Hi friends. Have a few custom orders I did that I’d like to show. Hope you like them.
Shop Details – Crocodile Hunter Knife:
5160 Spring Steel cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, three times, to remove stresses and align crystals. Heat Hardened until blade became nonmagnetic, then quenched in 125 degree quality oil. Tempered the blade to a straw hardness @ 425 degrees for 1 hour, letting it air cool and repeating once more. Blade was file tested and is shown to be very hard.
Shop Details for the Damascus Knives:
Material = (4) layers 5160, (3) layers 203E, (3) layers 52100, (3) layers 15N20 folded 5 times for 416 damascus layers. 5160 Spring Steel cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, then quenched in quality oil. Tempered the blade @ 350 degrees for 1 hour, letting it air cool and repeating once more. Blade was file tested and is shown to be very hard. Got the Damascus from Alabama Damascus.

Released a Youtube Video on this one last night. Thought I'd attach it. It's got some neat clips of the outback and a demonstration of the knife.
