My latest project:
Blade: 5" Triple Quenched, Triple Tempered Forged 5160, then etched for an "aged" look.
Handle: 4.25" Guayacan (sp?) with brass hardware.
Still have to epoxy the handle and put the finishing touches on it.
I put a nice edge on it a gave it a good test tonight:
2 passes through a 2x4, chopped some dead limbs off of an apple tree, cut down some maple saplings, cut some pine boughs, some more dead limbs from a crabapple tree (would've chopped more but it was getting late and my arm was getting tired!) and still had a shaving edge. Think this one's a good one :grin:
Thanks for looking!
