This is my latest project. I actually made 2 of them for young guy who liked the fillet knife I sold him. Details are as follows:

ATS34 1/8" stock
8" OL
Zebrawood Scales
HT to RC 60

Suggestions, comment welcomed.

Good looking knife and sheath.
Did you heat treat the blade? I just ordered some ATS34 but never have used it, and don't have the ability to cyro so wondering about a recipe.

The sheath is fantastic, is it hand stitched? if so what type of thread, I'd like to do one with nice white stitching.

Thanks
Mark
 
info

I did the HT myself. I use a homemade gas forge with a single forced air burner fed with propane. I hold at 1900 degrees F. for 15 minutes, then plate quench between 2 1" thick aluminum plates. It was tempered at 275 degrees for 2 hours. It test RC 60 on my tester.

I hand stitched with linen thread after dying.
