spsurfer 891 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hello, this knife is basically a "Wanderer" model regarding size and blade form, but the elegant lines and appearance called for another name, so I'll call it my "Herrenmesser" / "Gentleman knife". The handle is really ergonomic, edge up or down, with thump on the spine as when you're cutting a steak, very pleasing to hold in the hand. The specs: blade 9cm from 3mm 1.2442 tungsten steel Guard from german silver, fiber, inox, micarta and black buffalo. Handle 11,8cm Weight 105gr. I hope you like this new model!

spsurfer 891 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks you for your kind words! @ bird, I never tried to do a folder, I think my machines are not good enough to provide this total precision that you need for a perfect folder. But shure, one day I'll try Regards Nicolas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Nice looking knife. Do you heat treat the tungsten yourself or send it away? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spsurfer 891 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thank you Gruffalo, all my heat treatment are done by Rodrigo from 2Gknives, as he has years of experience and workshop. But the heat treat of the 1.2442 is not that complicated, normalizing, heat treat at 820ºC I think to remember, several anealing cycles at about 220ºC I think. Result, an amazing fine and durable edge at a 61/62HRC. Regards Nicolas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
