Works in Progress - end of the week

[Daniel Koster]

Check out these lil' cuties!!!

I had some extra 0.140" thick CPM 3V laying around....so I decided to make some of these K5 Kardas...it wasn't long enough to make them full size....so these cuties will get handles and be dubbed K5 Minis!




I am putting together the first batch of Survivors to go to heat-treat. Here's what they look like "pre-heat-treat".

I left the pen and K5 Kardas there for size/scale reference.

Also, I markered in where the handle will go. These are HUGE...but lighter than you think. But still huge/heavy.


Hopefully the first 15 of these will leave the shop today or Monday!

I need to get one of the K5's or K6's one of these days. It would be perfect for goat foot cutting, because it has a tip you can scrape dirt and stuff out from the hoof with but the way the tip is positioned if the animal jerked around you wouldn't stab it or yourself:thumbup:
