Hey Jdk ......
Should be plenty of meat...... The plan is for the blade to be at 56-57 RC hardness and therefore plenty ductile...... A good point though.... Thanks.....

But, how well will it stick when thrown?Hey Jdk ......

easy way to find out - you hold up the target, and ........![]()
OK, but you'll have to be quick. I'm not sure how long I can hold the kid still.
True.Depends.... I'll stay put as long as you want. Just let me keep what is thrown at me....![]()
Definitely going to get a couple of these. I'd love an LE version made from 3V with desert ironwood scales though.
I've got a question myself. How will the newly created Reinhardt compare to the well established KA-BAR kukri machete? How evenly will they be matched in competition, and which will have the advantage in what field and target medium?
X's 2. Can we get out run at a harness closer that or the warthog?
I have absolutely no idea what you just said. Is that an autocorrect nightmare?
This sounds like a stellar blade. Might hafta get one...Hey Everybody.....
A GREAT time at Psyops' yesterday........ Brought a bag of blades including a Bill Siegle quasi Kukri and a Classic British Army/Atlanta Cutlery Kuk with a reprofiled convex edge........ There was also an ESSE Junglas and a BK 9....... Psyops, Col Defender, Vik and I had a great time with a large Willow log and a chunk of "mystery wood".....Love to watch those chips a flyin'.. ......The Siegle did it's usual workmanlike job.....All Bill's Blades work well for me......... The issue Kukri was a grand blast from the past for me and if it was not made from "railroad Iron" it would be a real winner as to keep an edge on it you gotta have a thick secondary convex....... The Junglas is one of Jeff and Mikes better Ideas and performed well too....... The star, I think was the 3/16ths Reinhardt....... Hank's Genius comes leaping out of this blade....... It chops, it slices and it dices........This version is ground close to the handle so small work can be done and feather sticks made....... One of my little tests is to make a tent stake......Put on a point, crown the top and do an under cut notch.......Simple stuff but it will tell you pretty quick if the little stuff is possible.......... I think you all will find this one to be a winner ........
What a grand good time, good friends and fine steel, a log that begs to be reduced to a pile of chips followed by a lovely meal and good conversation with a glass or two.......
Gonna grab a burger with CBear on the way to the Trade's.......... More to come.......

Ps....... The pic's from the Bitterroot were way too pixled to work......LOL........e
Pps...... A quick update ..... There was a T.M. Hunt M9 in attendance as well and it was fun....... Pretty good bark spud and more versatile than I expected...... Certainly an interesting piece and worth a look see........ E
