Drop point and Clip piont in aeb-l

[AJ Morocco]

I had some struggle getting the heat treat right with this steel. In the end what worked was the specs on AKS website. Heat treat as follows:
1575 equalize for 10 mins
Ramp to 1950 for 15 mins
Air cool as quickly as possible
Need to cryo after cooling to room temp.
Used rubbing alcohol and dry ice for cryo.

Handles are G10 in Ghost jade and Ghost sand. I am waiting for liners. The blades have first sanding at 80 grit.

sorry the pics didn't come out until now. I have the liners on the Clip point at this point and it's sanded to 220 grit.
