Re: Buck Strider 881 mini tanto convex regrind
I knew beforehand that the outcome wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but for me functionality trumps looks every time. Grinding the rough convex form with the diamond file (without apexing) took a few hours in total. Most time was spent shaping & smoothing the blade surfaces on the Foss combinatio...

Buck Strider 881 mini tanto convex regrind
For quite a few years this Buck Strider 881 mini tanto in BG42 steel was gathering dust in a drawer, as to me it was more a knife-like object, literally unable to cut anything. Over the last few weeks i changed that with the help of my Tormek SB-250 stone (for the point area), a 300 grit diamond fil...

Re: 2 Swedish Air Force survival knives
Both Pontus Holmberg knives are made from iron ore from the Dannemora mine, which resulted in very pure steel due to it being rich in manganese. In earlier centuries it was known as "oregrounds iron": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregrounds_iron However i don't know if that name was still being use...

Re: 2 Swedish Air Force survival knives
The second knife is a bit worse, also due to the handle's leather midsection which had rotted over time together with a pommel stuck in place. https://i.ibb.co/ZLf6QVw/GEDC3616.jpg https://i.ibb.co/89HCKJt/GEDC3617.jpg https://i.ibb.co/1XV4jJV/GEDC3618.jpg https://i.ibb.co/z8gXmNv/GEDC3619.jpg https...

Blade hand reground to it's original full convex blade shape on a Foss 7205 black/green silicon carbide stone used with oil, then refined on 400 grit and 1000 grit SiC wet & dry paper used with oil on glass, and the tiny burr stropped off on hard cardboard with 1.0 micron diamond paste. The new apex...

Re: Antique Joseph Rodgers dagger
A Joseph Rodgers knife using the words "their majesties" on it's blade means that it was made somewhere between 1840 and 1901. Two options: - Cutlers to their majesties 1840 - 1861 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha until the Prince's death in 1861. - Cutlers to their majestie...
