Thanks Craig It's a good thing my pet beaver was hungry .... I mean the blade had been heat treated correctly :). Thanks for the compliment, Craig! Now, like Bing said, I've gotta get crackin' on the 5 presentation knives. I've drawn a bunch of pictures but that's about all, at...

Sweet! You never cease to amaze me, Graham. I can't imagine what you'll come up wiht when you get a big press! Dana

Hi Bruce! Well, you know I could not have done any of this without all the mentoring and help from so many folks in the knifemaking community. I've started doing some sketching for the 5 presentation knives and have a general plan of attack. I am going to keep them as simple as possible and pay...

Hey Jim! Thanks, a bunch, for the congrats. This test just "happened" :). A Sandy and I spent a few days at Bruce and Kaye's and since I had the knife "handy" I figured I'd give things a go and it all worked out. Weew! What a relief to get that part of the "exam" out of the way. I'm already...

Thanks, so much, Stabber! I do have some past sales up on BladeGallery. I sent a couple to Daniel and Drew there recently, and they should be displayed soon. My link on his website had been disabled as all my stuff got sold. Hopefully it'll be active shortly. Thanks again! Dana

Thanks Josh and Graham! I think these tests are really a community effort. I could not have done it without ya'all's support and encouragement! Thanks again! Dana

Thanks Denny and Bing! I've been out of commission for a few days with a cold and am just getting back to the emails and forums. I can't tell you how relieved I was when that last degree went buy! The blade never cracked either! YeeeHaaaa! Now, as you said, Bing, the hard work of producing 5...

Hi Bruce! Like Dave, I'm excited to see the pics for the handle. I used some of that W-2 you sent and it took a little bit of hand sanding and a few trips into the ferric chloride but the hamon did eventually pop nicely :). Take care, Dana

Hi Bruce! Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. I tried to login in yesterday afternoon but, for some reason, it did not like my username/password. Anyhow, I don't have any digital photos. All mine are hard copies. I'll have to get the exact name and author of the book I'm...

My dad, as you know, was in the horse cavalry until it was decommissioned in the 40's. He was stationed at Fort Riley where he was trained. One of the big displays that had been up as you walked into the museum there had my dad riding his horse across the Republican River (I think), along with...
