A couple of new blades

[Johnnyboy1971]

The handled one is 3.5mm O1 and the other is 52100 not checked thickness of this but seem to recall it being 5.2mm.

The un handled one isn't on the site as it was a special AFAIR.

G10 rather than micarta. I love micarta but the fibres allow it to soak up moisture and dirt.

I'd go with some more of that coarse peel ply that's already fitted. Might need to go slightly less coarse on the peel ply on a chopper though.

i know, it was just a point of contact really. It's best to talk to Dunc and get advice etc.

Thank you for the link. I do have it and I have been buying blades from Duncan for three years now. I know he's busy that's why I asked here since it is easier to post a quick reply.

I can't find the peel ply in big enough sizes.
Wouldn't take much to knock the coarseness of it.

You could try either Dunc, who buys large sheets, or GPS Agencies. Phone and ask GPS Agencies though cos Matt never updates the website

I'm just waiting for a reply from a guy who makes micarta to order.

What is the steel on those babies ? FGYT, do you have any more of these ? Is this a one of a kind ?

well 4/ 10

the small one is 4.5mm RWL34 stainless one of 2 blanks I had hand made back at the beginning of the DSP design. so now he has a full set of small med and large DSP's just the XL (long) to get now

the large one is 5.8mm 52100 and was the second blade I cut as a custom version of the Nessy I usually have a seconds cut if on doing a custom incase of problems in finishing and as a ref later this one wasn't supposed to see the light of day But Jonnyboy has been on about my Nessmuk's for a few years now so felt after all the perseverance he deserved this special one tho i may use the blade size it wont ever be on the handle profile again (fits nicely on my Mil bushy Handle shape tho )

peel ply wound be suitable as its flat for the texture so would get sanded off in shaping and would rip your hands up if you left it on flat you could stack it on some 1/4" OG g10 for the thickness
