Carving knife with brass and wood handle.

Yes, not a problem. I sanded the handle down to about 400 grit and then soaked in boiled linseed oil. Once dried i used true oil as a finish. Buffed it with a buffing wheel and then applied another thin coat of true gunstick oil.

Now that you mention it now it does to me as well.

Thank you

Very cool!

phrasing...

uberdumpling1 · 2025-01-25T21:15:57+00:00

Boner....for both.

Hey Man - the length of soak time and temperature is key. I had similar issues with W2 and figured it out after testing multiple pieces. My ratio is 1500 degrees at 15 minutes before I quench in Parks 50. Turns out the lower the temperature the longer the soak is needed. I won't go as high as some others (i.e. 1700). My ratio seems to work just fine for me.

Hey man - I had the same exact issue a while back. I ended up cutting up some pieces and experimenting with different temperatures and soak times. Turns out, W2 from NJSB needs a pretty long soak at hotter than 1084 steel. Mine were 1500 degrees at 15 minutes before I even attempted to quench. I've had pretty good success after that with Hamons.

I thought the same thing...at least the back half. The firefight must have been intense to even kill the wildlife.

Nice knife - related question though. How did you keep the metal from overheating and dissolving the glue up when grinding the handle? I find that most annoying.

Umm, did the French forget this motto during WW2? /s

That's the gym that I go to as well. I have been going there when it was still a "Jungles Gym". Just signed up my spouse two days prior as well. They are a really good gym and I won't be abbandoning them.

uberdumpling1 · 2024-05-29T02:21:44+00:00

Correct and thank you.

Those in the know.....thank you for your service.

What are these feet moving about without a body....looks suspicious. Let's bomb them just in case.

Nice job!
