Well , I am drilling holes and grinding bevels. A couple custom requests proving to be of "special" needs. They are coming out good, but I doubt I will do more of those again. Havin fun now that the weather is better in the garage. Thanks Tim

Sent 31 blades to Bos H.T. today. About half are for the 24hr crew. I took a pic, but did not come out that great. IF someone wants to post the pic here, I can send it to them. Thanks Tim

Thanks Tim Outstanding. Sounds like you're really pumping them out this spring, Tim. Good Luck with sales of the other half!

Thanks Allen Video???? I am not "at one" with the darned smart ass phone my wife got for me. I am probably spying on myself and do not know it. I was born about a century toooo late.
These blades are all for the 24 hr crew. I think they came out pretty well. Thanks Tim

Since I am able to send a video I did not know I took, it is obvious I am not going to have and easy go of it learning to post on here again. I could post pics before if my wife posted them on the PC and when you could work with PB. Again, 100 years tooooo late. Thanks Tim

FYI Heat treated CPM M4 sure is hard on fine grit belts.
M4 does darken with ferric chloride for those who are interested.
Chemistry for M4 is: Carbon 1.42% Manganese .30% Sulpher .06% Chromium 4.00% Vanadium 4.00% Molibdinum 5.25% Tungsten 5.50%
Thanks Tim

I only know about my knife, but it is getting close. Tim and I started discussions late November/early December last year and I do not want or need a sheath. Those things may be why mine is getting close.
Hank, You might be interested in what I do for a sheath. Deer hunting here tends to be pretty cold pretty often and I do not like a belt sheath when wearing bibs. I hang my knife off the suspenders for the bibs and usually have some sort of fail safe to keep the knife from coming out of the sheath

I should have the last of the batch put together in the next several weeks. I saved the most complicated for the last. I will notify when knife is 95% done and near ready to ship. Thanks Tim

Never buy a new knife out of a new steel in the spring! Tim sent mine out of this batch last week and ever since it got here everything I look at is something I wonder whether it'd be a good thing to cut on. Road kill deer look tempting as hell. I kind of think the first useful cutting I do with it will be to make another suspenders sheath for it
For those of you still waiting... Tim does nice work. The steel is on the hard side and seems tough enough to suit me. Mine is a petite knife out of his BNT patternwith a simple basic Orange handle that functions as well upside down as right side up. When I get the sheath made for it I will post a pic in this thread., and hopefully I will have done some cutting to report on.

I have the last of this batch in line for assembly operations, so won't be long. All should be done in a couple weeks. I will notify when about a week from able to ship.
Thanks Tim
