Thanked: 21 Nice work!
These look very nice! I like the idea of getting a semi-custom blade blank and getting to pick out the final features that complete it.
Very nice work!!!

out of curiosity, what is so special about 52100 steel, and at what hardness do you plan to heat treat it?

its a high carbon ball bearnign steel
its got high strength for a high carbon steel as you know ball bearnings take a beating day in and out
it is known to hold a fine edge for long tim
it also holds a nice thin edge
i am running it at RC62-63 hard yes but the reward is when honed less need for touch ups

Thanked: 105 finished LRH semi custom
Didn't like the way the first set of scales turned out , so this is the second set. Tulip wood with paduck spacer.
Thanks for looking. And thank you to Butch for and outstanding blade.
