Finished My first knife this avo. Made from 1084 high carbon, satin finished with OD G10 scales.
I heat treated it, it took a good edge and is shaving sharp, but well see how well it holds an edge.

Certainly looks the goods Nick, nice bit of work, well done.
bloody primo. Now you've just gotta shoot something to cut up with it...
Here's mine custom made by Bahco, they even gave me a flash orange sheath so I wouldn't loose it. I did customise it a bit more and add the blue string:ORLY:

Those chain blades look really funky.
Any reason for the triple Heat Treat? If a file skates across the edge after the first one call it good and temper from there. Instead of mystery steel Grab some 1084 or 1075 then you know you'll have a knife that holds an edge afterwards. I can send you some 1084 to try if you wantQuote:
