I've gone steel crazy

Well
I screwed up a vanax blade.
Instead of a 8 inch blade, its 6.25 inches.
I followed the original plan of a 6 inch blade while looking at the plan saying 8 inch kitchen knife.

On A POSITIVE NOTE.
That means it's up for grabs.

0.080 thick Vanax
60.5HRC
Will be FULL CONVEX Ground to crazy thin. A real kitchen laser.

Will have RCF (rubberized carbon fiber) handles. Unless you want something else. Goal price is $400.
It's going to heat treat tomorrow.

This was an expensive lesson of
PAY ATTENTION YOU IDIOT.

 

Ohh I know.
I'm posting it here and on my Instagram. The client was very understanding and said he can wait for the full size blade. He allowed me to post it for sale.

 

I should be cutting into it next week.

I have a HUGE Z-Tuff Bowie that I need to get cut out. That takes priority at the moment.

But I am pretty damn excited for that Vanadis 8.

 

Used 2 full cutoff wheels cutting out that bowie!!!! Daaaayum that's a lot of steel to cut. I'll Post pics tomorrow once the final shape is ground.

 

Ztuff Bowie full convex grind ready for heat treating.
