6 Nessmuks in 1/8" 1095
5 Pikal Parers (including one shorty :D) in S30V
5 K6 Kardas in CPM154 stainless
6 K5 Kardas in 1/4" thick CPM 3V
6 Maters in 13C26 fine-grain stainless
4 Nessmuks in 1/4" thick CPM 3V
3 Santokus in oversize 1/8" CPM154




A few of these are orders...but the rest are (hopefully) gong to be on my table at the Blade Show. :thumbup:


Whatcha think? Any of these belong to you?

:D

Note:

Still need to do the following before I can send 'em out:

1 - Finish drilling the handle holes (including drilling out tangs)...and countersinking ALL holes to prevent stress risers in heat-treat.
2 - Grinding the "45s" (already done on the Pikal Parers)
3 - Grinding the bevels (torture on the 1/4" thick 3V Nessmuks....:eek: )
 
Wait, so I won't be the only one with a pikal parer?! I thought I was special!
 
You ARE special Snowman....just....ya know...in your own special way...!


:eek: :D :p

:foot:
 
Not yet....:D :eek:




And I do have several already heat-treated in S30V...;)

Looks like somebody is going to be busy!

I like seeing the stuff in different stages, Makes it easier to wait when you see what goes into it.
 
LOL!!!




The K5 Kardas will get a design to the holes drilled - since they will end up skeletonized....while the 3V Nessmuks just get the crap drilled out of 'em...no care given to looks...:D



I'm really looking forward to the 13C26 Maters.....it's 0.100" thick...they should make for some crazy nice cutters in the kitchen....and the steel is a "fine grain stainless"...easier to sharpen, easy to maintain.
 
Huh?



What happened to 'em?!?





Somebody walk off with 'em?






:eek:
















Oh, wait....there's just hiding...

There should be 1 or 2 of these on my table at Blade!

:thumbup:
