    Thank you!!! The three handles are finished and polished, now the blades need some finish, too and they're ready! The small one from N690Co and the big one from 01, a slim, elegant handle, a pleasure in the hand! Regards Nicolas

    Hello, these days I'm finishing four similar Scagel knives, one from N690Co, the rest in 01 tool steel. This "Vareto" in 85mm and N690Co and here a Jäger with 11,5cm in 01. These need still loads of fine tuning and polishing... The handles all the same, spacers, red micarta, leather, stag. Two more are waiting for a handle. Regards Nicolas

    I would buy some 01 or 52100 steel and start from zero. Send the blade to someone who can make a good heat treat.This will be a knife made 100% by yourself! Regards Nicolas

    Hello, as this is a non stainless carbon steel, it will stain in contact with acids, blood etc. Once you got patina on the blade, it will protect agains rust. So a forced patina (put the blade in hot acid) will protect the blade. Regards Nicolas

    Rodrigo from 2Gknives, who maked my hardening, tested some blades from 1.2442 steel at 61HRC, they will break at about 40º-45º! Not bad for a steel that hard! Regards Nicolas

    Hello, I got back my hardened blades from 1.2442 tungsten tool steel, they're at about 61-62HRC Yesterday I prepared the guards, one from german silver, the other one from brass Blades wrapped in wet cloth to prevent excessive heat (anyway, solder melts at 230ºC and the anealing temp of the blades is at 230ºC, too). Here freshly soldered After the clean up of excessive solder, ready to shape the guard and fit the spacers Once finished, the soldered joint will get polished This bomb proof guard will stay in place, keeping humidity out of the handle for generations.

    So I won't go for a mirrow polish. I normally finish with the grinder to about 150, than by hand with 200, 360, 400 Sometimes I etch the blades in vinegar and make a finish with scoth brite, etch egain, scotch brite... That's the result on my edc Regards Nicolas

    Finishing a blade is the worst! But allways better to finish an unhardened blade than a hardened >60HRC blade... Regards Nicolas
  25. spsurfer
