Yeah, maybe not.... But being from that era, I thought it was pretty cool... Everyone's carpet ride is different I guess..

Doc.. Far out
 
Looks like fun, trade. I have never shot a .17. What sort of range have you got out of that thing?


On an unrelated note, in the not too distant future I will be the proud owner of an M-18.:D
 
The .17 HMR is very accurate and Trade has a nice bench set-up. I have killed g'hogs at 150 yds but the little pill is running out of energy at that range. Out to 100 - dead right there. Fun to shoot . . . no recoil and very little noise compared to a center fire caliber.
 
Just watched some vids from the shot KA-BAR booth and been looking around the interwebz and man... The more I look at those Snody designs the more I like the production Boss line. I could take or leave the scale design honestly but overall the production Boss looks like it would be a good little cutter. Plus I really like the sheath design they have with them. Just kind of curious what the price is going to end up being. Then the Parangatang looks like it would be a really good machete and chopper. I have some knife fever right now lol

$83.54, $109, and $82.53 for the PARANGATANG.
 
Yeah, those prices are a lot cheaper than I expected 'em to be, considering the steel used. I wish they were full-profile tangs, though.
 
How is everyone doing today? Been busy over here!!

4140 is almost ridiculously tough, but because it has relatively little carbon, it doesn't hold an edge quite to our standards (it was never really meant to be used for cutting tools). IMHO you're much better off with 1095CV for knife blades, even big honkin' ones. I'm sure it would be fine for an inexpensive beater 'hawk, though. See also, 1055.

Some of the best, and most expensive, hawks are made out of 4140. See RMJ and Storm Crow for instance, for knives 4140 may not be a great choice due to edge retention but it seems to be one of the top choices for high dollar hawks.

I have not studied this steel, or tried any hawk made of 4140 myself, just going off what i have read on the axe and tomahawk sub forum and what i have seen looking at higher costing hawks.

Yup, 3V is my huckleberry these days, but then, most of my stuff is at least 2 feet OAL. I've got 3 36" OAL blades in the next batch, which included a couple blades for WW. Got the rest of the steel inside for sketching designs upon...

That being said, I'm interested to see how 4V is going to pan out. As soon as I'm sure that Peters can handle it as well as they handle 3V, and can source some, I'll be all over that.

I did some talking recently with Dan, about 3V, 4V, M4, PD1.....and others..... After that talk the steel i really want to try out is vanadis 4 extra. And after seeing some of the Knives he is currently working on i need me a sugar momma LMAO, Man he has some amazing blades in the works.

I love talking with that Dan about steel. He is very smart and willing to take the time to explain things. And he has a lot of experience using knives and testing steel. I have learned quite a bit from our conversations and i trust his opinions. I love that he tries loads of new steels to find what works best, and i love that he tests the steel himself and not just go by whats on paper.

We talked about you a little bit too Crimson. I told him about the the 3V choppper you were making me and showed him the picture of the design drawing on the cardboard. This was before i got the picture of the blades cut out. But ill show him them once finished as well. I originally asked him about the design before you started making it to see if there was anything that should be changed for optimal performance and he said it looks like a good useful design!!

How many Knife makers are out there that will not only discuss their knives and steel for over an hour on the phone but also talk to you about other knives and designs being made from other makers? And be willing to give tips to improve knives you have being made elsewhere? Dan is in a league of his own.

If it's three phase switch any two wires.

Never mind, it's not.
