From Thailand - may I show my work ?

Thanks everybody who drop by.

I am using K110-Bohler , the suppler said it is equivalent to D2.

Here is my process;




Out from the oven then go to Low Temp.Salt Bath

I am a little confused, perhaps something is getting lost in translation, but that bottom image is a nitrogen dewar not low temp salts; going from the oven into that would not accomplish much for the blades but would make a spectacular special effects show. You would make a whole lot of nitrogen gas in an extremely short amount of time.

Kevin, good idea to point that out to some folks that might misunderstand, but I'm pretty sure the OP understands the process. If you click on that link (it's not just a pic) you'll see him pull the blade out of that big furnace and quench it in the bath right next to the furnace. :thumbup:

 

[Kevin R. Cashen]

That would make sense if there is more to read in the link. My lack of insight results from that fact that I seldom click links to other sites within threads. Beyond the typical reasons, if I started following links off the forums I try to visit everyday my internet time would get so convoluted I wouldn't ever make it to the shop.

Great looking knives and from the video sharp too!

Dick,

Very nice work indeed.

Greg

They are absolutely awesome!!

Thanks to every one here.

As of this moment I plan on a visit to Thailand sometime in October and November.If I can convince my wife to postpone her visit with her realatives for a short time I plan to visit you. Send me an address and I will do my best to see you then.
regards,
Charley Hightower

I cabn be contacted through the email address :

I live 60 minutes from the Thai Air Port or 30 minutes down South from the center of the city.
If you stay in Bangkok I can pick you up from your hotel
We have a group of people who loves knives and we regualry meeting every Saturday at Sunday Market about noon time, if you come by then you will see alot of people who like the same thing.

nice work: what do you sell your knives for?

I am new in the knife making soceity and uor price is just cost plus (no extra charges)
Our regular price is approximate US$ 35 : one inch long of blade.
For example 5.75 - 4 inch blade is approx. US$ 140
Price includes Kydex Sheath and we make very good Sheath too.

I believe they would be great working hunter that are well made. Very good. Frank

Thanks.
