Beautiful! And I guess one could call that first one an "Elon(gated super) Tusk". Okay sometimes I can't help myself... :rolleyes:
 
that's some impressive work!
how do you like that alloy?
 
Thanks everyone! :)

Lorien Lorien , it is bitchy to work with but it makes a great blade for what i look for in a knife. Can also get it really sharp too.
 
I researched it a tiny bit and couldn't find out whether or not it'll harden, (does it work harden?) but nothing conclusive so I expect probably not. Seems like it was developed to be more ductile than 6al4v, which may contribute to it taking a keen edge(?)
