Could you explain me the process you used? Which is the geometry of the blades? I think they are very beautifull. You grinded the steel by yourself?

Hiding important information in my comments! Mwaaa-Haa-Haa-Ha. <a href="http://czeckedge.com/" rel="nofollow">Bob Zajicek</a> was the blade blank source. He offered a very nice price since they were being discontinued. I put a bevel on them and then used <a href="http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/productdetail.aspx?p=1072" rel="nofollow">Oxpho Blue</a> to put a wear and weather resistant surface on it. After treating it, steel wool doesn't scratch the finish. It puts a really nice hard surface on the steel. I really like the dark look to the blade. :) Then I treated it with <a href="http://www.wisementrading.com/hunting/ballistol.htm" rel="nofollow">Ballistol</a> to add even more rust resistance. Grinding these and keeping temper was way too much work. In the future, I will make them with tool steel still annealed and then temper them myself. Much less work this way.
