Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 63 Finished Norseman and more blades

Описание: We're finally getting to the point in this batch of Norseman knives where we're able to start assembling knives and getting them set up properly. Still a lot of little things left on the to-do list, but it's getting smaller every day. In this video I was able to put together a really cool blue stonewashed knife and play with it for a while, I love it! Everything is finally coming together so nicely.

At 4:08 Erik shows off his mad disc sanding skills for getting the titanium handles scratch free and super duper shiny!

At 6:30 I explain two different types of cutting tools that I tried for machining the bevels of my blades. At this point the RWL34 blades have been heat treated to 60.5 Rockwell C, so machining them is bound to be tricky and wear out tools quickly. However, I finally found a combination of settings and tools that gives me an acceptable tool life and a great surface finish.

By 15:22 I go back to that first blue knife and tweak it some more. I take the knife apart and you get to see how it works inside and how I "set" everything so that it flips out as fast as possible.

Thanks for watching! If you would like to get in line for the next batch of Norseman knives just send me an e-mail to JohnGrimsmo (at) Gmail.com. Eta for those is July 2013, the list is almost full already!
