Congrats on your first one...looks great to me!

That's an exceptional piece! Thanks for the eye candy.

Don't know that I have "real knowledge" but I'll give you my 2 cents... The first few I made I tempered the spring @1150 for 2 hrs and the springs were a little stiff. I've since bumped it up to 1170 and they feel about right. Might have to tinker with it a little to find the sweet spot with...

All 3 are awesome!

Stunning piece and photography!

That's something to behold alright! Thanks for giving us a look.

I'd give Rio Grande a look. Bet they'll have what you're hunting for. Here's the link: http://www.riogrande.com/Home

Very nice! I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite but that mammoth ivory is sweet.

Just perfect!

I really like this one too...it's a beauty!

OK, here's my 2 cents worth...I would opt for tip down if the blade will have a flipper tab on it. That way it will be less likely to come open in your pocket and if it does happen to come open a little then the removal of it from your pocket will tend to close the blade rather than have it...

Looks great to me! If I were going to change anything it would be to use a little thicker steel for the blade so the nail nick could be a little deeper but that might detract from the thin and light mojo you were going for. Very nice work!

What a pair of beauties!

Stunning piece for sure! I expect you'll have great success at Blade.

Beautiful work! Looks like you're a natural at working stone.
