Very nice! What is the middle handle material, some sort of stone laminate?

Two new backspring folders, one an EDC-0 pattern in Elk round from Chris Crawford, and the other a Lanny's Clip of a different design than previous in Black Canvas.

That is really cool...

That is smart to not let an imperfect logo'd knife out the door, and obviously you are under no obligation to your friend to do this, but if you wanted to you could grind out the logo? Or maybe I'm missing something here.

Thanks all for the advice. I will be putting it to use.

I totally understand, and have many knives that aren't "sellers" because they were weeded out due to differing reasons. My main point was for knives that you are happy with, good knives with no detrimental flaws. For instance, this knife who doesn't have much of a finger stop, but is otherwise a...

I like being honest about my work, but sometimes feel like I harp on what I did wrong more than what I did right, even if it is a very nice knife. What do you point out about a knife you are selling? Scratches, gaps in fitups, thick grinds? Obviously, these things are undesirable, and I won't...

Nice! Please tell us how you like it when you have tried it out.

Lanny's Clip in OD micarta and hollow ground AEB-L. It was an overcast, very light sprinkly day, so I was able to do pictures without a lightbox. I prefer overcast days over 30min to sunset, it's like a natural lightbox.

Two large kitchen slicers, 12in OAL, Natural Maple burl finished with Truoil and Black Micarta, both in AEB-L.

Wow! That is beautiful.

Thank you, that is what I needed to know!

So when you accidentally touch the etching pad to the other live clip and it sparks, do you needto replace a fuse or anything? I don't know anything about electronics, but I figured the sparks couldn't be good for the machine and whether I need to reset something?

And a kitchen knife. 8in OAL. Very thin. AEB-L handrubbed to 600, pernambuco wood, rounded octagonal shaped handle. I've taken the bear out of these last few makers marks. Trying to decide whether to leave it or not. Which do you think looks better?

This is a knife I finished today for my brother. He thinks it looks like a canoe closed, I agree with him. Nat. Micarta and machine finished AEB-L. I think I'll really like AEB-L, especially once I run it just a teeny bit harder for these small guys. 6in. OAL.These close up pictures show all the...

This is a slipjoint I just finished which I really like. It's a bit heavy because of the brass handles, but I like it. AEB-L, handrubbed. I was originally going to leave the brass satin stroked vertically, but decided that since brass scratches so easily, I would throw it in the tumbler. I...

No cheating. Sorry! :) Are you using quality sandpaper with a hard backer? That makes a ton of difference.

You don't need anything fancy. I use regular gravel in a rock tumbler I already have and it turns out well. Although I guess if you were looking for consistency you might try tumbling media.

These are all beautiful. Do you draw up the patterns yourself or do you get them from somewhere?

GLWS, very nice knives! If you have a knife worth more than 1k, however, I would personally send it to somewhere like Arizona Custom Knives where they can take professional photos and have a large market base.
