mknife , all that is valid for soft steel in HT process ? Holes are potential stress point , shape of knife , grinded bevels can be reason for wrap .......etc .Almost every hidden tang shape knife I quenched get less or more bend in ricasso/tang area. Then I start to leave tang unshaped and bending no more in that place ...........
I don t know , maybe I make to many knives from hardened steel so I got used to it , but I like that way .Clean and predictable job . Watch this kid ............... I do the same thing and i like it , what can I say ? Anyway , I just state how I do it, no one is obliged to work the same way . Do what you think is best for you. In the end the only thing that matters is the final product not the way how we get there , right ?

He even make folder from hardened M390 steel

I make this one from already hardened M2 steel .ALL parts are from 64 HRC M2 steel . Blade , liners ,spacer between liners . At no point during the making I run into a problem because I work with hard steel .

there is no doubt that everyone makes the knife on the basis of the available equipment and their own knowledge / experience.

I was wondering how soon this question would be asked.

 

[CDHumiston]

I've been trying my hand at some kitchen knives lately. I feel people are getting more use out of them.

I laughed when I saw PEU’s bread knife, knew it was coming

A new utility/EDC. AEB-L 62 Hrc with slightly concave bevels. Natural canvas micarta, black G10 details. I am really liking Ulticlips, very practical and secure on any blade that will fit in your pocket.

Easy. Laser cut the profile, HT, grind and then the edge was made with diamond coated cylinder on the drill press.

Made many prototype before sending to laser cut, these were made all by hand with the same cylinders, it can be done, but it takes a lot of time.
