Those are great knives!

I love the temper lines and file work.....what type of steel are they? 1065?

How did you go about differential tempering?

They all sell brother! Lot of people in your self named catagory. Look at those Made in China stamped out Knifes. I have seen people go crazy over them at flea markets... nothing better than made by hand....

Farmboy they arent diff temp lines those are the ginds I put on them and then sanded them to a smooth transition instead of a harsh grind.

Thanks Vic but I know I dont like knife making enough to do it for a living. I would get tired of it pretty fast! LOL
