Happy Birthday Jeremy! Oh, and YES, Ban's knives are by far the sharpest I have ever owned. :eek: Unreal convex edges!!
 
This would make a fine little bushcraft knife.

Just ordered a 3V, 4.5" blade elsewhere :O so I guess there is potential in that type of knife.

Good job.
 
Ah you finally finished them and put them up. Congrats Ban. Those are excellent deals. Let me know when you make more. That recurve is really cool.
 
First of all. Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Chickenplucker, I can etch my logo on the ricasso if you want it. I will be doing a smaller stamp logo on the ricasso in the future. I don't want to etch the main bevel because it will get screwed up when I have to polish out the convex edges or refurbish a knife.

Kellyglanzer, The blades were sent out and professionally heat treated and cryo'd. I am looking to switching over to A2 after I finish the rest of this 3V stock I have. 3V is a real pain in the rear for me to polish out.

Marcelo, The BT4 was the very first proto. I decided to extend the handle slabs when I made the BT4Recurve. It was mainly for aesthetics.

If the interest is there then I may do a run of 20 or so BT4s and then move on to another model.

Both knives are SPF!
