Yes I do, thank you. I went to the GRS School for a week. This is the 5th or 6th knife I have engraved. I highly suggest the school if anyone is interested in learning to engrave.

Thanks everybody.

Thanks guys

No, with that much surface area a course grit will not be a problem. It could be a problem if you used that course of a belt on the edge. It could knock some chunks out.

I thought I recognized the steel. Yes, 24 grit belts would be good too. With that much surface area you need big rocks to thin the mat'l. Go boldly my friend.

No, you don't want to get those wet. There are three layers there. The pith is the softest. It's the light brown and dark brown material. It will absorb water and swell. Then your scales will start to pop apart. another layer is the dentine. It's light brown and medium in hardness, about the...

Maybe we will get some fancy hamons.

I knew you guys would know. They did act like 5160 when I hardened them. I suspected they were railroad related. Stuff just shows up around here because people know we make things out of stuff. Thanks a lot.

Thanks guys.

Do you know what these are? Any body know what kind of steel it is? As you can see, in this next picture I did a break test on it and it hardened up real hard. See the grain structure?

I teach adults too but I like teaching the kids more. They follow instructions better, and don't come to class with bad habits they need to un-learn.

Those are all mammoth tusks, mammoth teeth, fossil walrus tusks, a mammoth skull and other pleistocene era stuff.

Nice knives, nice pitchers.

Thanks everybody, I enjoy it.

Hi everybody, here are the kids from my latest knife making class with their blades, ages 14 to 18. Everybody had a blast and everybody went home with a blade ready for a handle.

In my opinion, it doesn't interfere with the flow, and doesn't feel funny. The step is so small it feels and looks fine, much better than the sharp edge feels ( if MF is not used) when the natural material shrinks or swells due to changes in humidity. Pinless and take-down construction are also...

I may have already said too much. Some guys in black hoods are liable to throw a bag over my head and stuff me in a van. I will tell you this, they only film one season ahead.
