Wow! I'm in the same situation as Rolf or I'd be on this like a bad habit! You are definitely on my list for getting something. Really like your work a lot. Good luck on sale. :D

Beautiful work, that cleaver looks amazing. How does that titanium alloy hold an edge? Just wondering what the Rockwell is on it. Very interesting. :thumbup:
 
Seconds, just in case.
I'm sitting here playing with my Mission MPF-1 and alex451 beats me 15 minutes. :p
 
Thanks Zempaneli,

The titanium alloy holds a good edge for a knife, but in my opinion, the stuff I'm making is especially suited for a large chopping implement, which is my specialty! :D Rockwell hardness has varied over time as I tune in to this metal, with most between the mid 40s and HRc 51 on the hardest sword I was able to test before my diamond penetrator tip was damaged. The heat treatment has been improved since then. The numbers are misleading when it comes to a machete or sword, as the metal is very tough and can be used heavily and yet stay sharp and undamaged.

I will be sending two swords out for pro heat treatment soon, and I will have better answers then.

You do keep coming up with great blades. I've been watching.

You had a specimen slicer posted in May. :)

Thanks Esav, such nice comments are the antidote to the frustrations that can arise in titanium blade forging. I've made around 7 or 8 Specimen-type knives, all of them are a bit different!
