I'm In, But I may have to ask for guidance if I win!! I've never done one of those!!

Thanks CD. I just didn't want the "Old Dogs" to think all of us Newbies thought like the writer of that letter. I would never have guessed that you were a Newbie too from the knife in your signature line!! Oh and Thanks for the Newbie section!! I've already posted there!!

Why Shore!! I'd be Glad to!! The Bowie is handled with Ironwood, and the "Nessie" is handled with stabilized Buckeye Burl. The Larger Bowie is a "Kit Knife" all I did was put the handles on it. The other two are O-1 Steel and are far from perfect!! But Right Now.... I'm proud of 'em, even if...

Jim I think you may have misunderstood what I was talking about. You see, I was asking on another Forum about knives with historical Provenance. I posted a picture of the REAL Cephas Ham Bowie that is on display at the Alamo. It wasn't a picture of mine or another makers, But the real deal at...

Well, I AM a Newbie. I actually recommend this Forum over others. I can't and won't speak for others. I will say that I really EXPECT you "Old Hands" To point out MY Flaws. Otherwise I will never improve!! Yes, Some have told me that my first knife looks better than someone with a "Name" in the...

Congratulations!! It's a feeling I hope to have one day!! I'm kinda' Tickled when anyone sells their first one!! Hope you sell many many more!!

In again Please!! Thank you so much for this opportunity!!

OK when I have posted the picture Of the Cephas Ham Bowie, I said that it was "on display at the Alamo" . Would that Count as giving Proper credit? I'm really concerned about that picture being posted now. I think I should probably remove it. Does anyone think that would be well advised, or...

Thank you Mr. Burrows!!

Man!! That is a Beauty!! You've done it justice!!

Okay I have a question now. I copy pictures of knives all the time just to look at and study. I will some times try and draw what I like about them, and believe me, I'm no artist - it's a struggle to draw something even close. Case in point. I am really interested in the Cephas Ham bowie...

I'm in thanks!

Chuck I am very interested in "period Correct" Styles of knives. What are some of the designs that are current, that were used "Back then"? HB and Nessie I am aware of, as well as some of the "Bowies". Are there any others?

I really want to, but it is dependent on my wife's work schedule. So I'm a "Maybe". Even she wants me to!! LOL (she is really supportive of my old/new obsession.)

Glad to have ya' from another here in S. Central Ky. I hope to see more of ya'. Good luck in your Shooting Match at Ft. Knox!!

Boss Dog, I'm just a member and nobody but a wannabe knife Maker. But I really like Josh Dabney's Idea: Quite frankly, there will be funds going out, but only limited funds coming in. It would be very possible to see these funds depleted fairly quick if situations happen fairly close...

Okay my wife wants me to make her a personal knife. The thing is, is that she has small hands. I want to make her a knife hat "Fits" her. Do any of you have any "formula" for determining the appropriate size handle?? Her hand measures 3 1/2" across x 6 1/4" from her wrist to fingertip of her...

I would like to everyone who has helped me to start realizing a long time dream!! OK so now I'm "hooked". I love making knives!!! And my actual "first knife" it was just finished second. And a "Group photo of the Knives I finished this week, including a Coffin handle...

My first finished today.

Thanks CD!! I know more now, than I did before you posted!!2thumbs Anyway, it may be "Imperfect", it has flaws. But these 2 knives were meant for me to have. They won't be sold OR given away. They were quite simply "Learning Projects". They were meant for nothing more, than for me to learn...
