Well, it will be magenta instead of red but I donāt think I can get orange anyways
The difficult part will be the coat of arms, I just ordered a 10x10cm plate of Grade 2 Ti to experiment a bit.
Maybe Iāll make a nameplate, too, etching copper has proven to be a tad too difficult and nastyā¦
I have tried to find details on TwoSun knives for years without any success, it doesnāt seem to be a ārealā company, more of a name under which one or several manufacturers brand some of their products.
As always, I could be wrong though and someone better than me has had more success.
Blue Chips, is that Spyderco a frame lock or liner lock? I was looking really hard at the Military/Para Military for the S90V blade steel, didnāt see one with a Ti scale as a frame-lock or I may have taken the plungeā¦
isti, that RFT has a nicely shaped bladeā¦ seems someone missed something on that frame lock though, usually the lock side is thinned down to keep it from being too stout, they didnāt take the thinned section all the way out so it appears it might be pretty stiff to flex, is that the case?
Edit: What I like about the blade shape is that the Tanto style knives were originally made from a broken Samuai sword, using the remaining tip and retrofitting it to a new handle. This blade looks quite similar to my Katana, except for the grind of course. My Katana is convex ground. 28ā of razor blade.
The trick is that the real lock-bar relief is on the inside so itās felxible as it should be.
Are those high-end katanas perfect razor sharp out of the box or do they need any touching up?
It took me almost 2 hours (and 3 beers ) from a #120 diamond to a #3000 ruby. Itās still not a perfect mirror finish but Iām getting closer:
This one is a competition class Katana, came literally razor sharp and has a little wooden box of sharpening materials, essentially a powder ball! They sharpen it with a dang cloth āsackā holding abrasive powder! Beats me, but thatās what the video showed the Master doing, all along the edge beating it with this little powder ball over and over and over in what must take forever! lol Iāve honed it on a leather strap to polish it a bit, but didnāt try the old school way.
Had a Rat Snake after my Labrador Retriever one day, stupid snake was seriously aggressive! I swung the sword, thought Iād missed as I didnāt feel anything make contactā¦ snakeās head and about 2 inches of body were laying separate like a laser had cut him! His body tried crawling away! Cleanest cut Iāve ever seen, amazing stuff! (My dog went bezerk, wanted this thing bad!) [the snake, he wanted the snake]
Reprofiled my Koenig Arius to 17Āŗ and mirror finished edge, this is the CTS204 steel, was out mowing in the heat this morning and decided to cut the sleeves off my T shirt, blade slipped through the cotton material like a quality pair of sewing shears would, just effortless. Had to keep thinking itād do my finger the same way if I got carelessā¦
Came here to look at some knives, now I canāt stop thinking about how good Pilsner Urquell is. Been many years since Iāve enjoyed one (many) of those. Canāt get it where I live now.
Iām lucky because itās quite abundant and inexpensive here. There are also a couple of places where you can find it on tap. Canāt you find anything similar in the American pilsner type craft beer offerings?
