HOLY SEXY!

[RYDERkN]

thas hot

[JadeiteGracie]

That is beautiful.

[WesMerc]

who do you use for heat treating?

[RDPproject]

@WesMerc

An australian company. I can give you their name...but there are tons of them in the usa so it would be cheaper for you to have it done over there.

[Wyndstarthedruid]

man this is SO cool!, can you tell me where you got it from?

[RDPproject]

@Wyndstarthedruid

You havnt bothered to watch the other parts have you?

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@RDPproject i did afterwords.....just figured you could send me a simple message, no biggie.

[RDPproject]

@Wyndstarthedruid

Sorry...but its my knife. I made this.....

I thought it would be self evident in the videos.

[Wyndstarthedruid]

@RDPproject not in part 4 no, do you want to sell one or do you just want to be a condescending ass? nice.

[RDPproject]

@Wyndstarthedruid

No offence to you mate. But I get stupid questions almost every week from people who dont read the text or bother to watch the entire series of parts. The bets thing to do is not watch a part in the middle, but start from the beginning. Sorry if I pissed you off...but honestly...it pisses me off when others dont bother to check things beofr asking questions.

[RDPproject]

I have even had people ask me "where can I get one of them?" when watching my videos on my Katanas....If they are smart enough to use the net and find videos on YT, then they are smart enough to find a store near them where they can buy teh product themselves...but no. They want me to do all the work FOR them.

Again...sorry if I pissed you off.

Rob.

@Wyndstarthedruid

The knife was a custom job for a collector. I can make more but it wont be with an Antler handle as I hate working with thst stuff. It stinks the house out for days. New designs would be with a nornal handle.

[fatdan172501]

if you brought the design all the way down to the edge like flint is. you would probably get a serrated affect. nice job man. do you sell these.

[RDPproject]

@fatdan172501

My original design is like that.

But for a useful knife you need a straight cutting edge. With the design making its way down to the edge...it will still cut. But to sharpen it you need to use a small round or half-round file. That will do it...but it will take you a couple of hours as you need to do each individual groove.

Yes I do sell these.

[fatdan172501]

@RDPproject ya i was thinking that after i posted much more pleasing to the eye but not practical maintenance or use. how much do these run and do you do customer designs.

[RDPproject]

@fatdan172501

PM coming your way.

[edwyrd]

Oh my god, That is great........ How did i ever miss your channel. remedied now. subscribed.

[RDPproject]

@edwyrd

LOL...thanks mate.

[MonsieurFromLondon]

Nice one Rob, What a shame that you'll have to go through all the polishing after the heat treat :)

Looking forward to seeing the end product

[RDPproject]

@MonsieurFromLondon

LOL...thats what buffing wheels are for....

I just did this to show the customer what its going to look like.

Rob.

[RDPproject]

@MonsieurFromLondon

I forgot to mention...when the blades come back form heat treatment...they are already clean.

[RitchiePowell]

Hey Rob! This is beautiful!! I really love seeing you make things to an existing!

[RDPproject]

@RitchiePowell

Thanks Rich.

Appreciate that mate.

Im going to the post office now to send it off for heat treating.

It should be back in about 2 weeks.

[cesp82]

That is awesome! Really awesome!

[RDPproject]

@cesp82

Thanks mate.

[Mrcaffinebean]

wow nice man!

[Mrcaffinebean]

wow nice man!

[RDPproject]

@Mrcaffinebean

Thanks Jake.

[PinewoodCH]

I don't know how to put 5 stars on that new layout of youtube's but I REALLY like the design that way. I'll answer your mail in a moment.

Great great work!! Can't wait to see the handle. Have you received my mail about the sheath ?

[RDPproject]

@PinewoodCH

You need to click the LIKE button on the left just under the video screen.

Yes...I got the email. Will be replying to your reply next...lol

Glad you like it Matt.

[PinewoodCH]

@RDPproject So, I did it right.... now they've replaced the 5* with a thumbs up thing... I thinks it's what they call progress or evolution ^^

[myactionhobbies]

Looks like a great job. Looking forward to see it finished.

[RDPproject]

@myactionhobbies

You and me both mate.

[Denomolise]

beautiful blade man

[RDPproject]

@Denomolise

Thanks mate.

[elpidi0526]

Man, that looks sweet. Crap Rob, I can't remember for the life of me what kind of steel you said you were using for this...O-1?

Looks fantastic, my man.

[RDPproject]

@elpidi0526

No Matt.

Because of the shape of the blade...(all the curves)

I chose to use 440C. If it was carbon steel, im just concerned that

there could be a moisture build up in the depressions.

With 440C you dont have to worry about that to much I guess.

I will be trying other steels in the future for this particular design.

(Yes..i'll be making more of them)

[faranglaw]

very nice outcome...Is that a makers stamp near tang or is that etching/scribing?

Do you know whats involved in the heat treatment or is it the regular... glow red- cool down fast..? Keen to see handle fitted... keep us posted

[RDPproject]

@faranglaw

Good spot BJ. Yes, its my makers mark. It was stanped into the steel

befor it was polished. I wanted to keep the area flat for the stamp. It would not have worked on the Flint pattern...way to curvy.

I knida know about the ehat treatment...but only the basic's. The company that does it for me do Cryo-heat treatments.

But not for this knife as its 440C..not carbon steel.

The handle fitting will be in part 5 once its returned from heat treatment.
