Just curious. I found it at my old man's place and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. Quality etc. Since I posted it I have been googling it and found some interesting info. I am thinking about cleaning it up, it been in the family for years.

Here is what the set looks like

I am looking for info on an old carving knife set my dad has. It has antler handles and was made in sheffield by Firth. I took a pick of the logo.

Got mine too

I have these two hunks of madrone aka arbutus wood. I think I can make some nice handle material out of them. Anyone have any experience with madrone?

In the same boat. It was at customs on the 24th so hoping to get it in the next day or two.

Glad you like it. It was a tough thing for me to give one of my knives to another maker and to hear you like takes a weight of my chest.

That's what she said?

I have just added more to the list of stuff that needs heat treatment. 2 chef's knives, a straight razor like object and a friction folder.

Is anyone still under the impression that reality TV is real? This is most likely standard practice.

This is AEB-L 12x 2 x 1/8 and this is pure stock removal.

I have started 2, 12 inch kitchen knives and I am having the same problem with both. I seem to be bending them some how. Is this common? Is there something I might be doing that is causing it? So far it is like 1/16 out of true but it bugs me and you will never get it back completely straight...

Mine is sent. So far this has gone very smoothly.

I got two kitchen knives with AEB-L in the process of being made right now. The best part is that it is actually cheaper than 440C despite being a "premium" stainless.

I use it all the time. It is a good quick reference but if I were heat treating, I would definitely go to the source and use the manufacturer data sheets.
