I'll be back thoughout this week updating this thread. I must have 8 knives I've built from the previous available blanks. I've fallen WAY behind updating you with new Pictures!




Thanks Guys!
 
I'm pretty sure these were in the old photos, if I remeber whichunits they were I'll identify them as such. (The current stock is above, in the cutlery drawer, and getting mighty sparce!)

Thanks Juanjo!

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!
 
Mikeymike, B7 is the same dimension as a fillet knife. It's slightly stiffer, but still has some good flexibility. All of these new B series are primarily designed as boning knives, but as you know, those dimensions can be used in a LOT of different ways. It'd fillet like nobody's business!
 
That's a great batch of Blades Steve!! Man you've been busy

I get slobber on my key board every time you do.. You were missed at the P/M hunt. I hope you can make it next year..
 
I wish I could have made it this year, Kerry. Money wasn't there. (It was in Disneyland and Seaworld where I'd already spent it!) Thanks.
 
Here's a damascus trailing point I just finished (actually had to unpack it and hurry-up photograph it since I forgot!) It's sold.

And a small Hand Axe, made from 8670 Tool Steel with a differential temper (the cutting edge is harder than the rest of the hatchet.)
