    Looks great Frank! Are you doing the heat treating on your fillet knives Frank? If you are, I'd love to hear your treat for Ats 34..mine seem to lack the flex a fillet needs.

    I did the HT myself like I would any knife. The thing about flex is the thickness of the blade. Thats why I left the handle portion wider. and the blade thinner. I just ramp up to 1400 and hold for 15 minutes then up to 1925 for 30 miutes. Plate quench then into dry ice for 8-12 hours. then two tempers at 400 degrees for two hours each. Comes out around 59-60 and flexes good and straitens out again. This is the first fillet I have heat treated so I have been testing it and it has work great.

    Thats close to my HT but I've delevoped cracks in a test blade. I dont make many fillet knives and really have just been practicing.. I temper higher then you, I dont know if that is a problem or not.

    I would think a higher temper would be better. When I sent my fillets to Peter HT they would send them back at 58-59 rc, I was told that it could be 61 and still flex ok, it was just the thinner the bladethe more flexible.

    Now this blade wont flex at a 90 degree angle and the guy knows it. it just bows. The fillet mora I have flexes more than this one.

    It could be that I just expect to much from the steel. Thanks for your help...I'll have to mess with it some more.

    My mora is thinner than this 1/16" One the next one I am going to try and take the flat grind higher, but it tough with thin steel like this. Maybe that will give it more flex.

    I like it. I really, really do. It has some very clean lines and that's a soft color for the handle. Very nice!
