N690 is an excellent steel

It is very comparable to 440c (one of the best knife steels)
however N690 has lots of cobalt added
this gives superior toughness and better hardenability(hardening is more uniform on a micro scale) and I believe the surface takes a finer polish :)

not sure but I think a few pics were lost in the big crash,

so I'll post a couple of my recent favourites here for your viewing pleasure...

BTW all my knives are sole author,and unique,
I make my own carbon damascus but buy stainless damascus.

I use professional heat treating for stainless and get the best results using sub-zero quenching method.

I also make the skull beads with trits for eyes (as in my current avatar)
these are also all unique.
I have made about 30 so far and not one is the same
I use silver/copper mokume and tri-colour mokume (brass bronze and nickel silver) as well as damascus


thanks for looking, Jason

Very Nice Work keep it up.

Can you/have you made a pair of folded steel scissors or a hatchet?

thanks UberLumens
scissors would be really difficult
they have weird curves to get the scissor action


A hatchet would be cool but they use a lot of steel
I made one last year using stainless and carbonfibre
never took a pic though

Make sure if you get something from gollum to have him insure it. I never received my 250$ package.

cheers supersuby

been a while since I posted here

I get the odd enquiry from this thread.

I haven't been looking to push anything here lately I have been busy making knives and skulls as the word gets out
I have a few loyal customers who also keep me going.


Anyway there are still a few things in my pics above that are still available and I have the odd new item
I can make similar stuff if anyone likes what they see

thats the whole 'custom' part of my work,nothing is ever the same

hope everyone has a good holiday this christmas

cheers Jason

I just had to stop by and say WOW those are some nice looking knives. I especially like the 'oddjob' ones, very unique design, yet very practical looking. I really want to buy from you, but I spent way too much money this Christmas. It looks like I may be visiting the WTS portion of EDCF/CPF soon...

Keep doing what you do, because it is awesome.

ok got a few very amateur pics of my latest work
I must say they look very ordinary in the photos
in reality the colours and feel of these items cannot be conveyed in photos

next is a tiny knife
real stag handles
cryo heat treat 440c blade(nice sharp hollow ground)
liner lock
this is actually really easy to open and close quickly and lock up is great

ministagknifedec.jpg

asking $145 shipped w/w


last and not least an incredible miniature knife

I went all out making this
I wanted to get everything perfect and it worked out great

a stainless twist damascus blade
kept locked up in a rainbow coloured titanium liner lock
surrounded with beautiful black lipped pearl shell and raindrop mokume bolsters
on a knife 3 1/4" oal (blade is 1 1/4") it is still fully assembled with micro screws
no glue at all
the colours are very nice ,cannot be captured with a camera,black pearl really lights up in the sun
mokume has a lovely deep etch and really jumps out aswell

minissdamascusblkpearltimokume.jpg


I'm not really ready to part with it yet as I still am really rapt with it

it opens and closes one handed and it is sharp as and can be used

any how I might be convinced to sell but how many of these are around?


ok paypal is [email protected]
ask for insurance if you want
I am not responsible after items get posted


Thanks for looking
Jason
