Just finished this today for a customer and it is a first for me. Never did a tactical of this type before. Blade is 3/16" CPMS35VN, 63/16" long and OAL is 107/8", tempered to 59.5-61 by Bos Heat Treating with a hand rubbed finish. Handle material is canvas micarta. waltscustomknives.blademakers.com

Thanks for sharing this info Laurence.

Thanks Ed.

I am wondering if any of you ever use Tru Oil on stabilized scales to prevent fading of the finish from useage, blood etc.? I have used it on non stabilized scales but have never used it on stabilized wood. Any opinions? Thanks for any response.

Thank you for that info Laurence.

Does not look like they are going to be very prompt on this.

Has anyone gotten any feedback from Norton on this?

Just wanted to warn you fellas, if you get an email that indicates it is from Fed X and says something about an address being wrong which caused them to be unable to deliver an item and has a supposed invoice to open, do not click on this. It is a bug of some sort. I was fortunate that my...

I am using ceramic glass platen. It is not wore out, I just noticed that I am beginning to see some scratches on the platen where pressure is applied. I have been using a razor blade to get rid of the black stuff. I was just surprised to see scratches after only 5 blades.

Thanks for the replies.

I started using a glass platen a short time ago and was surprised to see that grooves are already started to form where pressure is put against the platen. I am wondering if this is common or not. Also wondering if this black crud from the Blaze belts has something to do with it. I am talking...

Thank you for what you are trying to get acccomplished with Norton Lawrence and Ed. I did run one of the new ones that I just received today for a short period of time and sure enough, there was a small amount on the top edge and bottom edge of the glass platen. I am wondering if this stuff...

Yes Lawrence it is too late to have the order changed and I do not know when I will get to try some. Having a small surgical procedure done on my right index finger next week.

Lawrence, I do not have variable speed, only the step pulleys. It does not sound like you are grinding that fast. Since I do this part time, I do not use the volume of belts that some others do. I had a pretty good supply of 36 grit and have just recently needed to reorder. I guess I may have...

Is this problem with the Blaze Plus? I have been using the blaze ever since they first became available and have not experienced this with them, but I do not grind fast and hard. I did have this same problem with some 3M belts a few years ago and will not use them again.

Thanks for the info.

Even though two bandsaw blades may be made by the same company, they are not always the same quality. I started to cut out some new blanks and changed the bandsaw blade before starting. The old blade had cut 23 1/8" CPMD2 blanks that were 8 1/2" OAL. and 7 1/8" CPM S35VN blades that were 8...

Does anyone here have any idea how CTS XHP would compare with S30V or S35VN on edge retention? Thanks for any info.

Thanks for the comments.

It will be carried inside a boot in a sheath that has a clip to attach to the top of the boot.
