I thought I would share one I finished not too long ago. I call this model the JEN . Blade- Aldo's 1084 @ 59-60 .125 thick length 2 15/16 handle- Tero Tuff with red liners epoxied and attached with steel chainring bolts and lanyard tube. [/url] Tupper Knives JEN...

Brad, That knife is soooooooooo clean! Very nicely done!

Wow ! What a beautiful place. Congratulations Randy.

Awesome! I would also like to see this thing in action.

Thanks a ton you guys! It does not matter much to me if I get full hardness all the way through the spine on my knife. I don't see myself using that thing hard, in fact I have no idea what I would actually use that thing for. It is kind of a odd knife for me, It started life as a cut off piece...

Thank you very much Kevin and One. I have learned a few things in this thread. One of them is that I was mistaken in my assumption that canola oil was a medium speed quench.The other is what is meant by the nose. I do have 2 more questions,one is their any source for a professional quenchent...

What is this nose that you speak of?:confused2: Seriously though,I have heard this term used but I must admit I do not know what it means. Also, is it acceptable to not get hardness all the way through the blade? I will go back to the stickies in the meantime. Thank you all for your help.

Thanks One. Sorry, I should have made it a bit more clear that the pics I posted are of the blade in its rough ground stage.I would never try to heat treat anything in that state.If I use a quenchent that is slower than what is called for won't I get a blade that is not hardened all the way...

Congratulations on the wedding,John! Beautiful knife also.

Could anyone tell me how to mix up brine and at what temp it should be at the time of quench. Also would anyone be willing to sell/trade me enough Parks 50 to do two knives?

Thanks guys. Please do not take this as I am disagreeing with you. I was under the impression canola oil behaved like a medium speed quench and 1095 needed a fast quench. Is there any truth to that or am I completely off base? Doug, It was the first piece of knife making steel I ever bought so...

Ok I hate to even ask this one but I must do it. I have two knives in 1095 that I need to heat treat. What would be the best quenchent that I could use with out buying 5 gal of Parks 50 ? I would like to take the safest route so I guess oil would be better brine for my purpose. I do not plan on...

Beautiful looking folder! I am not usually one for bolsters but it flows very nicely with the jigged bone. Nice job all the way around.

Thanks guys. I ended up going through Maxim. Upon a suggestion from a good guy named Bill , I called and talked to Carla,she was super helpful and nice. I have a 5 gal. pail of Houghton type G on it's way for a little less than $110 shipped. that should last me for a while. Many thanks for your...

A word of warning, The wait time on my oven was a little over 4 weeks. I do think it is worth the wait. Another thing I did not realize is that the safety switch that comes standard on the KF is a add on with the KO. It is not totally necessary but I do wish I had it on my oven.

I went with the Ko because of the higher temp abilities. The KO will reach 2400* F and the KF will reach 2200*f . I am not sure what steel I might work with in the future so I wanted the widest range of temp I could get . I went with the Evenheat brand because of other knife makers telling me...

Thank you very much,Kevin. If they all are so close in performance,can you recommend one on price and availability and maybe some good folks to get it from?

Howdy folks it's me again haha. While I am waiting for my quench plates and foil to arrive so I can HT that cpm154 I was asking about , I have a bar of O1 I would like to make into some knives. My question is, what quench oil will give me the best results with O1 steel. I have read that Parks...

All I have for a drill press right now is a HF drill press. I think if I hung a 25lb weight on the handle it would snap it right off haha. Thanks for the lead and for the advice.

Howdy Mosseyard, How has the handle held up? It looks great. edit : wait that was yesterday...duh :p I'm going to sleep now
