Were all of the SH1's in ATS-34 or were some anteINFI?

I'm no expert but I believe that all SH-1's with 2 handle fasteners are ATS-34.
The later BBSHSH-1 with 3 handle fasteners are A2.
Maybe PorkDucci, Skunk, Papathud, or Jerry will chime in and set me straight.

That's interesting... Except for the odd custom, then none were INFI, I suppose? Man, I do like that blade shape!

(I sure would love to see one of those as the anniversary knife!!)
 
Any SH that had a long gradual hump to the spine was ATS34. As opposed t a straight spine like the later SH's made out of A2 and INFI.

Randuccis 9 inch SH has the hump as well and it is also ATS34 (I'd bet on it)

I don't believe that the "hump" is indicative of ATS-34.
A couple of my BBSHSH's have the hump and are I believe A2

Here is Ducci's thread of the loooong SH.

hard to say if that 9 incher has the hump or not. It may not be considered a hump.

why don't you believe in the hump theory??:D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean Quasimodo is made out of ATS34...... :eek: ;)

:D:D

I actually had a long talk with Jerry about it today. It seems it is basically (what Cobalt thought) a prototype for what the Battle Mistress became. Jerry called it a SH3, it was hand cut out and hand ground from A-2 by him. It was probably made in 1992 or '93 and sold as a custom knife.

:D

It IS a PROTO BM??? o, so you must let me have it:thumbup:
 
not only the handle area...

but wasnt that extremly "curved" plunge line a sign of it being ATS-34 also :confused:

I know most of the earlier A-2 blade's had the somewhat "straighter" plunge line :cool:

Yes, in general, the large "curved" plunge line was what was used on the ATS-34 SH1s. Jerry described the special cutter he used to do the SH1s and it was the same one he used my proto knife which was made from A-2.
 
That Birds Beak Steel heart II against a yellow fuzzy backround looks like an old picture of my Wife's Satin finished 10th or 11th wedding anniversery present from me.

She intends on putting in in a wood presentation case along with the originial Game Warden to hang on the wall in the new house.

Those pictures on BadMojo certainly generate a fair amount of my email.
