Thought a few of you old 'War Dogs' might enjoy and maybe relate to a few of these little bits of wisdom gleaned from here and there: 'If the enemy is in range, so are you.' - Infantry Journal - 'It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.' - US. Air...

I noticed the tang of the file in one photo was on the right side of the knife. When you draw file with the file perpendicular to the blade, the tang goes to the left. I didn't find that out for a couple of knives and it sure cut down on the big gouges when you get through and want to start...

Michael, The reason I just said veg oil is that there are so many brands available and for this purpose I don't think it would really matter which one is used. I happen to use Crisco but that's just what I grew up with. A thin coat worked in with the fingers lasts pretty well. It's kind of...

Steve, I'd like to say thanks to you and all the Mods for working so hard to get this thing going. I wish you all well in what I'm sure will be a trying time getting through this first year. What would you guys think of posting a short notice in some of the other areas on KD so maybe the word...

Really nicely done Randy. You guys are just getting better all the time. Carey

Nicely done and you sure got my interest when you said leather lined kydex sheath but the picture of the sheath seems to be missing. Thanks for showing it off, Carey

Michael, I like the idea of the salad bowl oil. I have few hand made wooden spoons that I just rubbed real well with veg oil and they have held up well for years. When they start getting to look a little dry, I just put a little oil in the bowl and rub it in real well with my fingers. I...

Very nice Randy. You guys are turning out some beautiful work. I'm going to have to find some of that musk ox horn. This is the second knife I've seen it on and it would look great on a couple of my designs. Carey

Thanks for the heads up guys. There are a few shows around my area each year. Sounds like I need to get off my backside and get up enough knives to get a table. Carey

Its great to have generous suppliers. I don't do enough business with anyone to get those kind of perks but have in the past and I was always greatful for the extras. Carey

My prayers and condonences to his family. Carey

Murph, I'm sorry I missed a your post until now. Please accept my most sincere condolences. It is never easy but it is part of what we must endure to share the love of a pet for a while. Carey

Do a test quench on a piece. Don't temper it. Put it on a hard surface an break a piece off. If it snaps like glass, it will make a knife if you get the temper right. It may not be the best knife in the box but it's good practice. Carey

That's a great idea Stan. That would probably help out with most any kitchen knife grind too. Carey

You can check my Links site. I have links to Ernie for stencils and to Chris Crawford for building an etcher that was designed by Bob Warner. That way, you can kind of keep it all in the pound. Carey

The stabilizer is some kind of poly based chemical and it will not allow the adsorption of any more moisture. I'm not aware of anything that will darken it except use over time. Carey

I saw the forum heading and 87 posts and wondered how I had missed a forum for so long. Boy do I feel better. Good thinking on the name change. Hope the 'bots' don't pick up on market and make you guys go through another round of attackage. Thanks for all the hard work you moderator guys do...

Thanks Sean, I love feedback. Tell everyone you know. I've made more and they all need new homes. :biggrin: Carey

Man are you going to have a happy pa-in-law. The knife looks good but I'm blown away by that case. That has to be one of the classiest pieces I've seen in a while. Carey

Hey Sean, I'd like to play again if it will be alright. Carey
