These two knives are forged from turret rim ball bearings of M18 "Hellcat".

This time, I've tried to forge them to fit in Bird 'n trout design, and pair them with nice looking horizontal carry sheaths.
Blades are treated as 52100.
Flats are left raw, just soaked overnight in vinegar and wire brushed after forging. After heat treatment, flats are brushed with scotch brite.
Bevels are made in satin finish with scotch brite.
Details:
#1
Blade length - 103mm (4,05")
Blade width - 30mm (1,18")
Thickness at the back of the spine 3,8mm - (0,15")
Tang is tapered to 1,6mm (0,06) at the end
Overall length - 205mm (8,07")
For handle material i used Textolite, vintage phenolic micarta over 30 years old, blue G10 liners, brass pins and lanyard tube.
