I couldn't say Ken but I have found that taking several readings with a rockwell tester over one area will usually vary, compared to doing the same testing on a mono steel.

Just something I've been doing for years. I've had some thicker blades still tugging at a magnet when I assumed they were at temperature to quench. just something I always do and seems to work for me, I've never had any problems doing it like this.

I just did some Alabama Damascus yesterday, here’s how I go about it. Bring the oven to 1550…then put the blade in, let soak for about five minutes, crack the door open and check with an extendo magnet. It’s usually good, 0 magnetization. Close the door and let the oven get back up to 1550...

Nice! watch where it goes with the ivory on it. there's some folks that like to confiscate knives with ivory. I've got some nice pieces I've just been sitting on for about four years now, probably use them and just warn the owners about the laws out there.

That's going to look good Dennis, what's that handle material?

Yes, plain talcum powder.

CD,I've used 321 for years with no issues going up to 1975, I highly recommend dusting your knives with talc to help prevent the wrap welding to the blade. I had that happen a couple times years ago and it makes a real mess to the blade.

Dang! that's a friggin ouchy right there!

The actual gun was used for that one.

I just looked that thing up, it looks pretty awesome. looking forward to see some things you do with it.

If it’s one of those invisible knives, it looks great.

Just finished this small sidekick model, Alabama Damascus, jigged bone scales, red liners, nickel silver pins and lanyard hole. the sheath has a belt loop on both sides so it can be carried on the left or right side, forward or backward.

Thanks guys!

Here's a couple knives I just finished, both have CPM154 stainless blades with satin finish and decorative vine pattern filework on the spines.. this one has black G10 scales, red G10 liners, nickel silver pins and lanyard hole. Thanks for looking! This one has Desert Ironwood scales, black...

Thanks Dennis!

Thanks Ken.

Thanks Chris!

Since I invested in a sewing machine and started making a few holster along with sheaths I've been researching a lot about prepping leather. there's all sorts of potions out there that seem to work better then the last. I've boiled down my process to plain old water, no soap, no pro carve...

They take patience that's for sure!

Not a knife sheath but it still holds steel. two tone 1911 pancake holster. Thanks for looking!
