Welcome! Great knives! What steel grade do you use and how do you cut them out?
 
Thanks guys,
The blades i posted are all 80CRV2 I used AutoCad to draw them out and a local waterjet place to cut them out. I like waterjet because i cant afford to do many projects and with waterjet i can get maximum yield out of each piece.
 
Its alot like 5160 but a little tougher. I usually buy my steel from new jersey steel baron, they sell larger slabs and im close enough to the border that i can pick it up from a warehouse instead of paying for shipping here. I dont heat treat it myself i use a local place for the smaller stuff, the sword was treated by James Helm he actually won forged in fire.
