Cut testing, 7/16 manilla latest batch

Stopped @ 185, got a tiny abrasion from no handle but was still snapping rope off like when I started. May tape it up and continue.

Yes I do my own HT.

This is just a small knife ht'd at the same time as the CKTG batch with same edge geometry for testing.

Also I make each piece one at a time, all processes in house and you ever desire a certain whatever, let me know and I'll work with you. I'm new to your forum but Definitely not new to bladesmithing. I use computer controlled ovens, engineered quench oils etc, if it doesn't pass muster it never leaves this building.
