Hello EggMinions,
It's finally here folks!!! The in-laws have been away this morning and so I've had a couple of hours free in the garage to finish profiling the knife handle. Without blowing my own trumpet too much, I think I've done a decent job for my first ever knife creation.
I won't drone on as I do plenty of that in the latest video below :)
Something I found the other day after tempering (colour change made it noticeable) might greatly shorten the life of this knife though my esteemed side-kick and father-in-law (BirdManSam) who used to work with steel all the time reckons it's no big issue.
So what am I referring to???
A hairline crack on the spine of the blade. Due the file ridges, I'm unable to establish the depth of the crack but going off the slight darkening of the side at that point after tempering, I'm guessing it could be 6-7mm deep :(
Ah well, what will be will be folks.
Many thanks to all for following and supporting,...... you know who you are ;)
Bye for now,
EggMeister.
