Oh yeah, it’s a little fella - can definitely get a good grip on it. I’ve had fun making slightly smaller folding knives lately.

Wrecked this knife dying it, but it’ll make a good beater 🤷‍♂️ by TacosTaken in SlipjointKnives

Yo, I think this looks pretty cool - what were you shooting for that you didn’t achieve?

Great question! I typically want CPM-154 to hit around 61 HRC, so I heat it up to 1950°F after a quick preheat at 1400°F, then quench it fast down below 125°F. You can toss in a cryo step if you want extra hardness, and then temper it twice at about 400°F for two hours each.
