    D2 knives right after heat treatment. Can you tell me more about the colors?

    hi Guys, it's about a year later now and i have resharpened the knife for the first time. I have to say i like it because of its durability and stain resistancy. I sharpened it till about 6000 grit and honed on a leather strap afterwards. The cleaver is having a little trouble cutting through...

    D2 knives right after heat treatment. Can you tell me more about the colors?

    i have several kitchen knives out to friends who say it holds its edge. last weekend i finished a D2 cleaver as well which was a pain to finish because i heat treated it too thick [.8mm] and it took ages to grind it down to .5mm. i was lucky to receive some dry ice to increase the heat treat on...

    finally, the last one is complete, this one is fitted with pear wooden scales, which i really like because of its density. it's been a long journey but worth it.

    O1 steel cleaver with Badoek wooden scales.

    correction: it's called Padouk or Padoek, class 1 and almost no shrinking. bright red when freshly cut but turns coffee brown in sunlight.

    D2 knives right after heat treatment. Can you tell me more about the colors?

    i have 2 more D2 knives in the making but again, this stuff just eats belts as if it's nothing. took me about an hour to take off 4 grams of each knife and the belt is of no use anymore. drawfiling is pretty much useless. frustrating but then again, what if it's finally finished? this could...
