Ti Buy Brown Knife

[David Brown]

Hi Everybody,



I have had some Ti bar stock in the shop for a few years so last week I made a knife out of it.

Elf choil & all

What do you think ?

Oh & I anodized it Root beer Brown.

That's great! Good job. How's it hold an edge?

nice blade david, i really like the shape of the blade and the sharpened swedge is great and its titanium, hey man what is the dimensions?

 

[Chingon1988]

That looks cool!, whats the OAL? and BL?

 

[Ankerson]

Nice looking blade.

 

[P-Easy]

How much? lol

 

[David Brown]

specifics ????
I will have to measure stuff & get back to you.
It will hold an edge pretty well.
You can cut for a long time but it is hard to sharpen.
Ti work hardens so it is kind of tough to work with.
You can not heat treat it I believe ?

Looks good Dave...Slap some handle slabs on that puppy and call her finished!

 

[unwisefool]

What do you mean work harden? The more you use it, the harder it gets? Is that because the material compacts? Looks cool!

 

[skkeeter]

Good job. It looks mean!

 

[DowntownDM]

I like it.

I'd like it better if it were a steel kitchen knife shaped like that.

Neat looking design, are you going to make a thrower out of it. Where's the handle slabs?

Nice knife, and I appreciate you showing it off, however, the Busse forum is not the proper place for this thread. Moving to Custom/handmade knives forum.
