Serratas reduced to 210 pounds.

Just for observation's sake...

Cast 316 stainless cuts better than you would think...

Edge holding is rubbish, but it appears that there are 'little teeth" present...

Love seeing the process and build up to final manufacture. Getting quite excited about the finished product already

I had one once, but I found the handle a little thin and sold it when needing money.

These are evil. They aren't the smooth carving thingies most are used to; they are toothy cutters that chew through things and I wish I could afford to get one.

If you're on the fence, climb down. Get one.

Dougster...most of my previous Serratas had 6mm scales, but this lot will be mostly thicker...9mm before shaping.

Are you going to be seeking deposits for reservations?

 

[zackerty]

Double post

 

[zackerty]

I never take deposits. I have sold off a lot of personal stuff and borrowed large to fund this...

I make 'em, and if they like 'em, they buy 'em...

A list can be dicey, but I am a risk taker...

How rubbish is rubbish?

Cut 5mm cardboard for maybe 5 cuts and then it rips the cardboard.
Sure, you could bludgeon or baton it through material, but there is no fun in that.

Enough of this temptation- while I can’t make up my mind on handle material as the G10 or a modern laminated/stabilised wood .... the manufacturing process for the blade has me - so put me down on the list and we’ll chat handle materials later.

Within 3 hours, the new batch will be cooling.

 

[zackerty]

All successfully cast...
...and 3pm my time today, I will check 'em out.

Phenomenal success rate...

Now to grind till the cows come home covered in steel dust and abrasive mist...

Excellent news.

Going to be honest .....

Each time I look at the Photos in this thread I have flashbacks to the scene where Dr Frankenstein is giving life to his Monster......;0
