What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[Crag the Brewer]

Trolls.



No.

I love Trolls...... but I've got Viking blood.

 

[David Mary]

Me too. I’ve got a good digestive system.

S35VN


440C


And CPM 3V


Three steels about as different from each other as a steel can be.

But good old number ninety four electrolyte can mark them all, Hooree!

 

[David Mary]

Let’s see what I can do with these. Help me 24 grit. Your my only hope.

David that bridge over deep wide water or mostly dry creek bed type deal?

 

[DocJD]

CPM 3V

Cold Steel Master Hunter , Taiwan ? Looks great !

I've thought that a good regrind might improve them... for slicing at least .

 

[David Mary]

David that bridge over deep wide water or mostly dry creek bed type deal?

Water of indeterminate depth.

 

[DocJD]

Water if indeterminate depth

What's the underwater horror creature around there ?

Surely not Crocs or sharks .

Moose with SCUBA ?

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Snapping turtles. Big’uuns. And up by me water snakes. Haha.

 

[David Mary]

Ogopogo

 

[David Mary]

These are ready for handles. If all goes to plan I’ll start them tomorrow and then grind another Hudson Bay Bowie in a different steel. It’s fine to do one of each in the same batch but I’ll wait until I get a handle on the first one. I can tell the difference between AEB-L and 15N20 heat treated blanks but as soon as I grind them the only way to see the difference is by letting 15N20 rust. Not quite a solid or efficient plan.

Who would like a David Mary custom AEB-L blanket?



Might itch slightly.

Might itch slightly.

Might have better luck marketing it as a “The AEBL Super Exfoliating Lufa.” one of a kind

 

[David Mary]

Yes, it would do that better.

 

[David Mary]

I'm sad nobody looked up Ogopogo.

 

[David Mary]

And the workers were there today but there seemed to be a language barrier. Anyway I simplified it to “I am going to work, this is my only way to get there”. They let me by.

 

[Danny Linguini]

Did you give them one of these?

 

[clinton1]

I'm sad nobody looked up Ogopogo.

I did.......

 

[David Mary]

I didn’t imply violence, shocking as that may be. I was openly hip carrying a Prevex but they probably didn’t even notice it.

 

[David Mary]

Would have looked like this
