I just finished this up This is a nice, stout bowie ground from 5160, differentially tempered heat treatment by Lee Oates/Bearclaw Knives (the back edge is hardened) with a very basic kydex sheath. It has some nice heft and will chop ease, and while not the fastest blade, it can easily be...

Both edges are razor sharp. I believe in some states like Texas, double-edge blades are outlawed, but the owner of this blade doesn't have to worry about it.

Big, yes. Ugly ? Absolutely gorgeous!. Clean and simple. Do you sell any Jeancarta ? If so, send me a PM.

Part of my BTS (Bates Tactical Series) line, just delivered to the owner who seemed very pleased. Approx 3/16" D2 Steel 4" blade Midnight Tiger G10 (black and tan) 3/16" scales secured with Duraflex and SS Corby bolts Handle approx 4" wide, a little over 7" overall, HT by Lee Oates...

Very nice ! Perfect little backup blade.

Unbelievable, can't wait to see how it performs.

They have some that are already set to go which is great because I don't do any hollow grinding. I just wasn't sure how well the steel actually performed for that purpose. Thanks.

I love your work. One question though, how well does the shellac hold up ? I didn't think shellac is weather-proof at all.

Great tutorial, thanks for taking the time to put it up. One question for Stephan or others, if the blade ends up needing some extra sanding (say because you're an idiot and didn't do enough before HT) when do you worry about grinding away the hamon? Not major stock removal or anything, but...

Has anyone actually used, in other words actually shaved, with one of the damascus straight razor blades from Alabama Damascus, and if so, how was it? The price is right and I've always wanted a nice damascus razor... or two.

That's one SWEET knife !!

I love all your work, but this one is truly extraordinary.

Very impressive use of 'leftovers'. Anytime you have table scraps you want to get rid of, let me know. I love the dark maple and damascus and the sheath really tops it off!

Jaw dropping beautiful!!

Do you and Murph mind sharing your recipe for etching ? Especially D2. thanks

Another thumbs up for Elmax. I tried it at the recommendation of Chuck at Alpha and had two blades differentially heat treated, one for finishing and one for destruction testing. That made for one incredibly tough blade!!

That's a beauty!! You can't beat a nice shave with a straight razor, especially a fine one like that. How mcuh would you charge for one like that ?

Check with Chuck at Alpha Knife Supply, I think he can get you large sheets.

I'll take 931. thanks

Definitely not over the top. Very nice lines and flow overall. Like Travis, I might have gone thinner with the spacers, but I don't think they take away from it at all. The nut on the pommel is a very nice touch, is that custom ?
