Hey all, I just got a new HT oven, and this is the first test blade out of the new kiln.
, Im really liking the thing.....and im sure Ill like it even more once i figure out what all the buttons and settings do
.
Anyway, I had a customer that wanted a knife, built but was concerened
about battoning with a knife because of the deep finger choil I use alot of times.
So to eliminate any worries, and to ease my own curiousity I tested a piece of 1/8'' 1080. The knife was stock removal made, flat ground with a convex edge.
I tried to put as much stress as possible on the tip, and choil area by directing majority of the blows with the rawhide mallet on those areas.
I was pretty satisfyed with the results
, I mean nothing to write home about, but not to shabby for a first attempt
.
Thanks for looking.
and sorry for the :barf:leg shot:barf:, but i dont wear shorts much.
