First Fixed Blade in 1095 Carbon Steel

Post by Jeffinn »

It's not perfect but it turned out pretty good.
The blade was cut, ground, heat treated and tempered by me in my shop. Leftover micarta of some sort for the handles.

Very nice work and congrats on your first fixed blade! ::tu:: ::tu:: How did you do the heat treatment - oil quenching?

The overall length is 7”, the blade height is approx. 7/8” and the thickness was 1/8” when I started (possibly a bit thinner after grinding etc.)

Yes, heated in a forge and then quenched in oil.

Looks good to me! I like the slim profile a lot. We’ll done.

Hey Jeff, very nice work. I like the profile. Are those corby rivets holding the scales on? Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, those are Corby bolts/rivets holding the handles on (along with some epoxy). I like the added strength that Corby bolts add so I’ve been using them on all of my fixed blades.

Has forged in fire influenced your decision to make knives? A lot of folks took up that hobby because of that show. Keep up the good designing and building knives!!
