Rock Video - Making of The Wise Magic Knife:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ5bgH7Yz8I
I did another rock video. This one shows the making of the Wise Magic Knife. Theres some attention getters in there! I think youll find it entertaining. This one has more detailed work than the last couple knives Ive done. Itll be tuff letting go of this one! Ive grown attached to it.
5160 Steel Blade was cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, three times, to remove stresses and align crystals. Heat Hardened to @ 1500 degrees, until blade became nonmagnetic, then quenched in 125 degree quality oil. Tempered the blade to a straw hardness @ 425 degrees for 1 hour, letting it air cool and repeating once more. Blade was file tested and is shown to be very hard.
Measurements:
Total Length = 14
Blade Length = 9 ¼
Blade Width = 1 ¾
Blade Thickness = ¼
Handle Length = 4 ¾
Handle Width = 1 3/8 to ¾
Handle: Osage Orange with Torched Finish.
Sheath: Hand stitched leather hide with scorpion logo.
Weight = 20 oz.
Price Dropped to $195 plus $12 shipping fee, if shipped in the US. You can send through Paypal to ScorpionBows@mchsi.com or mail M/O to our address (see web site for address).
Pictures of the finished knife. Thanks.
