John,
Nice job. That certainly is a high polish on that blade. Does the Corian handle mean she can only use it in the kitchen! Bob Sigmon |

Nice Job!
I remember a few years back when mini's were all the rage. You couldn't go to a knife show without seeing tables and tables of mini's. It's nice to see knife makers turn out a mini from time to time. I would not want to see any style come to dominate the knife market (read "fad"). But mini's are a good test of a knife makers skill. Which you have shown in this knife.

Heat Treatment on D2 please...
Dear Mr John Costa
I just saw your nice mini piece and I should say that working on D2 is my other choice than O1 because here in Jakarta, Indonesia, I just find O1 and D2 as mill bar. I need your help on heat trating D2 since I don't have oven, just a charcoal forge. Would you help me on this please.... THX a lot. God Bless You. |

U.C.O.K.
The d-2 that I use is already hardened. The steel is from blades off a plainer used to smooth lumber in a saw mill. If you keep them cool while grinding there is no need to re- heat treat them. You can get some info on this steel at International Knife and Saw Inc. Just do a search and you should find it with no problems. Good to hear from you. Let me know if I can be of any more help. God with you. john costa |

hard grinding D2
Greetings,
I note you said you grind D-2 fully hardened. The last time I tried to even do the finish on heat treated D-2 I almost gave up. I'm amazed at your persistence. Love that fantastic finish.
