This is posted in shop talk, but I thought some of you who hang out here might be interested.
I find making a "set" of anything a challenge, its also fun and rewarding.
The steel is W2. The blades were fully hardened then they were set, edge down, in wet sand and stress relieved along the spine and tang. Two tempers at 435.
Handle materials: Green dyed maple, jade green G10, sea cow rib bone with big leaf western red maple.
A wood working friend will be making a wooden counter standing block to hold the sharp things, using the same materials as the handles are made from.
