Will Fennell : #5684 Marine Combat Knife

[stephensee]

Will Fennell, you said : "The #5684 Marine Combat Knife, is first blanked into rough shape and then cold forged into final shape to include the blood grove." and "The forging process puts in some of the bevel, but all the blades are final ground on our automated grinding equipment".

OK, but before the final ground, does the cold forged process is solely apply on the groove of the blade, OR, also, both apply on the groove AND, on the edge before the final ground (of the edge) on your automated grinding equipment? Before being grinding, does the edge (the "V" of the blade) is cold forged? Thank you.


Regards

Stéphen.

Stephen,
The bevels are ground into the blade...when I stated the "some of the bevel" was induced during the forging process, what I meant was that along with the blood groove, the borders of the main blade bevel are somewhat "marked" for us...the actual "v" bevels are ground into the stock of the blade.

I hope this helps....if there is a particular point to your questions that I can answer for you, please let me know. Whether the bevels are forged or ground makes no difference in performance.

Thanks for the interest!
