Thanks KWM, we have done mostly edge quenching and clay back firing until recently, but once we did the experimenting, we wanted to offer torch drawn, 'as coloured' pieces. We will certainly continue using this method as the results are favourable, to say the least. The one pictured has 416 for bolsters, with red micarta and 304 pins and thong tube. Comes with wet formed leather sheath. Visit our website for further heat treat info. etc.
