Well, I was not sure if or what I would do next for a batch of blades. Didn't do much last year.

I have settled on CPM 154. I have had good luck with 154CM, but thought the powdered metal version was a good next go round. Will target Rc 60 with cryo cycles for finished blades.

I have a 2'x3' sheet of .140" coming. I will have to pick some patterns for most of the sheet which will be cut out by water jet.
The balance of the sheet will be cut and shaped by hand for "special" patterns.

Other than those blanks water jet cut, all processes will be by hand (band saw, belt sanders, drill press, sharpen, final finish, etc).

I do not think I will be doing a pictoral review of this project as that is a bit of a pain for me to do.
I have really enjoyed the posts by Bob Wills of his process though.

Just thought I would mention it to this group.
