Beautiful Steve.  I'm just glad to have a couple of your semi-early blades.  If anyone is looking for a knife I send them your way.  I'm not big on the real fancy stuff, but the knives you made for me are gorgeous and work like they should.  I can't wait to pass them on to my children and grandchildren.

They're all still "early" as knifesmithing goes! I'm still just shy of 5 years. They're getting tight though, I was happy with my grinding yesterday! (I set my pants on fire... but that could happen to anybody!)

Speaking of Grinding...

Any Special Requests??!!?! This is the PERFECT time to ask me about a custom blade design...

[Kain]

Looking forward to owning one someday.  I think I am going to go for a real fancy one probably with a matching call.

Ok, the previous available blade posts and pics are going to be updated below...


THIS it the latest, and will include Everything, Past and Present!

I've come up with a new numbering system:

All my hold over 2009 blades start with "09".

From now on new batches of blades will start with the month/year of their birth.

For instance, this batch I'm posting now, they all start with "1-10..."



Here goes...

More coming! I have a new batch of budget blades, different sawmill bandsaw steel (modern.) I ground them into a variety of boning knives! I need to test the HT before I officially post them though...



All "S" blades are ATS34 Stainless - - Except for "09-S1" which is 440C stainless. All "D" blades are D2 tool steel.

All these are fresh out of heat treat, so they are a little rough looking, but hopefully by now I've shown you how they transform!

Thanks for looking and following my progress, guys!

Ok, I didn't know the exact alloy of these new budget blades, so I had to take my best guess with the heat treat recipe.... Success!!!

I got a test piece to bend to 90 degrees (Yes, that's all the way over!) and come back with no noticable change! (No bending, no breaking, no cracking...) It's thin steel (.073) but that's still fantastic! I'm tickled!

So here they are!

Budget Bandsaw Boning Blades!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


These are thinner, as I said (.073), they're carbon, they're from modern Sawmill Bandsaw steel, and they're going to cut like nobody's business!!!

They will build cheaper, so let me know if you want to do one!
