Eric,I'm thinking about doing a passaround on one in the next batch.Next blades will be Sandvik 19C27 stainless,Hope to have them at 61 to 62 RC w/ cryo treatment.

That blade shape is killer.

 

[Rick Haney Design]

Sounds like one tough blade. I have yet to work with the Sandvik, still working on a sheet of CPM-154

 

[Rick Haney Design]

Eric,From the little research I've done on Sandvik 19C27.It on par with other high tech stainless steels such as Cm 154,ATS-34,VG-10,Sandvik claims high wear resistance @ 60 to 63 RC w/ cryo.Plus,The cost is reasonable compared to CPM stainless.Just another choice for knifemakers.Just arrived today,I like this stuff already.Comes cold rolled,Slick finish.No hand sanding the scale off.Hopefully more makers will try it.

Did you order from Admiral or do you have another secret supplier? O-1 and 154 are my primes but always looking for new stuff to tinker with

 

[Rick Haney Design]

Eric,I did get it from Admiral.They are Sandvik's US distributor,Any of the Sandvik stainless should make a hell of a blade.Fixing to cut & profile some cool fixed blade designs with it.

Just finished up on the Dragonfire for Blade.

I've been playing around with my sand blaster,This is my first tumble finished knife.Blade,liners,clip,hardware.I'm liking this design alot,This thing has some serious grippage!

Hope you like it,My brother-in-law wants me to make him one once he got to play with it today.I'm secretly making him one with orange G-10(Tn Vols colors).

 

[TekSec]

Nah, I don't like it, just send me one...

Seriously great design! I'd love to get one of those. Good luck at Blade and sell lots!

 

[Rick Haney Design]

Erik,Thanks.Hope to sell everything I bring to Blade.
