They are super Hengelo_77 I love that top one in antler

Thnx, it is: Stainless Niolox, soldered bronce, axis-antler, stab. walnut and rag micarta. The sheath is by me as well.

 

[Taz]

Those look awesome!!

Nice desert ironwood burl unfortunately has cracks that lets the epoxy seep out...
At least they are filled now

I made this "gift" for my niece for christmas - the hope is she will have to work a little bit to get to the actual presents. It's a steel box, she will have to cut along the indicated line with a hacksaw, and then there is a locked compartment inside, and hopefully she will take the hint (lockpicking tools and a link to a video about lockpicking) and learn how to pick the padlock there. I will either be the coolest uncle or the biggest weirdo on the christmas gathering.

Cool box. My daughter may get one like it someday. She loves complex presents.

Preparing for my JS performance test. Both knives are made from 1075 steel and passed the rope cut and 2x4s chopping with flying colours.
Also, on one of them I did the bend test and performed better than expected. Went to 90 degrees 8 times and on the 9th I went past 90 to break it on purpose.

Sharpening day for this order!! 2 blade trappers heading to Nevada this week!

I think it was S Seedy Lot who's always maintained 1075's superiority to 1095.

That's an impressive bend test. What hardness are you running those at?

Here's my latest Medium Sized Black River Hunter in 1/8" NitroV and Bloodwood with purple G10 liners. It's about 9 1/4" OAL... fixed links

I don't have an accurate way of measuring the hardeness but my heat treat protocol should yield +-60HRC.

While 1075 is tough, both blades had a really high temper 2/3s of the width to withstand the 90 degrees bend.

Here’s an edc I’m finishing up. The blade is 8670. The handle is burl wood with a micarta guard.

It’s a sickness…, .
I’m partial to the lower 3.
Need to get them finished, too many knives ahead of them.

 

[Selfe Made Knives]

Just finished this Barlow off, and engraved the bolsters.

Did you do the engraving yourself?
It's beautiful

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I had to finish putting up my new axe and knife target and toss a few axes at it before leaving for Christmas. I built it on a trailer.

Also, a shot of the 2500 people in the "Sea of Santas" at the Surf-n-Santa Five Miler last Saturday.

Yes, with my laser.

Got my next order cut out and heat treated and while it was in the oven I started on this spear point gunstock in O-1 tool steel for a customer

[J Lensmire]

Just received a shipment back from Bos HT.
Majority are one of these three with a smattering of kitchen knives. All are 14C28N Rc~63.
I think I’ll put the same handle on these three and see which shape I like most for EDC. My thoughts right now would be the middle one.
I’ll post once completed.
