Tried just doing the etching portion of my mark with no darkening on this one for a bit more subtle maker's mark. Looks pretty nice I think.

But I'm excited to receive my first hot stamp! Can't wait to try it out.

glued some handle things last night

 

[Tortuga Bladeworks]

Finished this one up yesterday. 80crv2/15n20….random pattern blade, twist pattern bolster. Handle wood is stabilized maple burl.

I always forget to post these With each piece I generate a "CoA" that has a copy of the sketch and my signature along with information on the reverse, and I include a microfiber cloth to keep the piece looking it's best

Got this Moose finished up today, going to the Natural State Knife Show this weekend. Cpm154 blades and springs, 416 integral liners and bolsters, jigged bone covers.

Just finished up this reblade for my para 3 in magnacut.



Since it's for my personal use. I didn't spend a ton of time finishing the blade. Instead I just went with a decent belt satin finish.

I got a Bunch of this really neat stiff, hard, rubber-like material out of an automation system. Not sure exactly what it is?

That wonderful feeling when the osage breaks Instead of your experimental glue joint with shear impacts......

[Scaniaman]

Working on my kydex game. Started making these belt loops, I really like them. Inside is some Magnacut and micarta.

Did my first heat treat with my new oven. Extremely pleased with the performance. Hit 1550 in about 40 minutes. Heat treated an 8670 blank that came out past 64RC per my testing chisels from Dragon's breath forge.

I gotta go see Matt for some help using his chisels! I got a set but haven't fully figured them out yet!

I’ll have to do a video on those, I got a set from Matt and they work great. Nice thing is you can test the actual edge, kinda hard to use a hardness tester to test core steels on San mai or forged blades that aren’t ground completely clean/flat.

It etched exactly opposite of what I expected!

This happens until you harden the steel.

Crudely roughed out some scales. Will contour and clean them up more later.
This material is a tiny bit rubberier than teroturf. Very similar. Like a rubber version of UHMW. I like it. It machines clean, no obvious smell.

I'm going to beat this testing out the glue, and the Bos heat treating for 3v?

I had no idea. Thank you!
