New custom knife for a relative Login/Join

posted September 24, 2023 02:04 PM
Just wanted share photos of a knife we had made for my father in law. The maker is local, details below:

Stuart Davenport
4.5" Cibolo Creek Hunter
80CrV2 steel/ hardness= +/-63HRC/ 12° edge
Arizona Ironwood handle

I won't pretend to know all the processes he explained on the blade tempering. It is thin, very hard and a razor. He said he prefers to make blades for slicing, not cutting through car hoods. Here's a few shots, he's on bladeforums if you're interested.

Very nice.
What does he charge for a knife like that?

Very nice. I have and carry a Bark River that is very similar to that but a bit smaller.

I love the Ironwood on the handle.

That is a wonderful gift, I see a lot of Stuart's work on Blade Forums. He does some really classy Chef and Paring knives, I've been tempted.
