Finished this one up last week. 80crv2 forged, koa over tuxedo liners….

I'm not a huge fan of semi-finished style blades, but that one is really nice looking.

Thank you Stacy, that means a lot. I like the extreme play on textures, but for me the clean parts have to be really clean, and the rough parts have to be done right. Still working on it and learning with each one.

I ordered a heat treat oven this weekend. https://usaknifemaker.com/knifedogs...troller-by-paragon-8-w-x-4-t-x-14-d-240v.html

I can hardly wait the 6 weeks but I do need to set up my shop...

If yours is like the one I bought some years ago you will love it.

I'm glad to hear that. There's some stuff I'm not a fan of like always on coils and the 14" depth, but most of the knives I make are 10" or less, and I do like that it's 240v so I'm hoping it heats up quickly.

If I remember correctly, on full ramp it goes up something like 26-27 degrees F/minute.
As it approaches target it slows down, and I hated the wait so I would overshoot the target to get there faster and then reprogram the parameters to save time. Wasn’t exactly the ideal thing to do I guess but it saved me time.
Wish I had kept it for shorter knives.

As long as I don't have to babysit it like a forge, it'll save me time and money on heat treating

New EDC model fresh off the grinder at 50 grit. This one in Z-Max.

I am grinding a few others similar to the Z-max in S90V and S110V, slightly different handles.

I think all this needs is an edge...and a sheath
