I spruced up one of my first knives: Beveled the blade better and higher, beveled the top, narrowed the handle, added a thumb grip, better polishing.
Shop Details:
Saw Blade Steel was cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, three times, to remove stresses and align crystals. Heat Hardened 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 is 10 ¼
Blade Length is 5 ½
Blade Width is 1 3/16
Blade Thickness is 3/16
Handle Length is 4 ¾
Weight= 5oz.
Hand stitched deep brown Gator Hide sheaths included.
Dropped to $89 plus $8 shipping fee, if shipped in the US. Includes the gator hide sheath. You can send through Paypal to ScorpionBows@mchsi.com or mail M/O to our address (see web site for address).
Pictures below. Thanks.
