Something new out of the shop
« on: October 11, 2008, 12:49:00 PM »

 
 

This one is going to Tom in exchange for a nice '57 Kodiak  :)

This is my favorite knife design.  Blade was clay-coated and etched, vine filework on the spine, brass guard and pin, osage handle.

Make them like that. I mean it. That is a VERY nice hunter. It looks very similar to some Terry Primos made. Lin

Lin, when I first got started making knives I picked Terry's brain a bunch on how he did his heat treat and blade finish.  He was nice enough to tell me exactly what to do, step by step.  The only change I've made is the clay coat rather than edge quench.

I've made a whole mess of knives that are pretty much identical to that one... love the lines of it.

Chris, yup, that design was inspired by Terry's 'Montero' knife (mine is wider at the ricasso) which was Terry take on Fisk's Sendero... I'm sure he was inspired by someone else's work.  There's not much that's truly new.

Rob, does that mean you want me to make yours like this one?  :D

That is SWEET! Nice trade, too.
Lin's right - again.
Keep makin' 'em that way.
That has got to be one of my favorite handle profiles, and one I use on my EDCs.
It seems that no matter your hand size, that handle just disappears in your hand and is very comfortable to use.
Nicely done.
What steel did you use?

It's my favorite handle and blade profile.  Most of my knives get a similar handle profile, unless it messes up the overall line I'm going for.

My steel of choice for the last few years has been 1095.  I like how it responds to differential hardening - real easy to get the look I'm going for.  

I'll be playing around with O1 for a few knives in the next batch, but 5160 is on my list on my list of steels to do some serious forging.  I need to replace (retire) a few old tools and the 1/4" x 6" x 6' bar of 5160 sitting in the shop is calling my name.
