My nephew, son, Sam and myself will be working with a couple of the finished knives.
I do not plan on doing a destruct test, but do plan on extensive use to see how the edge retention is.
When I get the knives done, I may have one more for someone to put through its paces.
They will be hunter and skinner patterns with some sort of drop point front end.
Sam gives them a pretty good work out, so we will see.
Those blades that are being heat treated to 65 Rc are of what general shape and purpose of use??????
I miss spoke above when I posted 62.5 Rc as the target. S/B 63.5, maybe to 64.
Not sure what a point or so difference makes at the end of the spectrum.
