pass around

[Bill Burke]

The knives would be 52100 with a slightly modified(for ease of production) triple quench triple temper heat treat. Tinking about holding #s 1 and 25 out of each bath and doing a set at the end of the year with matching handles and block

And #13 for each batch for Colin set!!'m:

I'm in. 13 is my lucky number so is love to get #13!

Sory, every one here knows I get the #13's...Hoss, Dave, Dell, Marco, Heiji, Stephan, Michele....you can't mess up my collection

I think that this is a really good example of how to best use the passaround concept.

so I have been thinking about a semi custom/midtech type line of knives. water jet cut blanks triple quench etc.. premade wa handles so I would do the grinding and heat treat and then assemble them. I was thinking that I could maybe do about 25 knife batches three or for times a year all the same style/size per batch. considering a prototype mid tech for the pass around. what do y'all think?

Why waterjet? Pierre wrote this in his mid tech knife thread:

They will be cut out by lasers, tighter tollerance than water jet. Same end result, knife blanks. They will be heat treated in salts, in my opinion, a more consistant process. They will also be cryo treated.

Why waterjet?

Cost? Easier to find a place to get it done? Does it matter? Will be hand-ground to final profile, so will a couple hundredths of a mm here or there when rough cut really make a difference?

Not sure if you are just curious as to Bill's fellings about laser vs water (if he even has any), or if you are asking him to defend his position. I suspect it is the former, but your post reads like the latter.

Hi Oivind,

Waterjet because there is a good one locally that likes knives and is a nice guy that is very easy to work with.

Okay. So when do you get started?

2nd. Best. Reason. Ever.

I am gathering info for getting the prototypes started.
