We have a knife in the kitchen my wife loves and a friend of ours saw it and commented she would like one similar to it. Her and her husband have become friends of ours and a great support for us out here so I'd like to make it for them for nothing. But I've been kind of stuck on a design and...

Very nice knife/sheath combo. Sasquatch pin is original. Looks good!

I had never heard of a head knife. I searched it up and I got the search results "quarter" knife and "round" knife...similar to an ulu, but with a straight handle, and prodominately used for push cutting. It gives me some new ideas for a push cutting knife profile I've been stuck on.

Beautiful blade! Not sure if it's just the lighting, but I like the more subtle contrast in the hamon line.

That sound really good. I know what you mean about unknown temps. I often wonder if I should have started with an electric oven as a beginner. After reading on the forums it does not seem as expensive as I originally thought to run one. I would have to go 120v without getting in an...

Yeah, i get that a lot, too. That’s why i was worried about my vfd and my electric motors at first. I'm not too worried about the controller anymore, its lasted a few interior winters. But when we warm up (from bitter cold to around 0) i do run my motors hoping that will clear any condensation...

I checked the weather this afternoon. It looked like everything east of the rockies was covered.

I appreciate you showing how you do metal bolsters. I want to use stone and lately the wheels have been turning on how I’m going to build and install it between bolsters. But I need to learn how to make pins disappear first. Thanks for the detailed steps.

I don’t remember. I don’t live near stores so i snagged it off something and saved it for later. It’s a dee ring and you can get them anywhere. I do have a Tandy catalog that has lots of different sizes and either copper, nickel plate i believe and brass- and some antiqued, which are nicer imo.

Finished up three for Christmas gifts. Whew, even though i enjoyed making them, I’m glad to be done.

Great photo

Is it a really clean solder joint?...or maybe the silver line on the guard is a reflection off the blade.

For some reason i can’t edit my posts. As an afterthought you can also deflect the heat somehow from it being concentrated on one part of the ceiling with either a peice of metal or kaowool or both. Those are probably better choices than only sheetrock. And if its just metal keep it from being...

Beutiful knife. i really like the pattern and color of the ivory.

And besides carbon monoxide they say not to stick anything galvanized in there.

I don’t think the height is a problem. At least not right away. You’d have time to run it and watch it for awhile.

You snuck that one in! Nice animal. I like the tenderloins too. I hide them from my wife so they don’t end up either in the grinder or as jerky. I agree with steve about your hunting and avatar pictures. I thought that was a guy you ran into out hunting. Lol. Took me a minute. I’m following...

I agree on the micarta. Almost got some the other day, but not spending any more money on handle material for a while.

I never thought about how similar those two blade types are. Both beautiful. I'm sure the groom was extremely pleased. OP, nice finish.
