Didnt have time to do a video for this one. Just pictures.
5160 Steel Blade was cut out and Normalized @ 1500 degrees until non magnetic, three times, to remove stresses and align crystals. Heat Hardened to 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 = 12 ½
Blade Length = 7 ½
Blade Width = 2 ¼
Blade Thickness = ¼
Handle Length = 5
Handle Width = 1 ¾ widest point
Handle: Walnut with Torched Finish. Scales are attached with hidden pins & epoxy.
Sheath: Stained leather hide hand stitched sheath
Weight = 18 oz
Asking $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.
