Now is o1 carbon steel or stainless? Do you happen to know the heat treat process for it?

Ok I cant wait. I was going to be patient, read posts, absorb information over time and then try my hand at making a knife. I am new to the forum and the knife world, but do have fairly extensive fabrication skills. I have a couple profile drawings in CAD, have a water jet and belt sanders at...

Without a doubt on both points. Very accurate and consistent, but not a traditional custon knife for sure.

Yes, conventional machining would be pretty hard. Cnc might work pretty well though. I'll take a look at his progress. Thanks

I'm wondering if anybody has experience using vertical mills/CNC to cut blades? Even just initial material removal then finish sand?? I do mean the edge, not the profile.

Your words are ringing very true. I just finished looking at Dave Martell and Rodrique's galleries and others, truly, truly impressive! Looks like I found the honey hole.

I was impressed with the feel of Kasumi and New West Knife Works. I started some drawings incorporating some of the light weight attributes of these knives. Researching metals right now so I can water jet some blanks...soon hopefully!

Hello, I was doing some knife snooping and happened across your forum. Although not much of an online chatter, I am interested in knives. I am in the process of designing a couple at the moment and really could use the resource of knowledgeable people. I look forward to the conversation. Sean-
