Expected to do it earlier. Had a set back. Moved around it. Was working the group of sheaths. Have pulled one now and am finishing it. That frees the complete knife and sheath.

This one has an GRAIN ETCHED STAINLESS blade. "IF you know which, how, when and HAVE this and that; then you CAN acid etch the steel and show some of the changes in grain structure between different hardness areas which were selectively heat treated.

Yes, I Do, Know, and Did. It's very interesting. It has an antique feel. It's perfect for Trade Knives. It looks a bit like Damascus THEREFORE; so that there may NEVER BE any confusion, on the Rear Ricasso, I've engraved "A-2" which is the Alloy of Stainless Tool Steel from which I made this stock removal blade.



Here ya go!!!

About 3" blade and about 7" overall I suspect.

The Knife and Sheath is $395us. Plus $15 to send USPS PRIORITY MAIL.

ITS A REALLY SWEET KNIFE!

They just keep getting better & better . I really like the copper inlay and handle shape . Did you say that was A2 stainless tool steel ? I'm not too familiar with the material but it must be the stuff if your using it .

Thanks
Kurt

Hi Kurt,

Yes, I like the material very much. I honestly don't know if all the cool kids use it or not. I found it on my own. Read the analysis. I developed my heat treat. I've tested the heck out of it. You remember those videos of cutting chips from a cold rolled steel rod, then shaving arm hair? That's the stuff.

In fact - you already have a couple knives made of it.

Thanks Kurt!
Gary
