@Alchemy1

i sometimes want to just throw that damn 3v out and start using some normal steel...this thing is killing my fingers!!!
hand sanding harden 3v is truly a challenge!

 

[frenchmade]

but, but... I can't have it now....?

 

[jsrice]

So are you doing 2 more batches? 1 in mini and 1 full sized like before

 

[Dalibor]

i'll try to make it asap!!!

i'm doing 12 knives , and i just make a preordered number of Regulus and Sirius..that's it

sanded the blades today , boy my hands really hurt!!! got my standoffs and they are all 6.35mm and not 6.30...so i'll have to shorten them tomorrow..

here's a picture of what Sirius will look like:

 

[Alchemy1]

Same here :thumbup:

 

[jsrice]

what is SM-100? is that a knife steel?

 

[Alchemy1]

It's a super crazy steel created by NASA to be used when making ball bearings. It's stronger, lighter, and non-magnetic. http://www.summitmaterials.com/sm-100/sm-100-faq/

Beautiful design and excellent skills. The Sirius seems to be the perfect size.
