Forged knives numbers 2 and 3
« on: August 30, 2011, 10:51:04 am »
Just finished these 2 up, just need to get sheaths made for them.  Both are forged from Aldo's 1084 steel and wrapped with 10-12 feet of paracord.

Thanks guys.  I'm getting a little better at shaping with the hammer, but I still had to grind and file quite a bit on these.  Got a couple more in the works that are going to be different.

The green doesn't have a home, Eddie.  If you want it drop me a line.

Thanks everybody!  Chris, I brought them up to non-metallic in my forge and quenched in canola oil.  After that I tempered them in the oven at 500 degrees for 2 one hour cycles.

Did you let them completely cool between cycles?

Yep, I think I waited an hour or so between cycles but they were probably cool enough before then.
