Cal, Did you forget how to make folders? As usual you always do a nice job! Last week I had gone to the feed store to get a refund on some Herd Builder powdered milk that I did not need. I've been in the need for a good mole trapping shovel so I went over to the shovel department and found the...

Tracy, Gib use to hang out at the Outpost in the early 2000's which is part of knifenetwork forums now. Seem to recall seeing some of your knife work posted over there years ago in the display case. The one thing that bugs me about this knife the fellow was asking about is the hollow grind. I...

http://bladegallery.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=342 Gib was a good friend of mine. He passed at least 10 years ago. He and Chuck Burrows did a lot of work together plus Chuck got all of Gib's blades after he passed. Chuck just passed a year or so ago. Both died from cancer.

If you go to my website I have a couple threads on hand forging that might be helpful to you.

If both these tools are high carbon steel you could forge a usable blade out of them. Are a you talking about hand forging? The 1/2" x 5" could turn into 1" x 8" x 1/4". Learning to hand forge takes sometime to learn.

I ran across this site last week after I had a question about reconcillation. I feel this site to be a great tool for believers: https://www.gotquestions.org

Ben, May see you in Eugene. Are you the name'er of your knives? Deadly looking knife.

As much as I enjoyed working on this knife and sheath I'm going to put the knife making on hold. Going to see about getting the hand and wrist operated on in mid May. See what happens....

I've used Fiebings leather dye in the walnut color for several years now. I had better luck with the oil dye which I think they call Pro Dye now. On this piece of antler I just applied it and let it soak in for a few minutes and then wiped it off. I also sealed it. One thing I have found out...

Doug, Yes the handle was dyed. Here's a photo of what the knife looked like after I had the parts on the knife. Calvin, Thanks for the kind words, I feel the same about you and your work. Thanks for the comments! Not sure if I will be making much of anything now until I get the hand and...

According to some, I am not old. Not sure what I am doing here but here goes. Do to several joint problems in my favorite arm, hand, and wrist my knife making has pretty much stopped. Around 3 weeks ago I got a call from a fellow in Little Rock that had received one of my knives as a gift from a...

Both are very attractive knives but I prefer the one with the giraffe bone handle. I would have never guessed it to be giraffe bone. Never been real crazy about san mai. I'm more of a mono steel person...
