This has turned into "Midwest Metal Madness" it's gonna be huge! Feel free to use the name, it fits.

I use platen for the 60 grit roughing and follow with 120, then jump over to the variable speed reversible disc grinder for 220, 400, 600 ,800 grit before HT. After HT, back to 600 then 800 with disc grinder, finish off by hand up from 1000, 1200 and finally 1500. Then its Miller time...

i'd drag his sorry wimperin butt there just to see that, I would even go so far as to bribe his wife, but I think she does that to see him go! At least that's the story on the street anyway.

Looking forward to this, glad to be participating as well. I suggest anybody attending this to post it on their website to help bring awareness. This will be the best Knifemaking event in the Midwest if everybody puts forth a little effort to help advertise it. Peter

Here is the latest, San Mai Damascus blade and back bar, Zirconium frame with Mokume and zirc inlays. Zirconium pocket clip and titanium hardware. My son Cory did the photo and said the Damascus looks like a lava lamp, so that's what I call it. Thanks for taking a look, Peter

Amazing .....knife and photo are top notch.

Outstanding craftsmanship, Don's work is truly amazing.

I've been very busy and I know I haven't posted in a while so here are a few of the latest creations. First, second and third are designs by Faisal Yamin, last one is my QSB design. Various materials and finishes making each its own individual knife, thanks for taking a look and I wish everybody...

Thanks Erik, that made me laugh! Peter

Its not the years.....its the mileage! Thanks guys, I was looking thru pictures last night and had seen one from a year ago, where did all the white hair come from (what little I have left)? Looking forward to a few more trips around the sun before they take me away kicking and screamin! Peter

I'm in for the fun! Peter

Just a quick reminder there is a knife show this weekend, October 9 & 10 in Janesville WI at the Holiday Inn Express. 80+ tables of custom, factory, historical and collectable knives. Door fee is $5 or $8 for the 2 days, hope to see you there. Peter

I'm really late for this party, but the show was awesome! I have never seen that many super star makers and their amazing knives in one place in my life. Truly an epic experience and I can't wait until next year! It was a well ran affair, well attended and I know a lot of makers sold knives. I...

This is an outstanding "first folder", I wish my first was half as good. I know I enphesized high quality and it was a pleasure to have you see it thru to the end. This is an excellent knife, all the way around. Beautiful picture is icing on the cake, nice job. Peter

WOW! I haven't seen all the photos in one place, those are awesome, very proud of my son the photographer, nice job! Peter

The show was great for a "first time" event, good crowd and some uber talent in the room. there was plenty of really nice knives for sale and everybody, table holders and attendees alike, seemed to be pleased with the show. I am sure there can be some improvements to this or that, but overall I...

Thank you, doing the show was hoot and a half. The bottom line for this TV series is to expand the number viewers into an otherwise unknown area of craftsmanship/artists and the pieces they create. The number of folks watching is increasing by leaps and bounds every week, and if the numbers...

Here is the latest off the bench, QSB S35V blade, Zircu-Ti bolsters and clip, carbon fiber scales. Its been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd share this beauty before it heads off to its new home. Hopefully the owner will like it as much as I do, thanks for taking a look. Peter

Well said, it is a show about hand made knives, being made in a competition environment, with chopping and cutting challenges designed to eliminate contestants to produce a final winner on TV. Its going to bring awareness to a community that surely needs it, how can that be a bad thing? Peter

I was watching Texas Rising and saw a commercial for the "Forged in Fire" series. It will air June 22nd at 10PM, looks very cool from what I can tell. Real knives being made in a forge/shop setting. Pretty awesome. Peter
