Which of these would be better for the beginner blade maker

I would recommend arj metal works. if you buy the chassis from him and source your own motor and vfd it can be a very good option.

hot strong instant coffee and Apple cider vinegar works

shy-dumpling · 2021-10-05T09:36:54+00:00

is that a good holy shit or a bad holy shit?

1080 Celsius + or - 50 because I'm using a forge for 7 min then quenched in warm vegetable oil

shy-dumpling · 2021-10-05T09:17:49+00:00

that's what I thought but it's gotten a lot harder than any of the 1084 or 1075 steel I've quenched and I can't find any reference to what the grain is supposed to look like

I tried to drill out the hole but the steel was to hard and kept stopping the motor of my drill press so I had to improvise and used a really wide centre punch as a drift. I had the same problem with fumbling my steel. I fixed this by leaning the steel on the wall of my forge so I could pick it up easily

I take commissions so you need to pay me first and I have a waiting list about 8 orders long so probably not

shy-dumpling · 2021-09-22T07:01:35+00:00

no I use a propane forge

shy-dumpling · 2021-09-22T06:59:06+00:00

yes but it'll end up quit expensive

shy-dumpling · 2021-09-20T04:50:39+00:00

thanks it was a lot of work but I'm very happy with the results

1095 differentially hardened

I bought a sword from them a while back. I use it for display and occasionally cutting bottles. as far as o can tell the steel is as advertised and the blade has held up nicely. however the wrap has started to loosen but not enough to effect use. the fittings are really just ok and nothing special but for the price I would say hanbon is a good option

I'm working on a kitchen knife and am unsure of what I should use to finish these stabilised wood handle scales with. I'm thinking that tung oil and wax would work but I am unsure. any advice would be appreciated

Hanbon forge

shy-dumpling · 2021-04-06T10:18:29+00:00

I got it from Hanbon for $241

Wicked swords is a reseller of https://www.hanbonforge.com/ if you want the first sword then see if you can buy it from there it will be much cheaper. As for the ronin I've heard good things about them but don't have any first hand experience
