    Second Knife Done

    I can't take credit for the blade I bought it online. I am planning to make a forge so I don't have to buy anymore blades but still being in school makes the budget pretty tight (both time and money lol). The backside of the antler is slightly palmated and fits perfectly in the palm of your...

    "Odd How To" Question?

    Diamond blade and water is the best way to go. I used to work in a granite shop and it wouldn't take any time to polish it with the proper tools. If you don't want to go back to the cabinet guy then look for a place that sells headstones they will usually have the same tools to work with...
