Hi I am new into the folder making department. Could I ask what thickness blade and liners you used? Very nice finish and design.

Hi. I have Hirschkleber glue I was intending to use on the sheaths. The instructions are in German. Any ideas on the process for applying this glue.

Nice finish on the Oze handles. How did you finish the wood?

thanks all

Hello all. I have a project that must bond metal extremely strongly to carbon fiber/nylon composite and withstand 2000 rpm of spinning stress. I would be grateful of any input from those who know.

Gudday mate. I am no expert but this is what works for me. I only us 1/4 and 1/8 inch pins. So you only need two size drill bis and remers of same size. Drill your holes and ream. The reamer gives a more precise sized hole. Measure your pins with a digital calipper. Check they are correct size...

Fantastic information. Just what I needed.

Thankyou for comments. What happens if you use the metal blade for cutting wood? Is 'bimetal' designed for wood and metal? Why is a custom blade better?

Hi guys. Wondering if I can buy a bandsaw for cutting metal and wood scales? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Cheers.

That is simple and elegant. Sometimes we try to bring too many different elements into the one knife. Very special job. Question: What is the process to put a shield into the handle? Always been reluctant to try.

Hi. Here are some of the problem ones. Any advice is appreciated.

I was thinking along those lines. Parts are quite good and other could become a bit experimental. If it is in resin it should be ok too. Another skill to learn. Who ever said knife making isn't a challenge. Thankyou again Ed for you input.

Hi. Just acquired some small pieces of mammoth. I guess it is really mammoth ivory bark. Some is in poorer condition and looks dry. Any suggestions on stabilization or treatment?

very nice work.

very impressive

Gudday from DownUnder in Oze. Good knife making I am sure you will get addicted like all the rest of us.

Opaul, your knives are quality and would be worth every cent of that price. The reluctance to accept the price is usually in the head of the seller not the buyer. Ed is on the money with his advice. Work out a price you are happy to make them for and get a signed contract and 50% of the money. I...

I would like to start making sheaths and wasn't sure where to start with a machine. If I live to be 250 years old, I might get to the bottom of my 'to do' list. Cheers. Scrimshaw!

Thankyou very much. Very helpful. A couple more items for my shopping list. Who would have though you 'needed' so many things just to make a knife! Better do some work that I actually get paid for now. Cheers.
