Re: Hand made shell puller
Why do you use 1084 for the blade? Is there any benefit over 1095 for blades?
And how do you do the C12/16 on the pullers? Do you stamp those?

Re: Hand made shell puller
1084 is easier to heat treat for blades than 1095. At least with my setup.
I stamp the pullers. Sometimes I engrave them.

Re: Hand made shell puller
As always, amazing work. How / where was the blade forged?

Re: Hand made shell puller
Blade was made by stock removal (grinding)-not forging.
I take a piece of steel and grind away everything that doesn't look like a knife blade.
Blade is hollow ground.

Re: Hand made shell puller
How does 1080 compare to 1080? I got some 1080 on accident recently and it wasn't too hard to work with but drilling holes and stamping it was very difficult.
Also, what exactly does "hollow ground" mean?

Re: Hand made shell puller
You mean 1084? It works very easily, as should 1080.
Drilling requires sharp bits and good pressure, or you will heat the steel and spot harden it.
Hollow ground means ground on a wheel, leaving a concave surface.

Re: Hand made shell puller
I am talking about 1080. They were out of 1/8" 1095 so I got 1080. It is definitely not the drill bits I was using or anything. The 2mm holes were tough but When I tried to put a 1.5mm hole in the rocker, I burnt out so many bits that I had to take out my carbide bits. Filling it didn't seem any harder than 1095 but drilling it was a nightmare. And stamping it was virtually impossible too. The stamp just kind of skated around when I tried hammering it.

There should not be much working difference. Did you try annealing it before drilling?
Drilling can heat the spot and harden it right under the bit.

Re: Hand made shell puller
Filing, sanding and treating the 1080 was just like 1095. But drilling, sawing and stamping was really hard.
It was this stuff:

I just noticed they talk about using it to make Damascus. I also noticed that while the surface looking just like 1095, the cross section after being sawed was much shinier than 1095. That is 1095 on the left and 1080 on the right.

Re: Hand made shell puller
The 1080-1084 series steels can be more effectively heat treated (for blades) without expensive heat treat ovens.
1095 can not be optimally heat treated for blades without an oven.
