Fourtyfive

Looking good ! ....... "After using the bastard and double cut files and sanding with 80 grit I set the blade up on my handle 2X4 and start sanding lengthwise to flatten the blade and even things up. First I sand with 120 grit until the scratches from the 80 are gone the repeat the process with 220 grit. This is as far as I'll take it before it goes to heat treat." Set up before sanding.... After sanding down to 220.

  Grand Torino , if you want to post the pics instead of me repeating them that's fine. Just let me know , I'm having fun anyways just watching. I can't wait to get my hands on it , but take your time.

  Yes they willis.  :woohoo:

Mike Freeman runs the TRF , and owns the castle ; nice guy.

Don't forget Guns For America , nice little mom and pop place ; I do a lot of business there. 

You can apply for a lost title , check for stolen first.

God Bless.

Welcome to the illness !

Next step : :woohoo: Here's the next one...filing the initial grind. I do them by hand...first with a rough bastard cut file...then a smoother double cut then with a series of sandpapers.....one side at a time.

Nice !

Whitt's for me.   Just went and picked up 2 Lbs. , couldn't take it any longer .......

Hope he makes a full recovery.

I will go for 2 now , #45 and #44 if available.

  I aint using it yet .....1084 carbon steel I believe.   That or laminated PBR cans which would suit me just fine  :cool: Otherwise known as PBR Damascus.

THIS WILL BE MY MOST VALUABLE FIXED BLADE KNIFE I WILL EVER OWN. I asked if we could show the progress of the manufacture process and he agreed. Get ready for a slow but very concise view of a custom high quality knife in progress from stage one. The steel : The Template : The Trace : The Rough Cut Out : MORE TO COME .......... :cheers:

Somebody ate too many burritos !
