Thread: Best custom knife maker NZ

its as it will stay....... touch one of my knives with an angle grinder and suffer the consequences ........ hint,it wont be pretty.
seen far too many good blades buggered up by grinders of different sorts over the years.... I already HAVE trimmed it to what I liked at the time..... any grinding was done well before the final shaping and heat treatment.

Double and triple tempering is effective with certain specific steel types in conjunction with cryo but its definitely not a one size fits all and for the most parts it shouldn't be necessary. Another thing to consider is that the more you temper the lower the final HRC will be.

I have a Von Gruff, I've seen another.
What I will say is he has a great reputation on the African forum and has sold high quality knives to many members.

That's not discounting others name here.
@cobber an NZHS member is a knifemaker too.
