Kyle Hanson will have this one at the show.

That's a beautiful knife Kyle, very nice.- :thumbup:

 

[Don Hanson III]

Better now Jon.

 

[John White]

Look at that steel, that mammoth, that Hanson folder!

Don, you're too much.

Don that folder is great but I think that it needs a damascus pocket clip.

 

[Kevin Jones]

Better now Jon.

Jon, I bet before too long you get Don to take some of that bark off that ivory to uncover a new folder

Much more to come.

 

[Jon Brand]

Yeah there we go Don.

Kevin- your comment made me chuckle because I brought that up multiple times in convo with Don, basically making fun of myself. This is a carry knife and built specifically for hard use if needed.. so in this case, that kind of ivory is something I requested to aid in grip. I did not want a smooth handle on this one.

Chuck- Yeah we thaught a colored clip might be too flashy (especially in NY) so there is a chance it will be replaced or recolored depending on what I think of it. We went with titanium becuase it seemed the most practical. The coloring was something we weren't sure about doing.

This knife was not supposed to be pretty originally- but as it was getting built things ended up getting more fancy and pretty because I just needed some of Don's special touch and thats what I got.

Robert- thats a cool folder!

 

[Don Hanson III]

Al, thanks for the good words about Kyle's knife.

John, you're too kind, see ya soon.

Chuck, it might get a damascus clip at some point.

Kevin, I hope Jon doesn't ask me to grind the natural surface off this one.

Thanks guys!

The smallest one. I am working on bigger ones in 115w8/75ni8 damascus and O1.

Cool. So you have figured out how to get the 115W8 to stick and a good heat treat for the damascus?

The 115w8 is amazing. Flexible at a high hardness.

Achim told me that for kitchen knives to leave it at 64 Rc but if you wanted to do stupid stuff like hammer it through bolts, you should back it off to maybe 62. You should let Kevin Cashen take at look at that damascus at Blade. He thought theyalloy formula that was written on that bar that Toni gave me last year looked very promising for making slicers.

Kevin Cashen is probably right again!:thumbup:
