Came here to say 26c3. It's all ready been said
Hi guys, I currently live in Raleigh, going to undergrad at NCSU, and planning on grad school here as well. My shop is in Hickory NC, 2.5 hours...
The reason something looks like a mirror is because the scratches are small enough to not interfere with light reflection, however, on the other...
Ok so I know this has been asked 100 times, and I have read 100 posts but I can't make up my mind. I want to make a run of hunting knives....
Yeah so first of all I have the same grinder and I love it. I attached a Dayton 2hp B184 frame. It didn't even come close to fitting so I have it...
So this may be counter to what most people recommend but it worked for me and many others. I didn't cement my bricks, I just made them touch, this...
Tom thanks for the help I was leaning towards #2 and your experience and all, and recommending it as well makes me feel good about my choice As...
I'm working on a full tang carbon Damascus knife with stainless bolsters. I'm planning to get the handle material finished off the knife and...

I can't be of much help either as I forged my 26c3 to shape thus altering the microstructure. Anyway, after quick and dirty forge...
honestly, it depends on the intended use, if you plan to use this on a cutting board vs in your hand like a paring knife then yes I would angle...
I haven't found that w2 or thin clayed w2 warps very much. Even if it does, it responds very well to shimmed tempers, and I've never had an issue....
I haven't done any interrupted quenching, my tank is vertical and I think a horizontal tank would work better for interrupting and hamon...
If you start with .100" stock and grind bevels about halfway up the knife to an edge thickness of about .05" you can succeed. I've been doing this...
