Thank you. No sir, I send my bolsters to a friend that does the engraving portion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve. Finished a couple folders for Blade Texas but still assembling others and tweaking others for proper acrion

This is a really good idea.

Trag won’t fill your remaining gaps. It’s strictly a slicking agent. You’ll want to buy a some wax and you can rub that area quickly which will heat the wax and fill the voids. After that, go back to about 220 grit then around 500 and slick it again. Should be good to go.

Rule of thumb is you can safely jump by 100 from grit to grit. No point in adding 6 more change outs to the mix.

As others have said… most won’t care and a nicer sheath will add value to the overall presentation. You’ll need to be able to justify about $100-$110 to recover your cost of outsourcing and what have you. I often make sheaths for a handful of makers including for myself and it seems to work well.

Never thought about it. Seems like there would have to be an electrolyte involved but I’ve never heard of or seen an instance of dissimilar metals having a negative impact on the knife.

This was a fun smallish edc I finished in time for father's day: OAL: 7.75" handle: wood/resin with stainless pins blade: 416 layered damascus with hand filed vine along the top price: $290

what about large batches of knives beyond the 10 limit?

Hi Trust. a quick Google search of my own last name and my knives I came across this post you made here over 10 years ago! Ha ha how time flies. Sorry, I didn’t see your note then, but happy to answer any questions if you would like. Feel free to text me at 713-724-1993 or you can reach me...

Wow. Thanks men, super helpful! Really appreciate the feedback friends.

Here are two knives a neighbor brought by and I didn’t have any answers for him. Being the local Knifemaker I get folks swinging by from time to time and see some interesting finds. Any ideas what either of these might be or who made the little folder?

Yes it’s a game changer of the rest is on point

Thank you friend! It sold today and I received visitation rights :)

Yes, indeed, I used epoxy to fill in the gaps and have a blue spacer material there as well. Sometimes I'll try to remove all epoxy so it's an open area around the vine or you can color the epoxy as well and that looks cool for some folks.

This little skinner has great ergonomics for a very comfortable hold. Also nice size for an edc for the future owner. OAL: 6.25" top has a nice false edge Blue pins Blue liners on vine hand filed spine price: $260 Handle is desert ironwood

Hi Bob, I am looking at the Reeder Grinders and saw you have one. Have you come across anything you'd do different looking back? thanks much!

That piece is a great looking piece but I would set it aside and find you a smaller diameter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't point you toward a tutorial but I use the same approach as I do with wood scales. I'm careful to use a new bit for my pin holes and drill slowly. After that you're good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
