Always amazing to me, how much dust shows up in the pics, that you don't see in person.

Butch, What is 204P? Is it stainless steel? Please tell us about it. Thanks, Larry Lehman PS Nice folder!! LL
 
What's going on in my shop? Lots of machine work! All aircraft related stuff, almost all aluminum and no knife-like items whatsoever. Will see about changing that soon even if it's just after hours type stuff ;).

Lots of great looking work in this thread, I really enjoy seeing what everyone is doing here.
 
Working Working ( like minion in Warcraft III xD )
18x Garmr Elmax 2,5mm mentioned above, primary hardness and cryo, should be around 60HRC.

Now time to mark them (and clean marks) and get ready to epoxy scales to them :)
Red, Olive, Goblin Green, Black :)
And one black/green ( I ordered 2 scales, and they are to small for Sphinx ;( )

Also today time to grind 19x Tengu-C knives. But 5 I think to make with Nightmare grind ( 3cm on front flat, rest hollow 270mm radius)
And 4 Hephaestus + 6 manticore knives from Elmax 3,78mm.
Next week I will receive 300x1000mm 3,78mm VANADIS 4 EXTRA, and again 2,5mm 300x1000mm ELMAX :D ( This will be a lot of Tengu, Garmr and GREMLIN!)

I just need to make final touches on new designs which I call ONI and Vulcan.
Also in plan is a redesign of all medium and big knives to Mark III version.
Old versions will be not available.
 
@Kosa_PL Do you do the cryo treatment yourself? If yes, how? I'm curious because I have N690 and I want to try cryo treating it myself.
 
looking at the data sheets and from what car-tec is telling me its alot like 20cv and was explained to me to think of it like stainless M4 and it is a powder steel and as such fine grained as it can be for the alloy makeup
it will be replacing my cpmM4 EDC that had replaced my cpmS125v so i have hope that it will be good jsut how good time will tell
 
Next bath of Tengu-C knives...
How I will sharp so much amount of knives !?
( Time to think about belt sharpener...)
