How did you keep that straight?

:)
well i have found that in testing that in 3/32 O1 i can plate quench and get after temper RC62
you got to be fast and i would not do it on steel thicker then 3/32
also have to remember that i don't cut bevels into the blade so that i acn get max flat to the plates for quench

also i can only do about 4 blades like this till i think my plates are too warm (all other shorter O1 blades are quenched in parks 50
 
Nice knife!!! And very interesting idea about plate quenching O1, never heard of that. Do you grind before or after H/T?
 
when i do O1 like this and i stress i have never done anything thicker then 3/32 i grind after heat treat that way i can max out the amount of flat in contact with the Al quench plates
 
few people need a knife like that, but the person who does would probably pay even more for it - I'll bet it does what it's made for 110%!
 
I don't necessarily need this knife, but I want it!

Payment sent!

I have a slicer from Butch & its a performer! You'll like this one :thumbup:
He does a great job!

Got the knife, THANK YOU!

The blade is 1/2" longer than my Yanagiba sashimi knife and is now the longest knife I own. Absolutely the highest quality in fit, finish and grind, I'm not a knifesmith but I can appreciate the skill it takes to forge that sucker flat. Sharp too!

Not only was it shipped quickly, but in bullet-proof packaging too.

It's a bit too late for BBQ season, but I'm planning on using it to carve a Turducken this Thanksgiving. Will post a pictures at that time.

Thanks Butch!
 
I was soooo tempted with this one. Lack of funds kept me from pulling the trigger on it. I sure hope you will make one when I can afford it.
