That is amazing Dan!

Time to figure out what to offer for the next bulk blade! :D

Paul does the HT on all steel that I cannot do in the shop myself. In other words, I do all my own 1095, 5160, W2, O1. Paul does my S30V, 3V, 13C26 and D2.

:thumbup:
 
D2 is really nice steel. Never had a knife before out of it till recently. Used it a lot and still not a spot on it.:thumbup:

Interested in checkin out the 3v. Don't think I have any in that either.

Dan, what are the cute little knives around the Nessmuk blade blank in that pic??
 
3V will be both tougher and better edge-holding than D2...and (with smaller carbides) less likely to microchip.


The little knives are K5 Kardas - the thicker ones to the right of the Nessmuk are in 3V and will be skeletonized (posted some here a while back in D2)...the one with a taller blade is S30V and will get handle slabs. :thumbup:

That's why I'm really interested in the 3v.

On almost all of my scandis when I really strop out the edge super fine I've gotten some microchips that have to be sharpened stropped out when I've used them on super tough stuff.

After reading about the 3v I'm interested to see how much less it does that.

Those little K5 ones are nice!
 
3V is not as fine-grained as 1095, O1 or 52100, etc. So, there will be micro-serrations in the steel - as compared to the above. BUT, as compared to D2 and S30V, it definitely has smaller/finer grain.
