Quote HistoryQuoted: Happy Late Birthday. That Harbinger is Bad Ass! DBAR  I need to make myself a companion blade for the Harbinger XL, something I can skin and do fine work with. I was thinking a 5to5 in 1/8" but I'm not sure now, I want to piggyback it on the Harbinger XL sheath.

Here's a before and after of a blade I made for Mrs. Godrilla. Clay HT 5160. A defined hamon is not impossible with 5160, they are just not easy.  The first picture is after HT and tempering with a little clean up.     |

I got to beat up on my Grit 55 today. No batoning, but lots of chopping and tip strength testing. My hamon is almost gone, but she's just getting prettier.
The baby striker works astonishingly well for breaking off dead bark. |

Thought I'd share a few pictures of the Cerberus I just received from Fallen Oak Forge.
This thing is a wonder to hold. Very hefty, sturdy feeling blade. These blades are the kind of workmanship you can pass down through your family for generations.     |

Just placed an order with Ben for my first fixed blade EDC. I went with a Bullnose Skinner with Bully mod.
My wife is getting this for me for my Birthday! Going to be a long 6-8 weeks, but I feel like it is going to be well worth it. Thanks again Ben. |

This might be a stupid question,but did you make a knife for the upcoming FX Fargo TV series? In a promo Billy Bob Thornton's character is using a knife that looks a hell of a lot like your Relic.

I haven't used any of my other fixed blades since ai got my Grit 55. It's on it's second patina and I listed my Spartan for sale since I can't do it justice.
Ben, do you happen to know how etching solution would work on 5160? I used mustard but know etchant is a bit deeper. Just never tried it on carbon steel before. |
