I would say the handle needs to go on a diet and loose some length/reshape the tail end. Trace the handle on paper and make refinements to it, place the blade on it and repeat until it flows. When the wife says it looks good, then your good to go:thumbup1:

Brad, What do you want to trade? But why don’t you just cut them in half and make 8 nice hidden tang knives? Heck it was free. Make a knife for the fellow who gave you the steel and I would bet he would have more for ya:thumbup1:

Well if I was in West Memphis at lunch I would drive across the river and eat at the Commissary. Pulled pork plate sure sounds good right now. But that wouldn’t get you any steel would it ? Sounds like its time for a forge:biggrin:

It’s good that you left the edge thick. It’s bad to have it thin and ruin your blade that you have worked hard on during heat treating. Several ways to do this, 1) Sandpaper and flat piece of steel, such has a file. Rap the paper on the steel and use like a file. 2) Sandpaper and flat...

Heck yea I'm in. That would look really good on a fighter style that I'm working on. Thanks for the chance:35:

Very nice Not only a very pretty set, but it looks very useful too. Someone will be proud to have and use them:thumbup1:

Brad, For making small blocks a table saw is a no-no, especially a contractor or cabinet saw. Way too much can go wrong with a blade that’s 10” and has 50 or 60 teeth spinning at 4,000 rpm and small pieces of wood stuck between it and a fence. I’m not saying it can’t be or hasn’t been or will...

Well at least it didn’t have food stuck to it:biggrin: Sand it out and force a patina if you going to let the family near it.

Well Brad, If we knew what local was maybe someone here could help you out. Might be that someone just a few miles from ya would say " Hey lets meet up. I believe I might just able to help you out." These knife people are funny that way :shush: I know I am.

Dye curly maple with your brown leather dye add black spacers and buff. Cheap and easy. Want wood to match the sheath, Goncola Alves and tung oil. Not cheap, but easy.

Erin, Thanks for the WIP. What a combination, looks very nice. Yea I’ll have to agree with the scabbard looking a little plain, but that’s just because of the knife being so pretty. Maybe some carving, ca glue, and turquoise powder would make a better fit to the knife? Nice bowl also. Did...

How about iForging Relish. My dad makes a hot sauce from peppers that he grows that, to me is the absolute best tasting hot sauce I’ve ever tasted and it’s a little warm too. He gave me the last ½ gallon of it last week of what he calls uncut, not diluted with vinegar, that I have named the...

Well Murph, That's easy enough. Here's your line "Honey I'll only be gone for a couple of hours and that will give you and your mom time to visit without me hanging around interrupting ya'll. When I get back we'll all go out to dinner:biggrin:" And there is the last Thursday of the month...
