Separate names with a comma.
The pits would require taking off a lot of metal. The swedge is not important (without seeing a photo). The finish you can do yourself, with the...
The Benchmade Rukus would be good for you -- big, 4.25-inch blade, opens very easily. But a used one would cost closer to $300.
I microbevel mostly as a sharpening strategy. After the initial edge gets a bit dull, it's fast and easy to resharpen the apex with a microbevel....
If you love those sharpened pry bars, you'll really love this Bluntcut gyuto, which Luong made out of 0.06 inch stock of Vanax SC. It has a full...
Well, 1095 is a simple steel. It obviously works well for a knife -- not much wear resistance, not very tough, rusts easily. O-1 is fairly...
I have a Vanax SC gyuto made from 0.06 inch stock. It's a wonderful knife. Super easy to sharpen. Cuts like a dream.
How about $220?
This is a LNIB Spyderco Military C36GPDB in S110V steel. Price: $265 TYD in US. First unconditional "I'll take it" in this thread gets it, if...
It does look like some kind of fault that goes right to the edge. You might try posting in the General Knife Makers subforum, under shop talk....
I just found Larrin's full writeup on MagnaCut on his website. It looks like an awesome steel. cpm-magnacut To be honest, I was a little put off...
Thanks for the extra video, Shawn. Cool stuff. Much appreciated. Can you tell us what the edge geometry was (BTE, edge angle, V or convex edge)...
This is a key observation. The Esee cut the nail after 46 hammer blows. The new-steel knife took 80 blows. So either the new-steel knife had a...
If you're getting a burr, you're at the apex. The thing about convex edges is that they can be very acute or very obtuse. You probably have a...
Just thinking out loud. So if it's the initiating of the cut that is most important, it would seem that a fairly coarse and very acute edge --...
Just use very light pressure at the precise angle of the bevel. I'd load the strop with something like 0.5 micron diamonds or smaller. The Wicked...
I followed the original thread, which was pretty interesting. But it was difficult to come to any firm conclusions. Some found a highly refined...
I'll pay the from. Shawn can get the to. But Shawn better make those blanks out of Vanax SC. Wootzblade's book says oxidation will widen the apex...
You have to get @wootzblade .
There was an A1 with a Kraton handle. a1-2
I was trying to figure out those lines, like tree rings. 220-9er may be right. I had never heard of beach marks, but it's a real thing. Here's a...
