I picked up some Chicago Cutlery kitchen knives at a rummage sale for $5. They cut really nice, especially compared to my dad's Henkels, which are the finely serrated blades. Of course mine need a whole lot more upkeep... but who doesn't love that? (I had a thread about these blades Here) We...

Fred, I'd like #750. Thanks!

I buy nearly everything either locally, or from usaknifemakers or alphaknifesupply. Tracy and Chuck are both really good guys. Tracy has a larger variety than Chuck has, but sometimes Chuck has just what I was looking for. I've talked with both of them and highly recommend either. One thing that...

I got a ton of brass standoffs cheap, and I've used them as homemade loveless style bolts.

When I get a virus, my sinuses give me horrible headaches. My doctor told me it sounded exactly like a cluster headache. Actually, he prescribed me some cluster headache meds, but they didn't help. They are only present around the times when people get sick (even if I have no other cold/flu...

Out of those options, I really only liked the hawk, sword, and axe category, and the neo tribal would be cool, too. But I wasn't really sure for the other two. I went with tactical fixed blade, because there are quite a few of them made, so I think it'd be good if they had their own category...

Prayers sent...

I really can't help you with any help, because I haven't finished any hidden tangs yet, but I have seen pictures where people do have the tang extend just a bit, then weld a threaded rod on.

For me, the hardest part is finding time to do it. Full time student, afterschool activities, and a part time job eats up all of my time. Any time I have left I have for homework, eating, sleeping, and occasionally I have a few hours total that I can relax.

Here's a few to look through for info: http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?2771-Hidden-Tang-Construction-my-way , http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?4316-No-Weld-Butt-Cap , http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?4314-Bolster-Pins-that-don-t-show Found them in here, but I may have missed some in...

I respectfully disagree. I think that knives can be fit into many many categories, because anything that is sharp can be used to cut something somehow. I like the general parameters of "monosteel fixed blade" instead of defining what the knife can be used for, etc. This would also reduce the...

I always have a good time ordering from Alpha. Chuck is a great guy and will answer any of your questions super quickly. His prices are good too, but the steel is usually in 10" or so lengths, so there is extra waste. But that's sometimes just a little more material to have in case of a screw up ;)

As I was reading this thread, I was thinking to myself that a separate forum would be necessary. Then I saw that it has already been decided upon. My only concern will be having 50+ (likely 100+) pictures to look through and find my favorite. And I also like the categories that are in the...

Is banning spammers Jeff's full time job?! He's so quick to nab them!

Thanks for all the positive words everyone. Some people have PMed me a few times and referenced this thread, which I really appreciate people caring. So I felt obligated to update everyone with any news that I found out. arrow, I'm really sorry to hear about your son. I know a guy with muscular...

Here's an update. In December, I had a 4 month followup, took x rays of different positions to show the level of flexibility in my spine. The Doctor looked at the x rays and today I had the followup of the followup. The good news is that it looks like my lumbar curve appears to be very flexible...

I'll be in again this year! Pieter, you're more than welcome to join in!

Sometimes others' mistakes are the best learning tool to NOT do the same thing!

Here's a bump for this in case anyone was going to go spend some Christmas money on some imported tools! The coupon is good through the new year, but I'll try to update the thread once a new coupon is available.

If you don't want your 8" wheel, I'm sure I think I know a guy who could take it off your hands! :p
