Gotta love Holiday weekends , that means no work and no school stuff of running around with the kids , which = shop time ( which since it was raining meant no range time , which also = more shop time ).
I Managed to get these two almost done. Just need to do the sheaths , get em logo'd and sharpened. Got another done this afternoon , aint snapped picts of it yet , but it's a modified loveless patten made from Boehler N690 ( 5/32 thick )
First one:
Steel : 3/16 154cm ( Paul Bos HT )
flat ground , hand satin (400 grit that is as fine a grit as I use).
Scales : green micarta with red liners with SS corby bolts & a SS lan tube
tang tapers to approx .065 - .070
OAL: 10 1/8 with 4 5/8 cutting edge.
This one will get a leather sheath , can stand to put a nice finish in Kydex.
Second One :
Steel : .200 S30v (Paul Bos HT)
flat ground ( .016 at the edge )
Scales : Green Micarta , SS/brass loveless bolts , SS lan tube
tang tapers to approx .060
Finish : al ox blast followed by glass bead blast
OAL: 10 1/2" with a 5 1/2 cutting edge
This one is supposed to get a kydex sheath if I recall ( have to dbl check with the buyer)
After being out of the shop since the first of June , it felt dam good to finish something without screwing it up Maybe now I can finally get this next batch of 22 blades off to Paul Bos for HT.
Both:
154Cm
S30v:
Gotta thank the wife for allowing me the time to goof off in the shop on a 4 day weekend.
