You guys got me all spooked about filework now! I was gonna dress this one up some, but then decided to go "Bare Bones"!
(Just a little fluting here and there!)
And, rather than some Birdseye this-and-that with Burl on top, I toned it down even more!
A few years ago I was helping a friend do some re-hab on his property down in Key West! He had a few houses that are about as old as you can get down there, and while putting in a new kitchen, I found some of the oldest, hardest Teak I have ever seen! I mean, this stuff is Hard! Hard! But, very plain!
Fine.
Stainless fittings, satin finished with polished file-work.
Forged 5160, convex grind.
Take-down assembly.
And, I will take this moment to thank you guys for letting me post some of my stuff here.
All of my 5160 blades are forged down from 1" thick square stock and heat-treated in digitally controlled ovens according to the latest info I have learned from Kevin Cashen, Jerry Rados, Don Hanson and Tim Zowada over the last few years.
They have been amazinlgly helpful and have allowed me to be part of conversations and hands-on instruction regarding metallury that have resulted in me creating blades that perform far beyond my expectations.
Thanks to you all.
