Hi All,

Finished these a few hours ago. Both made from Aldo’s 3/16ths 1095 to a Rockwell of 60 a little harder than I usually make them but not so hard that you need diamonds to sharpen them. They should stay sharp for a good long time. Both are Hair pooping sharp I mean really sharp.

The Specifics: Top knife in the first picture
Steel: 3/16ths 1095
Hardness: 60
Grind: Hollow on a 10-inch wheel
Overall Length: 8 1/8 inches
Height: 1 1/8 inches
Cutting Edge: Tip to ricasso 3.5 inches
File Work: non-slip groves for your thumb
Handle: East Indian Rosewood with three 1/8 inch Brass pins
Price: $95.00 shipped to the lower 48

Ken,

Those knives are very tempting. I think I have to hold off right now, however.
