Beautiful knife and congrats on getting the photographer to pay you.

Here's a teaser for my entry. Nothing is glued up yet and the handle block is bedded but obviously unshaped at this point. LOTS of firsts for me in this project -- I have sort of a WIP set of pictures I'll be posting once it is done. Only problem is that there is almost no chance I'll...

Very good Gunnar. Now I'm wondering what to do with the zombie skin this bad boy is designed for...

Attractive design, looks like it might be comfortable to use but too much of skinner for my taste in neck knives.

I have both and use the portaband much more. It's biggest problem is a maximum cut depth of about 5".

Very cool! I remember seeing most of the chessmen when they were exhibited on Lewis during my honeymoon.

Very nice indeed.

I don't have the images, he used them in a presentation at Ashokan a couple of years ago. However I suspect that all of them and more are available in his book, which is something like a doctoral thesis with knife edges as the topic. Messerklingen und Stahl ("Knife blades and steel") Roman...

I've heard Roman talk about this in person. He's concerned with what he considers "the edge" of a sharp knife. He defines this as the last 30 microns with the actual edge itself being less than 1 micron across the "blunt" part. Nothing in this scale is optically visible, even with a...

That is absolutely amazing! A complete damascus tour de force.

Beautiful work Fred. The blade and fittings are simple and elegant examples of the tradition and the sheaths, especially the black wrap one, show some real creativity.

But if the trade was officially with the father that wouldn't be a problem, right?

Really good looking grinding Sam. Keep that up and you're going to start getting a rep for polished, shiny pieces :-)

Thanks for hosting us Tracy. Hmm, somehow I never seemed to have joined as a Knife Maker. That's fixed now :-)

Sweet. You nailed that one.

I've been using the Tapatalk Forum App with Bladeforums on my Android tablet and like it much better than the custom Knifedogs app. Maybe it would be better to just ensure that Tapatalk works well for Knifedogs?

Impressive billet and good to see Jr at work. The pimped press looks to be holding up well too :-)

Very nice indeed. The hawk, the still life, all of the other pieces. Beautiful assembly. Now for a question: If the spike was forged separately how is it attached to the rest of the head?

Cool sheath too. You done good :-)

I've been wondering about where to get open coated 2x72 belts after trying a piece of coarse open coated paper on my disk grinder and being amazed at how well it cleaned up stabilized wood blocks back from WSSI as well as how long it lasted. Do you carry open coated AO belts in, say, 40-80 grit?
