small blackened recurve

Small recurve with a 3.25" blade and an OAL of 7". Unsharpened upper swedge and black paracord weaved handle.

 

Very Nice.... what do you use to blacken? What kind of steel?

 

After finishing the knife, I give it a black oxide bath, then seal it. The steel is O1.

 

Your work is very impressive Mark! You seem to have the patience that I never did to really finish them off that early in making them. Patience is a great thing to have as a knifemaker - wish I could buy some!

 

Mark?


You are going to force me in to taking that 2nd job...and I don't like the one I have!

Between you, Valkman, and BUO....? Well.....

Yeah.


Nice work!

 

Oh yea, CRC, I'm working on this small Damascus blade right now....

 

hmmmm....


WHY do y'all keep doing this to me??

 

If that's the plan....



It's working....
