Re: Knife Photography
With a little research I can probably pin it down. The tang stamp on the Schrades simply read stainless. If you mean the Bill Simons that might be harder.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 5:39 pm Nicely composed photos.![]()
Jtx, Any idea what type of steel was used?

Thanks for all the comments folks. It gives me an incentive to be as creative as possible under the circumstances.

Re: Knife Photography
I was wondering about the Japanese style knife steel. But no need to spend time on this question unless you are interested as well.

Re: Knife Photography
The Higonokami knives made in Japan usually use a laminated steel. I believe that Tony Wood said he uses a simple carbon steel 1084. Maybe Tony will comment on this.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 1:45 am I was wondering about the Japanese style knife steel.

Re: Knife Photography
That is some great photography with the reflections. I was looking for some new ideas
and I think you have given me one. Thanks.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks. Go for it. I used a large wall mirror. Watch for overhead reflections and side lighting. Have fun.

Re: Knife Photography
Nice photo and subject, Joe. Mexican silver coins have always impressed me, but I never knew of J.D. Ware or this process until researching after your post. It is amazing, to me, how a coin can be split in half and show no ill effects!

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks guys. I always wanted this coin knife by Jeff and finally succeeded last year. This is a true slip Joint with great snap to both blades. In fact, the knife blade has seriously bit me twice. As they say on TV "it will cut.!"
