Rossr Report post Posted January 8, 2020 I wrapped this sheath up today. Deer skin lined W&C skirting. Geometric stamp and a border stamp. Machine stitched on a needle awl machine. Knife I also made o-1 tool steel, antler and wood handle. Pretty happy with this one not overly fancy but just worked out nice imo. Thoughts as always welcomed Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexOstacchini Report post Posted January 14, 2020 lovely stuff, have just recently got into knife making too so very interested in this kind of build Not leather related but how do you go about heat treating the o1? Would like to try it but have read mixed things regarding the importance of soaking time during hardening so don't know how appropriate it would be for a noob like me Great looking knife and sheath Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would like to try it but have read mixed things regarding the importance of soaking time during hardening so don't know how appropriate it would be for a noob like me Great looking knife and sheath Alex I'm far from a metal expert. But for me I heat the o-1 to non magnetic and then quench in oil. After that I temper for an hour at 425 degrees. Then cool then a second hour at 425 again. I've played with different times and temper temps.(including just 1 cycle) I have also read many things regarding o-1 and soak times . Im confident with a proper heat treat oven you can get a more refined product. However I've been happy with my testing of the knives and I've used knives I've made for years with good results. My advice if you can get it and it's not real expensive try it. Test it see how it works for ya. Other options include 1084, 1095, among many others. I guess I got comfy with o-1 and keep using it, it holds an edge well and I can heat treat with my forge at home. Try stuff enjoy the journey Thanks for the compliments Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
