Hello Jamall: VERY nice blades...! I have to say that Elmax ODC115 is calling my name ..!

 

[drducati]

Nice looking users

Do they come with a sheath?

I'm really liking that Elmax with the red scales and yellow liners.

 

[KornalskiKnives]

I have two leather sheaths for ODC115 and for Hunters - please add 25$ for each to the price of knife.

Can make ABS 2 mm black sheath for 15 $ to each knife.

Thank you for watching

Nice knives Jamall, I've been watching your knives for a while now, I like your designs, clean and functional. I imagine that the maximum wear resistance treatment includes hot tempering. Does the maximum stain resistance treatment include any cold treatment?

 

[KornalskiKnives]

Tempering for max wear resistance needs 525 to 540C for minimum 2 hours.
For Elmax, M390 tempering twice at 525C for 2 hours (I hold 2h 20min).
For Vanadis10, K390, D2 I hold 3 times at 540C.

It removes RA even to 0%. You can see it on graphs.

If you mean subzero treatment - yes it can be done when tempering in low temperatures. You need to do that to remove RA.
RA can cause weakness in steel in some circumstances. Steel can crack. So it is needed to remove it as much as you can.
In high temperature tempering it is unnecessary. 525-540C for 2-3 times will do the work

J.

Edit:

Hmmm, it is important.

High temperature tempering can lower corrosion resistance. Can not have to...
But as you know there is no NONRUSTED tool steel - it is only STAIN LESS than the others

I make knives for cutting - it is important to me that my knife has perfect cutting abilities and the edge must last long even if in some circumstances a little red stain occur.
Uff - long sentence

Regards,

Adam

Hey Jamall. Are the ODC115 all sold ... i dont see them in the picture list...?

Due to USA law I removed them from my offer.

Hey Jamall,

Your knives are always very impressive. I'm sorry if this is off-topic but I'm interested in the American law to which you refer, are the knife illegal in the USA for some reason?

For those of us not in the USA, are the ODC115's available elsewhere?

Cheers,

Andy

Grimpeur,

I was mailing with Jerry Busse and he asked me to remove all my knives with hole in the guard due to HIS TRADEMARK.
http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn76172212&docId=ORC20030128055229#docIndex=8&page=1

It is working in USA so in Europe there are many manufactures and knifemakers drilling hole in the end of their blades.
This is not patented I think noone can patent hole in the knife but this particular hole is Busse Trademark in USA.
Do not know law - I am knifemaker not lawer so I removed knives with hole - I have one project it is ODC with that hole.

Answering the question - YES they are available. Just email me - adam@kornalski.com.
I will not make hole any more in my ODC

Without that hole it still looks great - I think...

Put a chamfer on that hole near the blade and you're good to go. Yours would be different style, thus you are not copying him and his "trademark" (what a joke..)
