Hey Thanks, much appreciated!

The D2 Tanto and big S7 chopper are for orders and the "3 finger cleaver" will be available for sale.

I am putting some carbon fiber scales on the mini cleaver, man they look cool! I have never worked with carbon fiber and it looks so awesome I will be using much more.

The carbon fiber was interesting, cutting the ends of 2 pieces dulled my bandsaw so badly I couldn't cut any more with it. I wore 3 layers and took precautions but I am still itchy too, it is like glass in the skin. Lol it looks so cool I'll get a Tyvek suit to cut it in if I have to! That and a dust collector for the new shop.

I'm just curious, do you know what rockwell the d2 was brought to?

It should be about 60-61 Rockwell. I think at this hardness you should have excellent edge holding.

Wow, 60-61, that sure will be fun! I really think this piece is going to add a whole new level to my collection :)

The green rayskin is going to be too cool, I can't wait to finish it up.

try cutting it with a slow speed on the band saw?

I think that may be the way to go, either that or the stock blade came with isn't too great. It is just a little saw I intended for Kydex so next time I may go back to the wet saw, it saves my bandsaw blades and the diamond cuts really well. Thanks for thinking of me!
 
I have been working on the finish on these three for two days solid and it shows! :D

I keep looking at that little cleaver, thinking it would be handy in the kitchen. Wonder if my wife would believe
that we needed a cleaver? Probably not, hard to get much past her. She would say "You just wanted another knife."
And she would be right. :p
