Knife making - Long CAMP KNIFE w/ fancy handle

Let us know in the comments what knife we should make next! :D
This time we've made a long camp knife with a nontrivial handle.
We've shown how we fit two piecies of wood together and how to make a wooden bead without a lathe ;)

Blackening the steel:
A mixture of caustic soda (700g), potasium saltpeter (250g) and water (1,2 l)
The temperature of the solution should be kept between 120 - 140 C.
I keep the knife inside for about 30 minutes to get consistent black colour, you can manipulate the time to achieve different results, shorter period should give you dark brown or purple - ish colour.
Be careful - this mixture is highly corrosive!
Heat treatment:
-Austenizing temperature: 830 C
-Tempering: 180 C
Specs:
Cicero
Steel: 80CrV2 5 mm
Length: 290 mm
Blade width: 35 mm
Blade length: 155 mm
Handle: Bog oak, Stabilized wood, brass pins
Weight: 280 g

Please tell us what brand anti scaling compound you use. That stuff looks like it works great.

[@BarbershopCustoms]

Any fine car polishing paste will do the job :) This one is a polish brand and I believe it's available only in Poland

[@shanewismeyer6611]

Beautiful work...as always! I was wondering if you could share the handle material sealing process. I notice you used a 2 part process (some type of oil followed by a paste or cream of some sort). I'm curious as to what you use and how many coats are applied of each.
I typically use Tung oil to finish all my handles...8-12 coats with a steel wool scrub in between coats (takes forever)

[@BarbershopCustoms]

We use linen oil, I don't know how many coats, but we apply it until it doesn't want to soak anymore. The paste is a typical polishing paste, it's used just to give it a final shine ;)

Your micarta looks almost like heavy bond paper. Is it?

[@BrayanLopez-em8ps]

Que producto utilizas para empabonar?

[@albansupiot430]

I have noticed the edge of your blade before quenching is too thin. The final edge is decarburized and not as hard as it should be. Just to say... The edge before quenching should be approx. 1.5 to 2 milimeters at least. Nice work though.

What belt grinder do you use?
And and what do you use to sharpen your knives ?

Thank you, the belt grinder is made by Paweł Pruszyński.
I use diamond plates to create an initial edge and japanese whetstones (#1000 - #3000) for a quality edge.
