    Once more unto the breach!

    Well I finally got it done! There are a couple of things that need to be improved on for the next build but it feels good to get this one done. Time to clean off the work bench and get started on the next one.

    Once more unto the breach!

    I thought I would post an update pic. It is amazing how many things I was doing correctly unintentionally! Now I am doing them intentionally! It is always humbling (and time consuming) to find out how much you don't know.

    Just got the next folder out of the mind and on to paper! The top drawing is the initial drawing (by GD Clark. Friend and knife making accomplice). The next step was to get it into plexiglass to make sure it would function properly and to also test how it will fit in the hand. After that was...

    Help with Handle

    Some thoughts. I think you need to get the correct 3 degree tapered reamer and peen the pins. You don't need to use epoxy then. Run the reamer in the scales and then when you peen the pins it pushes the scales into the tang. I like to epoxy on hidden tangs but for scales it is always ream and...

    My first custom folder!

    Hi all, Here is my first custom folder worth showing. A big thank you to the knife making community for sharing information and a shout out to Bruce Bump for letting me come by now and then and ask questions. It isn't perfect but it is getting close. Some of the things that I am proud of are...

    I found them on MSC. It is listed as a slitting saw but I have found the terminology can be interchangeable some times (that or I don't know the difference yet :D). This one is "1 3/4 inch" diameter. .025 thick 90 teeth and .5 inch arbor. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/63997225 Saw...
