Very nice. I especially like the hunter butcher.

Interested in the replies here also. I love the powder coat company’s like ESEE does on their knives and would be interested into looking into it for some of mine.

Didn’t realize this was a old thread till just now but anyway that’s my resolutions for the coming year...

1) keep improving quality of my fit and finish. 2) keep improving my leatherwork 3) learn to do hamons 4) start learning to forge (so far I’ve just been a stock removal maker) 5) learn how to do engraving and wire inlays-in wood and metal 6) do more tapered tangs 7) get more precise with my heat...

I’ve used these dura-blocks before in the last machine shop I worked in. I really liked using them on the aluminum parts we were polishing and assume I would also like them for knives...

I also buy from Pops a lot. Cheapest prices I’ve found on economy belts and great service also.

That is beautiful man! Very nice work.

Well I certainly am no one to debate with J Fisher, but I wouldn’t think you could ruin the heat treat on any knife unless it got too hot. Regardless of what you used. The heat is what would ruin the temper.

Finally got home from and decided to take some pics of mine. Ok. I still establish my edge with a 400 grit belt and then mainly just use this to touch up and get nice and sharp. I do have a nice diamond stone that I can get blades really sharp on but this is just soo fast... Silicon carbide...

What is yalls opinion of this product? I bought one and while it does get knives really sharp, really fast, I’m just curious to see if there is any downsides I should be aware of. Sorry I don’t have any pics but this sharpening system is the paper wheels that go on a buffer. Silicon carbide grit...

Yes, please WIP it :D!

Argghh! Now I’m wishing I had went ahead and signed up to do the kith lol! Y’alls knives all look awesome! Haven’t got any shop time all summer and fall cause I’m still working on getting the shop finished. She’s almost done...

Very nice. Looks really similar to the cobra weave that I’ve done with Paracord before.

i would say I make knives because I’ve got the genes of a craftsmen and I wouldn’t be satisfied not doing and making something. It is my creative outlet. I made my first one because I was tired of China made junk that broke or didn’t hold an edge. Since I couldn’t afford one, I decided to make...

Thanks man. I appreciate it!

Wow! That is gorgeous sir!

Wow dude that’s so unusual that it’s actually pretty cool.

Thanks a lot Ted! Actually that’s how Ive ground for a long time and I’ve got to do something safer. I tried the paper masks and they fogged up my safety glasses really bad. I do have a dust collector right under the belt but it definitely doesn’t catch it all. I haven’t made any blade since...

I do the finish like that with a cheap ole 3lb sledge that I roughly checkered on one face with a cutoff wheel on a angle grinder.

Thank y’all so much for the kind words. Coming from other knifemakers especially means a lot!
