One of the best looking drop point hunters I've ever seen. It's shaped almost identically to the one I have and it's my favorite hunting knife yet. Of course yours is quite a bit better made. I'd some day like to have me a custom one like this built for me. Excellent work sir.

Hi, well done. You say its a N690 Steel. Don't you have a problem with oxygen when hardening? At what temperature do you hardening?

@ASimao71 Жыл бұрын

Actualy it can be done this way... Realizing how thick a knife blade is, and the heat treatment protocols given by the steel supliers (which are for one inch thickness standards) soak times and temperatures for hardening and tmpering should be "converted" for the piece to be heat treated so... Would it bennefit from an anti scale compound applied? Well, maybe... Would the use of a thermocouple give a more precise temp? Sure... But, if one has enough experience, it can be done this way for simple carbons to 12C27, AEBL, N690, D2, etc, yes. Not so much for the PM steels though. Those are a bit more finicky...

(Anmobgoccult20)S.P. Ever since the French Industrial Revolution the White Race were the leaders in Engineering. They are not very good at many other skills. It was only in the 1920's that Jspan caught up and lately China is trying their best. Every race has their own excellence and we should respect each other for that, like you do. Thanks.

@John Jude, I feel sorry for you. The ear specialist who supplied your hearing aid is not good. The machine noise is always soft when he speaks. When rhe machine noise is loud, he does not say a single word. You miss nothing, because he only speaks when the machine noise is muffled.

Nice metalworking and fit&finish. Heat treat? *siiigh* Why no tempering? I won't trust a blade that did not went through proper tempering. This is inexusable with 690, which is easy to temper (150 to 180 C, doable in simplest electric oven, and it should produce 58, perhaps 59 HRC blade with much better toughness).
