That came out really well.

This is my first boot knife sheath in leather, just for an idea. No tutorial.

Finished my new design and first stonewash, for a buddy. 1084 stonewashed, black canvas micarta and orange liners. I tried to replicate Gene's Kith for me, the sheath.

Hey Bruce, I was researching your shed and found this video, may help.

I learned by watching many youtube videos. I will link one later, one that really helped me out without a tumbler. I used Ed's ratio (3:1) with the ferric chloride and distilled water, 3 parts distilled to 1 part chloride, water first. Video linked below, I used windex instead of baking soda...

My first attempt at stonewashing, easier than I thought. Might shake it some more but I like this pattern. before after

I watched the show a couple times, more since I have been making knives. Most of my friends do not know all the shit that happens after quenching, show leaves a lot of steps out. Always get a kick out of that. Should just make a knife for one of my family members using the FIF method, when it...

New knife for a buddy, we are trading crafts, he is into woodworking and making me a nice shop shelf. 1084 with stabilized cedar elm and alumilite, scales not made by me.

It is just too big for what I make, good for spacing the holes though.

I started on 2 and 4 prong, I never use #6. You can find cheap cutting boards and mallet on ebay or harbor freight. I can send my #6 chisel and rubber mallet not being used, just pm your address and I will cover postage.

Bottom one on first photo looks like Koa, beautiful lines.

I am making a knife for a friend who wants all black, I will be attempting first etch with ferric chloride (1:3 ratio), have a problem thinking ahead. I am only able to make full tang knives at my skill level, how do I keep spine above scales etched when shaping them? I glue scales on after...

Made a trio of boot knives for a friend, two are finished. 1084 with cedar elm/resin scales.

That is beautiful, just amazing look.

Are you guys still using windex or water when utilizing oscillating sander? I have one but corded, just want to clarify before I attempt to kill myself.

Great story, that is so cool and hopefully I will be making them at 86.

I got lucky today, 60 grit at 1800 rpm and surprising reflex from me. Just above a rug burn, very little blood.

I asked a friend to make these scales for me, they came out like I wished, Seahawks theme. I added the liners for more look.

I feel you, got down to...or up to 76 today.
