Happy new year everybody!
Last one for 2024, a traditional style tanto.

Starting 2025 off right. Profiled, drilled, tangs tapered, all S90V. Bevels ground on one.

Just got my mist system set up with a foot pedal... Pretty slick (thanks to K Ken H> )

Here’s one I finished up recently. This one has a black walnut handle and a AEBL stainless steel blade.

Got the top 2 done today! Magnacut at 64 for all 3 blades. Waiting on the kydex for the smallest one.

Alright guys, if you aren't using one of these Vevor T shirt presses for kydex, you are missing out. This thing is such a massive breakthrough. It works on 110V, heats quick, you can set the exact temp you want, and get the most perfect results with zero burning or fumes. They aren't even expensive. This press has doubled my kydex speed and I haven't messed up any sheaths by burning the edges, leaving it in the oven too long, or having the pre heat come on and over cook it. Perfect consistency, every time.

Stop being an idiot and add to cart.

Whixh one is it? I saw one that said 120 degrees which would be too low?

 

[Huntsman Knife Co. LLC.]

I have the 16x24 in, 1700 watt version. It gets to over 500 degrees. I do my kydex at 310 with a 1min press time.

Do you still have kydex foam or does the press do the heat and the forming?

I still use a kydex press for forming, this is just to heat the kydex.

 

[HPD]

Finished and sharpened up an older blade. Proud of this one. AEB-L treated at 1950F for 15 minutes, -100F quench.

I haven't made a recurve harpoon in a couple of years. This ones 80CRV2 at 61 with a micarta/G10/Blackheart handle. It's a tick under 10" OAL. Not the most versatile profile but to my eye just darn sexy. Oh, and tactical, yeah that's the ticket.
