It is the citrus season and what a good time to tout the attributes of a "no rust" blade. Shown are a bunch Satsuma with a modified Salt 1 nested comfortably. BY THE WAY THE STONEWASHED BLADE HOLDS UP GREAT! :

Thank you! Lots of fun doing it! I like the D3 type handle very much.

manixworld - 1. Marked the profile i wanted with a Sharpie and ground away metal till it was right(belt grinder w/various grits would help, but not necessary). Dip in water time to time as you are grinding(don' loose temper).
2. Stonewashed - This will take some investment. Harbor Freight has what you need, though.(A Vibrator/Tumbler and pyramid medium)

Satsuma - small orange, looks like a Tangerine, much grown in this area(grew them myself). And there times when I wish I didn't live so close to salt water(hurricane).

I thought that H1 wasn't tempered. I was under the impression that it was cold-rolled.

How did you remove the fixed rivet to put in an adjustable pin? Also what size is the screw you used? and was it easy to find. I must make this modification!
