Restored these two Western G46-6's which may have been WWII Marine issue knives but suspect they are post-war variants as they lack the blood groove that most issue knives had. One was quite rusted so was sand blasted and the other needed a new pommel which was made of 3/16" D2 and fixed broken...

Looks good Calvin- really like the moose.

Welcome to KD Scott. Sounds like a pretty awesome folder collection. Hope to see some pics of those sometime. Paul

Calvin we know it's a beauty but you still gotta show it to us. Ok just saw your other post- well done- I want to try to make one like that.

Very nice- the design is exceptional and with the file work it really a beauty- great work.

Nice job Wayne! See, the vice didn't turn into a pumpkin or rips in the space time continuum, though I think I heard a dog start barking when I finished my first...:3:

Yea after doing one with the kit I can see where sandblasting prep would be better for bite and flatter sheen. I've got some AO on hand so will try another that way- thanks for the tip.

Bought the Caswell stainless blackening kit and thought would give a report. It comes with a bottle of blackener and a bottle of clear sealer. It applies a lot like cold blue gel, and works even faster. You have to follow the directions :what!: clean off excess with water and applying the...

Welcome to Knifedogs Sph0772. Hope to see some of your work soon and you can add to the collective knife wisdom here.

dmackey what I do to avoid stripping grit off a belt is to grind holding the blade edge down for several passes on each side until you have a contact surface established before going edge up.

Here is a liner lock recently completed with Ti and ATS34:

Here is my tactical bowie made with 1/4" 440C, stacked leather and TI spacers.

Very nice job on that framelock- like it.

FC works on all non-SS carbon steels, and marginally on D2 as it is at 12% chrome. To do a good job with FC submerse the blade in a 2 or 3 parts water 1 part FC solution for half an hour or more then rinse and neutralize, which is a typical damascus treatment to bring out contrast. Get it at...

Hi David, looked at that drive and it is not rated for a 4hp motor...it is for a fractional 1/5hp gearmotor or small pump. If want to run a motor that big you gonna have to get one rated by horsepower of motor like this Leeson...

Vance, I used ferric chloride- was a last minute decision so just put on rubber gloves, put a little on a paper towel, rubbed it down, let it stay on few minutes, then neutralized with windex, then oiled it. Really blackened with one treatment.

Nice one Larry- like the ironwood and the recurve. Any pants yet?

Dennis- glad you like it...thanks for the props....but I didn't take any before pics-should have. You're right though it was pretty rough- covered with rust and gouges and no leather left. The lettering was covered with rust so sandblasted it and it cleaned up good. The pins drove out so that's...

My friend Dennis (Demo) gifted this to me a while back, and finally got around to restoring it (thanks again Dennis). After some research I found out it is a WW2 "shark" knife as it was carried by Naval Aviators. Western made several styles of it but all with the fuller groove. Had to put new...

Nice clean LL hunter- like it. Sheath looks good too.
