I hope his forum wasn't cleared out because of the thread I OP'd on kydex, and if it was, that I didn't say anything wrong. Hope to see his forum back up and running soon.

And this is what I've been working on most recently. A batch of Pairings and a Carving, all in 1/16in. D2. From top to bottom: Cocobolo, Bloodwood, Dymondwood, and the one in the group picture is Koa, that didn't make the cut. Most of these were handrubbed, but the Koa and Bloodwood have what I...

A duo of MCs in 440c and green/black micarta. First duo of these that I've handrubbed, made out of 440c, first clip point MC, and used micarta for handles.

Always good to get see your knives in their natural habitat.

Thanks!

I buy general supplies and specialty items from USAKnifemaker, but not belts, steel, pin stock, etc. My steel comes from NJ steel baron and abrasives from TruGrit, because it is cheaper to buy these things in bulk. That shouldn't be offensive.

Thanks everyone! Really helpful. Will be ordering stuff as soon as I can.

Anyone have experience with AEB-L in a larger knife, such as a camp knife? The charts show that it has high toughness, if I remember right, but was wondering what people's experiences with it were.

Alrighty, I think I want to start making a few of my sheaths out of kydex. Been looking through the old threads but still have a few questions. I'm thinking on using .60 and .93 material and chucking up a die set in my drill press. So if I want my eyelets 1/4in. wide, how long do they have to be...

Very nice!

https://knifedogs.com/threads/double-guard-and-framed-handle-rear-bolsters-too.33540/ I found this tutorial by Bruce Bump to be really helpful.

That hurts to look at.

And the most recent one I finished, a custom order frame handle bowie. A ton of work and a ton learned (I hope)! 440c blade, 416ss fittings and Caribou with wood spacers.

A custom order Carving Knife in 440c and some really nice Cocobolo. Really like the way this one came out.

A progression of spring back folders. Still not completely happy with them, but they are getting there. Learned some stuff from our own J. Wilson's youtube channel which will help on the next ones.

440c that I took the live etcher pad to to make that dark, older look and my guess of African Blackwood.

Some recent knives. 440c and Brazilian Rosewood(?).

Thank you! And thanks everyone for the help!
