Caprelous 217 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) But I have just made myself a knife out of mirror scraper steel with a black buffalo handle and although I am producing a decent blade , my leatherwork skills are somewhat shall I say not very good or practically non existant. The other thing is my arse makes a funny sound when i walk its rather tight. Is the anyone out there who is prepared to make me a decent sheath if I give a piccy of the knife and sizes at a cheap rate or I could even provide a gratis stalk in payment for your much needed skills. I told you I was a cheeky cnut but if you dont ask you dont get is my motto Stu Edited November 23, 2011 by Caprelous Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caprelous 217 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have had some stalking knifes over the years but this scraper mirror steels is something else hard as hell and holds an edge like i have never seen before. It appears to be the same steel as used on cut throat razors, once an edge is on it it only needs a quick work over with an old timer schrade. Just need the sheath for it now .

Surely you're not calling time on that Puma White Hunter of yours after all these years? What would old Panshine say?

Caprelous 217 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) What is a mirror scraper steel? M Its very hard german steel Martin containing exceptional high carbon and chromium used in the making of Kruap cut throat razors and in the use of cutting tools on lathes and scrapers in the re boring of and remanufacturing of engines. Exceptionally hard to work an edge on but once an edge has been obtain by careful grinding and quenching on each pass the final edge after working up on a old timer schrade only requires gentle stropping to maintain its cutting edge. Hope this answers your query Stu Edited November 25, 2011 by Caprelous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
