The Silver Lining: A Stainless Traditional Showcase

[AusLoX]

Rescued this stainless blade off a broken knife and put it into a new handle. Don’t worry, the blade it replaced also went to good use.

Always fun to bring new life to good parts. I think the project still embodies the spirit of a “Navy Knife” as well… or at least that’s what I was going for ️

Nice save!

That’s a nice one! What’s the show side look like?

I'll see if I can track it down, it shouldn't be too tricky as it came in a huge tube size of a forearm it seemed

IIRC it not considered stainless due to not enough chromium content. Its a corrosion resistant tool steel, but technically not stainless. I have a Canal Street Pinch with D2 that has patina. I bought it second hand, so I don't know how it happened. The knife had been rode hard and put away wet by its previous owner.

That said, I have no opinion about including D2 in this thread. I leave that to the originator and/or the collective

The Queen 69 1/2, Robeson Sure edge, and the Cripple Creek that I posted above are all D2. I always thought D2 was stainless. I guess it ain't.

And the Ka-Bar Barlow too. It’s stainless enough for government work

Picked up this stainless Old Timer with desert iron wood handles today at Tractor Supply. Can’t seem to leave that place without buying something I don’t need. Also in the cart was cheese balls, an oversized tennis ball, and a rubber cow. That’s what happens when I go shopping with my little man.

Top Down: Offshore Uncle Henry 885. Imperial Frontier Double Eagle.
I don't know if the Double Eagle was "FREE!!!" With purchase of a Homelite gas chainsaw ... Or gas landscaping tool, such as a hedge trimmer, edger, weed whacker, leaf blower/vacuum, tiller, or ___.)

The heat treatment of the old USA made Uncle Henry's 440A blades has a great reputation.

RoseCraft's 14C28N is an excellent newer stainless steel.

I almost put this in the pocket today. Nice jigging on yours!

Thanks, man, deep and random, just how I like it!
