Mike Stewart RAT 7

[bigmark408]

Mike is a Man that walks the walk !! I received a RAT 7 today that i had sent mike...When i opened the package and seen the knife i was speechless and for me that is rare.

these pics do not do Mikes work justice...and sharp would be an understatement.

I aproached mike and asked him to make me a knife out of D2 one of my favorites and i described what i wanted and mike suggested that i get a doner knife and let him rework it.

the knife i sent him

the knife he sent back

This knife retailed for less than a hundred bucks dealer cost is about sixty bucks and this knife is NO JOKE.

Sandy Morressey , this one will be commin your way soon...BTW Sandy Turned 84 years young yesterday...Happy 84th Champ !!

How does one go about doing that? That is incredible! Zero convex and got rid of those stupid serrations! I would like to know how someone works on a knife that already has been heat treated. Do they work it at it's current hardness or can it be brought back to a workable hardness. Is that normalized? Annealed? I am a beginner in knifemaking and have only read a few books. I cannot find anyone who will teach me. I tried to get a hold of a guy in Missouri, but he would not return my calls. Another guy has avoided me because he owes me a knife and I can't get anything out of him either.
