Australian Blade Ed 3 Dec 2017

"Probably the most common steel I use is ATS34,
CPM154 and 154CM. I've found these three to have
great machining quality but most of all good edge
retention. I'm now predominantly running with
CPM154. I find this steel very nice to hand finish
and will produce a stunning mirror finish. My knives
are all professionally heat treated by Hill’s in
Melbourne to around 59-60rc plus a cryo treatment."
"I must admit, I do love a nice piece of burl
wood! I'm a true believer the knife has to
be just as beautiful to the eye as in the
hand. Over the years I mainly used
Honduran Rosewood, Arizona Ironwood
and many others but think if I had my pick
the Rosewood is most spectacular."
"I’ve always had inspiration by makers like Peter Bald, Rob Brown, Bob Loveless, Thys Meades, and Peter
Del Raso, purely through their pride in fit and finish and attention to detail. Fit and finish is something I
pride myself on I like to have that attention to detail and have always try to challenge that on every knife
with passion and pride."
