It serenity is a shame they have turned Michael Quesenberry down to take his master smith test, I would think he would be an asset to the ABS as a master smith. Deane

I did not like this design from the get go, but I did it, the frame and scales are of steel of the same kind, he is going to fully engrave the scales and then blue them, it will have a nickel sheath that will be engraved, you needed to be able to take it all apart to blue it, this is the only...

Stainless to stainless can be a problem the moon and stars must be in the right position, staybrite is the right solder, you need a little gap for the solder to go into,also wash it with hot water and detergent, don't put your hand on it, if you get it to hot and it turns black it is all over, I...
