(picks himself of the floor and dusts off the footprints)
Here the basic specs.
These are 01 tool steel crooked knives, not hook knives. As used for hogging and stripping wood a la Pinnock Smith etc...
The temper can be specified (if you feel you need too) but the forger knows the work the blades will be doing.
The blades are forge black, shaped and just need to be sharpened. The tangs are also drilled for pins at no extra charge.
The curvature is straight with the return over the last 1"-11/2" or so. But you can specify a more aggressive curve if you wish.
Thickness is about 1/8" or about 3.175 mm.
Pricing $10 for basic blade add $10 for a satin finish, add $20 for a mirror finish (apparently takes time to avoid a heat problems with the temper at the edge of the profile)
Pictures are being updated and I will stick them up once they are here.
One caveat: I am buying these sight unseen, I have had some good discussions with maker and he seems cool
but at the price, I could'nt say no. The killer was the postage but with a group buy....happy days
Sounds like everyone is a bit keen then.
