CTS-XHP has a pretty high alien dust content... :D

It can run 62 RC with a fine edge that lasts... super clean alloy with a bit of Vanadium. There are no elements in amounts that really lead to chipping.

Lately I have been liking AEB-L, it seems to do it all very well. The XHP sounds a lot like the AEB-L to me... AEB-L will be huge in tactical folders now that it is being made in thicker sizes like .13 and .155".

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!!
:D

Check!

Hi Rolf!!!


<sniff sniff> do I smell XHP?!

Mmm, love that stuff! Sharpens up like a laser and keeps its edge like a rock hammer! It gets such a fine edge I'd compare it to something like 52100 or 14C28N, but the retention is way higher!


I'd like to get a 1"×2" piece to try a razor from, sort of kamisori style but with composite handle.


Make it great fellas!

Xander I wish I had been smarter on the bandsaw or I'd have a piece for you... I'm so used to laving extra room for the chop saw kerf!

Yes the XHP sounds promising. I'm just trying out a 2' bar... but it seems wear resistant so far!


Im happy to hear you're keeping busy! Just remember to hit the shop every once in awhile!



Thanks! The real test is if I can get it to work, then look pretty. Nervous about that for sure.



I don't smoke, so can I just light stuff on fire?! :D

X I've never worked with XHP or I'd look for scrap.

Hope everyone's had a good week. The weekend is almost here!

Light stuff on fire!!!


Sorry I've not been posting much. Super busy as we're prepping to move. CHI --> ATL in 28 days. Lots to do in the meantime. Two houses to close on, and work work work.

Gah.

Lucky thing I have beautiful knives to look at and keep me centered. Daniel - that latest fricky really is a gem.

Hope you all are well!

Big thanks!!!! Best of luck with all, that's a big move! :cool:


I, I shot the sheriff. But I didn't shoot no deputy.

XHP, my only XHP (weird it was my only because I do have far too many knives) was sold BACK to Big Chris... weird. Never sold a knife back to a maker... It looks like good steel(composition wise, but doesn't stand out in any one category as I recall.. I may recall incorrectly.), but I'd be more into M4, 10v, 110v, D3, martian dust alloy and the likes...

Half the day with no kids.. I might relapse... torrettes F#@*%$@ KIDS!#$ WTF@#%#$ SHI@%$#@$# FU@$#% CNT@$#!#!@!!!!! lol have a good one!

Martian dust!!! :cool: Hey maybe I can forge some meteorite in or something... :D


Sloth, I need to try that Martian dust steel!
Might get a little shop time today.
Peace out, Audi 5000 and all that.

Werd!

Cool on the shop time!!1 I'm looking forward to more knives!



I finally bought a grail folder... higo no kami!!! lol It's pretty rad and holy crap it's sharp!

The flippers are still on deck! I found out my steel had not gotten shipped and it is now on the way. 4.5" square feet :eek: of AEB-L! I'm psyched!
 
Ben!! You are all set! Gratzee!!
Daniel- This folder is so nice. Great work!!
Hi DFerz!
 
Thanks Ben! That is really cool to hear that on the anodizing! I anodized it eight times and then knew that was the one! lol you should have seen the different hardware combos I tried too. That really means a lot!

Thanks on the clip too, I think that is the first one to come out of my shop in that design. I'm rocking one on the Emerson too... thanks again!


I mailed a whole bunch more knives out this morning and am expecting more materials in today. HT wrap and a lot of steel. Anybody need a 1084 Katana? :) I have some W2 coming in also for TJT blades with hamon :cool: Oh yeah S7 for more prybars and of course here in a week or so 4 square feet :eek: of wj'd folder blanks!!!!! It's going to be a good summer.
 
Accepting down payments on a TJT with hamon? lol That sounds epic!

Mail call day is always outstanding. I found a HSS counterbore Im going to try. Hopefully it does well and gets here in a reasonable amount of time. Are the folder blanks for the TJT's as well?

Nice!

I'm using the SK counterbores, they are over $100 each and worth every penny. HSS will be good for several folders though, perfect for what you are doing right now.

Yes flipper and TJT blanks! I'm psyched! :D

Fingers crossed on the hamon thing! I might need to send them off for surface grinding if the W2 is on the thicker side... hopefully it is close to what I want then I can just disc sand it to tolerance. The hamon part will be fun.
 
Morning guys!

Damn Daniel, sounds like you're going to kill it this summer!!!

Whoever decided that hot saki bombs were a good idea needs to be strung up by their ankles, ugh I'm way hungover today. Had a good dinner though, lol! Good thing work is slow right now...


Make it great!

hey all,
Just enjoying a quiet moment before the house wakes up. By some miracle my daughter (age 4) is sill asleep, so I'm just browsing the forums before the day get's going and off to church.

Restful Sunday to you all.
 
TR, you morning people boggle my mind! :D
Day off today tons of crap to do and none of it involves knives unfortunately.
X, saki hangovers suuuuuuuck!
Sup, Rolf.
 
Yo!

Trying to make it through the work day with a sore back, ibuprofen is my friend right now. Ripped up all the carpet and lino tile at mom and dad's place yesterday, got a giant bloody blister in my palm from it as well. Glad it's done and over with.

Daniel, you've been killing it lately!

-X
 
5:01 PM! I better get outta here and off to the gym!

Heal up quick, X. No pain no gain tho!

Darn right D's been going nuts. The guy is oozing talent, haha.
