leatherjo Report post Posted January 6, 2014 I'm new to this forum, but I certainly have enjoyed reading the exchanges. By way of giving back to the group, I am posting the URL for a website I found on knife blades. I came across it when I was trying to compare two knives. The article may contain more information than you want or need, but I found it helpful. http://www.knifesupp...ade_steels.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuttish Report post Posted January 24, 2014 I'm testing out some paring knives I made out of D2 and CPM S30V. Is anyone else here making their own tools? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanch Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Its been a long time that I've posted here! I have made a few or I should say a lot of my own tools and since the last time I posted I have taken another bad habit/hobby knife making its funny how one hobby led me to another and they tie so well together...I use 5160 spring steel, and have made a couple of head knives out of what I am pretty sure is L6 saw mill end cut blades if they aren't L6 then my money is on 15N20...they have heat treated and tempered very nicely and hold a razor edge...12-14oz saddle skirting is like soft butter to my most used one!
