Just finished one for myself

Thanks for all the comments, everybody, I appreciate it!




Well, I would actually love to sell this one, but it had a welded tang, and the weld failed, so the tang only sticks into the handle about 1-1/8". Probably would never be a problem, but I'm not comfortable selling it like that so, I'm not.

Here's another one I just finished that I wish I could sell. But my stamp is crooked and part of it is below the guard....

Tell me the entire process for your welding, I mean do you use TIG, MIG, STICK, welding to mild steel, brazing to brass, and the treatment after the welding.

There is a key element in welding high carbon steel to other elements that I believe is overlooked by a lot of people.

Truly beautiful stuff bro! But I can see where you're coming from with the short tang, it would suck to have a knife fail on a customer. I'm really impressed looks like I've got a big mountain to climb to get to your level.
