Slipjoint #5

I think that I am going to need one of those...

 

[Stromberg Knives]

The latest one, on the smaller side. It's made of 4mm RWL34 at 64 HRC and it's got a Micarta handle (with G10 liners) and different size stainless pins for decoration.

I like it ! Stromberg Knives , you have hidden pins and that stainless pins goes through both scale or are just inserted in scale ? I like them...

 

[Hengelo_77]

That's futuristic looking, Stromberg!

Thank you, I appreciate it. They're actually not hidden pins, all the pins are through both scales and blade. But the ones at the ends are carbon fiber and camouflages their selves pretty well.

Thanks, I like futuristic!

I've decided to strictly focus on forging from here on out. Did stock removal for a while and got into folders but forging is where my heart really lies. Heres a little hunter I just forged out the other day from cru forge v. Got it forged out, profiled, and grinded to pre heat treat dimensions.

[Stromberg Knives]

A 90mm pairing knife in 14C28N at 63 HRC. The handle is multipart Micarta with G10 liners. It's been sharpened with a dry grinder at 7000 SPFM with a dull 2000 grit belt so there are no carbides to be found at the edge.

I worked on my lengthwise grinding on the flat platen. Dare I say it...... No hand sanding..... I'll post pics when I have the handle complete.

Flat platen looks like it should be good for plungeless knives. I get the handle and ricasso to a clean 400 on the disc and then only need a quick touch to get the scratch pattern there. I was concerned about rounding over the edges.

I would like to see this thing in action

 

[DeadboxHero]

Me too, haha we'll have to see what the customer does with it. I let him know that it's not going to make a good cold chisel

I would like to see this thing in action

A first for me, antler scales peened pins and bolster. I don't know whether I should love it or hate it.

 

[DeadboxHero]

Did some testing

4V at 65-66rc.
0.109" stock
0.014" bte of a 20dps 600grit CBN edge
10dps on the primary grind.
16d steel nail chopped.

No chipping



I like to go thinner
0.010" bte of a 15dps
And 5dps on the grind to a full flat on .100" stock makes me happier cause it cuts better but will break on the nail.

 

[DeadboxHero]

Getting started on Rex 121. These will shoot for 70rc

You did a nice job on that blade, looks like your spot on for heat treating.
