work with these blade blanks.

Thanks,

Jerry

Thanks Jerry

I am looking forward to getting the Blades in and bringing the finished product to the market. I have big plans for the blades and hope to have some finished for Blade Show.

To all that were interested in individual blanks feel free to contact me via email and we will get the details worked out. There will only be a limited number available so get them while you can.

Thank you again to Jerry and I can't wait to get a hold of them.

Sorry forgot to add my email address: justin@rangerknives.com

 

[mr_anderson]

i'd like a couple of the 6.5 blade if i can still get in on this.

 

[tknife]

Cool, I hope I can get in on this

 

[RangerJD]

Just wanted to give a quick heads up to everyone that wanted blanks. There is a limited supply that will go out to individuals and they are going fast. Just wanted to give eveyone that wanted to get in on it a chance to do so. Thank you again to all that have sent emails and spoken for one.

On a side note I am hoping to debute the line at Blade. That is if I can get the time. So if you are coming to blade and have a chance stop by and see the end result and posibly get some ideas for your own.
