Update:
This dude drills.
Are these all heat treated to 65 HRC as well? It doesn't feel like it's a real Kamon knife without a Rockwell divot on the handle end cap, after all.

You know homeopathy? It works like that. Take a soft end cap, put it near hardened steel, punch it 3 times on a leather pad and viola... End cap has 65hrc and is marked as such.
Kidding aside though - it's just simple stainless steel. Essentially the same stuff you butter knives and forks are made of.

I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
Damascus butter knife massdrop when?

I think you under/over-estimate us as a group. Half of us cutlery hardened to 90HRC in the blood of our enemies. The other half are using plastic as we stare at our stunning kitchen knife collection.
I agree. Even though I'm not in on this massdrop and have zero knifemaking skills, I still really appreciate all of the knowledge that Ben has shared throughout this process. His attention to detail and the deliberateness of his craft is amazing. Someday I'll have to try one!

Is there one on the end that isn't bog oak? Also, what a machine. Dang.

Uhh, a lucky, extremely rare mass drop handle... Probably for the one numbered 1 on the tang!
Seriously, the other day I felt pretty good profiling 4 blades, finishing a basic saya (still need to shape a pin) and gluing up a western handle after getting ~2 uninterrupted hours to play in the shed. Looking at this, @KAMON Knives would probably would have heat treated, tempered, ground the blades and gotten started on the handles in the same amount of time.
He also would have converted the new oak to bog oak. I'm just saying, he's that good.

Im seriously amazed by the consistency, despite this being all handmade. But after seeing the high level of organization through every step of the process, I can certainly see why.
And if it was his style, he'd turn the decarb into DLC coating.

Haha here really nothing gets missed. I like it. I'm slowly getting worried you guys could recognize in some reflection that I'm Actually making those pics naked
.So there are two additional handles that are different. They'll be a gift for two of the three Massketeers for their work organizing this as a little thank you. The third Massketeer will get a surprise you won't see in any pics. I'll let you alone with your fantasy on that one.
