Rock Video - Making of The "Guardian":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSE7RaAMgLU
Had a little fun with this one (or should I say more fun
) and made a music video showing the making of this knife. For you older ones, you may want to turn the volume down a little . For the others, sit back and enjoy.
5160 Steel Blade was cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, three times, to remove stresses and align crystals. Heat Hardened to @ 1500 degrees, 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 = 13 3/8
Blade Length = 8 1/8
Blade Width = 3
Blade Thickness = ¼
Handle Length = 5 ¼
Handle Width = 1 ¼ to 1 1/8
Handle: Tiger Maple with Gunstock Stain. Pinned with brass & epoxy.
Sheath: Hand stitched out of leather hide & Rattlesnake skin.
Weight = 20 oz.
Price Dropped to $175 (includes sheath) plus $12 shipping fee, if shipped in the US. You can send through Paypal to ScorpionBows@mchsi.com or mail M/O to our address (see web site for address).
Pictures of the finished knife. Thanks.
