21.01.2022 M390 STAINLESS STEEL BÖHLER M390 MICROCLEAN is a martensitic stainless steel produced with powder metallurgy technology. Due to its alloying formulation this steel offers impressive properties that are highly desirable for knifemaking. Properties include:... - Extremely high wear resistance - High corrosion resistance - Excellent grindability - High mirror finish polishability - High toughness - Minimum dimensional changes - Better resistance to vibrations and mechanical shocks We now have this available in bar stock at a very affordable price. So if you're keen jump on the website and have a look! https://www.artisansupplies.com.au//stainless-steels/bohl/ #knifemaking #knife #maker #making #m390 #m390steel #m390steelblade #steelsupply #knifesteelnerds #knifesteel #bladesmith #bladesmithing #steelsupplies

19.01.2022 #Repost @hoffmanblacksmithing Now that’s an idea! We just finished up our new quench tank project which I’m super stoked about. This will save us a lot of time in the heat treating and it eliminates several variables that were previously a potential point of failure in the hardening of an axe. This tank is temperature controlled and agitated for consistent and fast results. The basket will catch the axes. This eliminates us from needing to stand there plunging the axe u...p and down for minutes. We just have to plop it in the basket and the tank will do the rest! Gotta give credit to my employee Joshua for coming up with the idea to use a trolling motor for agitation and thanks to Jason Lonon @jasonlonontoolmaker for donating the tank. #knifemaker #knife #making #axe #heattreating #heattreat #maker #hoffman #blacksmith #blacksmithing #bladesmith

16.01.2022 Hey all! Just a quick video about handle broaches. If you looking for a tool to save you time while making hidden tang knives this is the tool for you. Handle broaches are used to quickly and effecivley remove wood for inside your handle block. I remember when Karim from tharwa first introduced me to this tool and my whole earth was shaken. Handle broaches most commonly are made from saw like blades to rip out wood from inside your tang slot. They can be made from power hack...saw blades or we sell a really snazzy one with a handle aready attached. If you dont have one I highly highly HIGHLY reccomend getting one/ making one. Trust me. Its worth it. Do you have a handle broach?
