Knife number 2

<< < (2/2)

Cardboard_Duck:
Thanks for the comments :)

I brought it to work today, showed the guys at my shop and got some good constructive criticism. Some liked the weight of the 1/8" thick blade, some didn't, they also said the handle was a bit small. Overall good I guess.

I also abused the #$%@ out of it  >:D first a put a good edge on it with a Work Sharp knife sharpener and cut everything I could with it  >:D  >:D  >:D even some 6065 aluminum!! I have to say it held an edge even after the aluminum shaving session, but I'm assuming I didn't have a high enough or long enough heat session for the temper so it must be brittle... but I knew that when my files wouldn't touch it after the tempering. All part of the learning process right :)
