    Steels... we could talk hours about steels and their advantages.. Generally you can say that stainless has one advantage, well, it's less prone to rust Pure carbon steels like C75, C80, C100 etc don't have any alloys added, take a very fine edge, are very flexible, but won't hold an edge very long and they can rust. Now for the tool steels, you can add alloys that will form carbides, these will make the edge last longer (as long as they are very small). And you can add chromium to make it resistant agains rust (no steel is 100% stainless) but the chrome will not allow an e

    Absolutely right! BUT.... I like the old fashioned way You can put a plastic stock on a gun, but a walnut stock with london oil finish looks so good With solder, the joint between blade and bolster is totally flush, with epoxi it's sealed, but you can see the joint.

    I want to 100 % seal the tang from moisture as the 1.2442 is a high carbon steel that likes to rust, I prefer the idea that no moisture or dirt can get in there. It shure will ne enough with the two pins, but with the solder, you will see not even the smallest gap in between bolsters and tang (gap barely visible as both, bolster and tang are ground flat).

    Hello, I allways liked the Loveless city knife and here is my attempt for this tiny knife. I made some changes, as for example a dropped down edge so it will stand up better the test of time, after several years of sharpening. Material is the tungsten steel 1.2442, a specialist for VERY fine, flexible, super hard edges, the blade is ground to 0 - scary sharp. Bladelenght is about 62mm overall I think to remember a 15cm. It's a challenge, as I never made before a full tang knife with peened and soldered bolsters, everyhting very small, so you have to work in tiny spaces
