Richard van Dijk Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi All here is another one. It was a round file in its previous live and a bit of deer antler. Total lenght just over 8.5 inch, with a brass bolster. Richard Richard van Dijk My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Nice! Very effective use of texture, and the bolster is killer. :35: I like round bolsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Jones Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 That is a nice one, Richard. The stag matches well with the blade. Phillip Jones http://customknives.com/jonesbrothers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariah Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Nice knife, man. It has good texture, and a neat shape. Thanks for showing! Ancora Imparo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristopher Skelton Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 That's a wicked temperline! Did you water quench that? What's the process like (i.e. how many seconds in quench and back out, do you repeat a cycle?) thanks for sharing!

What's the process like (i.e. how many seconds in quench and back out, do you repeat a cycle?)thanks for sharing! 38021[/snapback] It was an oil quench (veggie) it was don by heating the blade up slowly, when the cutting area was at the right temperature quenched, then tempered 3x and overnight in the freezer.

OleyFermo Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Hey, Richard... A beautifully wrought tool. You've given it texture and color and a fine shape, and you've left enough of the forge in it to show its pedigree. I like it. :35: A lot.
