Quench in water, quench in oil, quench in brine...it's all different from different manufacturers, different book writers....to each his own once again. You just gave me a link to your own thread on...
Interesting...the compound chizel has been one of the toughest edges in my experience, and maintaining the edge is simple. And at nearly a 7" blade, it is very useable. The compound chizel is far...
I sketched this up today and decided to go with it. Let me know what you think. Only one crappy cell phone photo, but you get the idea. I still need to heat treat it. 1095 steel, right hand...
I pull my 1st out of my knife block now and then. It makes me chuckle at how great I felt making it. Now, I just laugh at myself. Your first is considerably better than mine!
I'm in for pics when you get it back. Heat shrink can prove useful for a lot of things if you have any imagination.
I agree 100%. Funny thing, seems like all Jarheads turn to blademakers. Almost all of them that I know about are anyway. What was your MOS? 0341 here.
So, no fire/smoke required? I'm really wanting to try this!
That sounds like a ton of fun! Gives me ideas!
Don't gamecams have a date/time stamp?
Beautiful blades! What steel was used?
Welcome... from just a few miles west of you.
That's funny Rick. I didn't, but I don't plan on eating them 3 meals a day.
I'm right there with you Winter...but they are very easy to make. Break the blade, no problem. It was already square anyway.
I must be a bit behind. I have to go google a prismatic compass.

Is this a Sams Club only deal? Or maybe does Costco carry them?
I got lucky and found a pallet of milspec mre's last year with a vvery healthy inspection date. (can't remember right off hand) I promptly dropped $800 @ $50 a case. Not a good staple, but I have...
I have a blastmatch and a vacuum sealed wad of cottonballs soaked in vasoline. Starts a fire every single time. Yeah, it's high tech, but all 5 of us here have the same set up. We can be warm/cook...
That green sky is amazing!
That Guadalcanal pic is great! I can never get enough history, even if it's pictures with no huge story.
I have liked your knives since i first saw them. Very clean, and purpose built.
Sounds like a lot of fun. This is the best way to gain knowledge. I guarantee you figure out a few things you can add/delete from your gear. I am in the process of getting a family of 5 ready for...
Welcome Bush Monkey. You seem....familiar (insert broken tooth smartass smiley here)
Northern Horseman, that's a great bit of info. I copied and printed that. Almost everywhere I go, cattails can be found.
