O1 is fine with me. I just need to know what you want by early August to order material. I’ll put you in as a hold spot.Also I dont know what I want yet. I don't think I need any of them fancy steels o1 works great. Unless you need me to want a fancy steal then I'll give it a shot.
I will email you later on. It’s pretty straightforward, 1/4” O1, rounded handle and spine, $143 shipped.Also dont email me till later. The wife likes to complain when I order things.
John, can we do 1/16th in O1 with a knife that would be 7-1/2 overall and about 1-1/8 tall, full flat grind
I do flat grind on 3/32” steel all the time.Looking to commission a Marbles Dall Deweese pattern style knife with a bit more belly than the original. The one place that I have found a blade thickness measurement of an original states its .07". Seems like this would be 1/16 stock, or is it just ground down to that point from perhaps 3/32? Is 3/32 X 1-1/8 flat grind doable? Your thoughts? Thoughts from the rest of the JK club?
Allegedly this knife with stag handles only weighs about 3 ounces??
I order what materials I need the month before the order is due. All the B&T knives are flat ground, as well as the Improved Bowie. I’ve also done Kepharts and Nessmuk out of 3/32” as well as others I cannot remember. I would need to start with 1 1/2” wide steel, it’s not available in 1 1/4” or 1 1/8”, but that is not a big deal.Do you have any nice Olivewood in stock?
What models of JK knives are often flat grind 3/32?
If you decide to draw something up, don’t use corrugated cardboard, use something like a soda carton. If you do, let me know and I can come by your shop to discuss it.Looking to commission a Marbles Dall Deweese pattern style knife with a bit more belly than the original.
