Pequenos

[Jesse Latham]

These little guys have been keeping me busy lately. I had a request for one in all damascus so I made an extra. My damascus of 1084 & 15n20.

 

[Jesse Latham]

Another couple Pequenos.

Cool. Do you leave the "springy" part of the lockbar on the damscus frame version soft or just thin?

 

[Jesse Latham]

I thin and spring temper.

 

[Mark Knapp]

Nice.

 

[jmforge]

I thin and spring temper.

how hard do you leave the lock "face?"

 

[Jesse Latham]

how hard do you leave the lock "face?"

The lock bar ends up with a spring temper and of course the lock face on the blade is hard. I can't imagine any issue of wear on such a small knife. I thought about carbidizing the titanium locks but haven't seen the point.
