    Might have effed up?

    Due to not having complete confidence that these weren't ruined they went through full heat treat again.

    Might have effed up?

    I agree that toaster oven isn't the way to go. The temp swings are the exact reason I run it off a pid box. I have found that if I start the oven with knives in it the ramp is slow and temp holds within 3 once it gets there.

    Might have effed up?

    So after quenching at midnight I fell asleep on the couch and left my blades in the temper oven for 8 hours. Should I requench or will blades be ok?

    Friction folder build

    I know I'm a little late to this party but I'm looking to make my first folder for my mom who collects them. This was a great write up with a ton of little tips. Thank you.

    #3 finally done.

    I thank all of you for your kind words and responses. I'm new and not sure how I feel about friends trying to support me by over paying.

    I sent a text that stated they had over paid with no response. Was planning on getting new belts with overage. Just not sure that the product met the merits of the payment.

    Ok I have a question now. I made this knife for another person for the cost of materials. Came up with a final price and told them. They gave me cash in an envelope after being told if there are any defects that I would redo the work free of charge. Upon opening the envelope later I see that...

    Unfortunately I never had a chance to speak to Von Gruff. All the interactions I had with him were on the design critique page

    I used black micarta pins but am wishing I had gone with hidden pins in retrospect

    Before I take any credit I must thank Mr. Von Gruff for the time involved in helping me take this from rough concept to finished design. Details: 80CRV2 Black and white canvas micarta Red G10 liner Black canvas micarta pins. I can see many defects in this blade and handle work but could not...

    Thank you for the kind words on the design. Sent to customer the exact same picture I posted here and he liked what he saw. This wedge was just drawn in to see how it would be visually I just wasn't sold on it. Thinking of giving this blade a slight distal taper just to reduce the weight out front.

    Top is what I hope to be the final redesign. Bottom is the original design I was sent. I feel that I have completely missed the aesthetic that my customer was going for. Talked to the guy again today for clarification on what he wanted. Turns out he was going for a fighting/hunting blade

    Guy is a competition precision rifle shooter and firearm manufacturer. Told me if I could make him a quality knife he would make sure as many eyes see it as possible. So it's more of a "tacticool" show piece.
