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!  :D

Classy, and I like your performance testing.
