today is the day

haahahaha :) its not like its hard and im using carbide mills
truth be told i have used just one "low tec" non stainless steel since i have started and that was not long ago with the W1 razors

im just used to taking my time annealed 10V is not overly bad not like the small bar of cpms125v i am thinking about tackling
 
Butch that deep hollow on the thick stock looks BAD A** !! Excellent work dude :thumbup: Excellent :thumbup: :thumbup: Please post some pics when complete.
 
Butch, next time use a smaller end mill to hog off the majority of metal, then do the side milling in tiny passes with the larger mill.
Really looks nice!
 
i ll have more pictures as it gets finished up

howie thanks for the tip

what i need is to read up more on milling and drilling. that or hope that the DVD of basic machining comes out soon
 
and to show that i do finish work sometimes

that has to be one of the nicest pushers i have seen. what do you use to do your logo (name) very crisp. the blade has stunning grind lines. hats of to you an 2 thumbs up :D
 
It's amazing that you managed that finish with 10v. Very nice! The handle fitup looks good too. I know that the curves there couldn't have been easy....
