Well this is a first for me (a few firsts) Its my first mirror finish, my first bolstered knife, my first leather sheath that I need to finish, and its going to be my first blade etch with my mark! I think I pushed my self to my personal limits on this one. its number 14 so I apologize if its...

I really like what you did with an inch and a quarter. really nice work and the handle has a nice semi tactical yet collector look to it. I would round the handle off a little bit. make it more user friendly.

I really like the visual balance and uniform look of a or b. I always try for mirror images. have you thought about line in the middle of the handle to give it a point of reference? that might be nice? just my 2 pennies.

very nice. I really like the handle it reminds me of dice or domino pieces.

I am a little confused. Whats the difference between a fighting knife and a thin (spine to cutting edge) bowie? I am making a bowie, well what I thought was a bowie but I saw a similar blade labeled a fighter. Its about an 1 1/4 tall 7 inches long and 3/16 thick. I love the look of those type of...

that is a really cool mini shop! Just wear a respirator in closed areas. Get the clock out of there you dont want to know that you have been working for 5 hours when it feels like 15 min haha.

Really cool knife. I think the handle is really cool. I like how different the sides are. one has a ton of figure and one side has a lightning bolt running through it. very cool knife. good work

Its always nice to hear that someone is helpful and willing to teach. I love hearing about people like Rex. I am only a year into knife making and I invite all my friends over to make knives. I offer the materials, my (limited) knowledge, tools, and bbq when someone wants to make a knife. I...

It hit 110 degrees today here in Fresno CA. That means I am about one year into knife making. This is my first to my latest. I hope the progress keeps up. Thanks for looking and sorry about the picture quality, that's going to take a lot more time to figure out! The handle on my newer knife...

wow very nice work I love the handle

thanks guys for all the input. I wish there was someone close so I could just take a few passes on one it seems like a black and white comparison that will be clear right off the bat. thanks again guys

Just a quick question on belt grinders. How much time do they really save? I tried a 1x30 for one knife then realized all I needed was a steady angle and went after a file system for my bevels. Tonight I hybridized the ideas to clean up some plunge lines and it took a lot longer than I thought...

Very nice shop! I love it

I think I might have an Idea. I used one for my small salt water reef tank to drip a calcium supplement slowly. you need a 20 oz bottle, a few feet of 1/8 air tubing, and an adjustable air regulator T. I think you can get everything you need from any pet store with a fish section for 5 bucks...

I'm in! This is going to be fun!

I thought it would be all kinds of trouble but it turned out to be a really fun knife to make. I think there are some more friction folders in my future. 1095 with black and od green g10 scales. 2.5 inch blade and 3.5 handle.

I love it! what I like most about it is "myself". I wish I owned one of my knives. Every time I get the time to make one for me someone wants one. awesome knife and that blue is so nice. I love the lines. I hope to make one that nice one day

Here is the "Dirty Bird". My brother is a huge falcons fan...I took the comments from my last post and tried to apply them. I'm not completely happy with the plunge lines but they are getting better I think. Its about 9 inches with an 4.5 inch handle. Its 1095 steel, I forget the wood I used...

Thanks guys for the feed back. And ya this is my 4th so Im still working on getting designs and shapes down. I guess more info would be good ha. Its 1095 3" blade 4.5"ish handle. I was a little nervous to do much with the handle since its only about 3/4" thick and 1/8" steel. I thought it might...

just needs to be sharpened. Still trying to get the hang of making these things.
