I really like it. I’ve had it for several years now and go back to it very often for design tips and patterns to use. I just always make sure to give credit to the author when I use one. I really like some of the Japanese flair Murray incorporates into his blade design.

Japanese Matagi Camp Knife. Pattern was from Murray Carters book, 101 Knife Designs. 1/4” 01 Tool Steel. Canvas Micarta handle. 15” OAL. 9” Blade.

Wow awesome. I’m gonna have to pick up a copy. That’s a lot better price. Idk why amazon is so high but that’s ridiculous.

I love it! I was just telling my wife and showing her pics of D guard blades the other day and talking about making one. The largest blade I’ve done was a Japanese Matagi camp knife that Murray Carter had a pattern for in his book. So this would be a really fun challenge for me. Great work sir...

Good points fellas. Not to mention that I’ve never even seen a tempering cycle on FIF. Maybe I’ve just missed it but I’ve only seen hardening cycles where they keep it outta the oil long enough to make it catch fire which I guess they think is necessary for a cool shot. That does happen to me...

No problemo man. I wasn’t trying to come off like a jerk just making sure you weren’t actually drilling oversized by that much lol :D

Seventh and a half tenths right? .00075? Seven and a half thousandths (.0075) per side would be super loose.

Very nice! Beautiful work sir!

Electronic discharge machining. I’m not super familiar with it but it uses a wire to burn the cut instead of actually cutting it like with an end mill or something. The wire we use at work is .010” thick. There is also a type of edm machining that uses a electrode made of different materials...

Thank ya sir. Not too bad for an amateur I reckon lol.

Got the shop painted. Still gotta finish some trim work around the garage door and the roof and corner trim but she’s coming along nicely! Electrician is supposed to have came this morning to hook up my breaker box to my meter so hopefully when I get home from work, I can start getting my...

Good night to be in the woods! The turkeys and deer were out in full force and I couldn’t pass this feller up. Now I got a chance to do some blade testing o_O!

Nice man. That looks great!

Another one. This one is 3/32” 01 Tool Steel.

Another one of my knives. I haven’t made any knives for a few months cause I’m still finishing up my shop (almost done) but this is one that I made this spring. 3/16 01 Tool Steel, and if I remember correctly, a Padauk wood handle.

That it does. Very nice work sir.

Looks great man! I think I’m getting ready to try a hidden tang knife. I’ve done two that we’re deer antler handled but I want to do one in a nice wood so that I can actually sculpt the handle to shape. Those little contours and palm swells that guys grind into them just look so stinking sweet :D

Very nice work! Well done.

Definitely functional without the dros but man, after using them, I wouldn’t ever wanna go back.... Just my humble opinion...
