A couple of months ago I pulled out an old blade that has been laying around unfinished since some time in 2010 and finished it up. When I took it to the office, my boss asked me to make a couple of blades for his sons for Christmas. I agreed, if he would help so that he could tell his sons he...

Beautiful work. Kevin.

Just my $0.02......... if you are building a user knife, I'd stop at 220 gr. taking it higher will make it look sleek and glossy, but it will reduce the grip. Get it shaped the way you want it on your sander and then use 220 with a thick piece (.25") firm rubber backer to finish. It will leave...

Nice design and very well put together tutorial.

You had the opportunity to watch a great maker and fried demo. Not only is Jim an AWESOME maker, he's a GREAT friend. Good to hear you had a good time. I'm disappointed I couldn't make it, but Uncle Sam changed my training plans.

Welcome to the pack.

I have to agree with Brad. You have proven to be a dedicated craftsman Ahamad. There is no reason to allow someone to misrepresent your work. Though I have yet to have the opportunity to examine one of your pieces in person, I would gladly add one to my collection if given the opportunity (I...

Hmmmmmm, after just completing my first of three two week courses for my new job, moving the family, and then taking a week long road trip for Christmas, I plan to return home and leave for the next two courses after the New Year. My new Year's Knife Resolution is to un pack, re-organize, and...

Looking forward to the exhibit. For those attending the Arkansas Knifemaker's Association Show in February, the museum is just a stone's throw away from the show.

That's just awesome.

VERY nice John.

I don't advise trying to purchase these at your local bicycle shop. Though they will have them in stock, you PAY for them. I needed a few in a pinch and even with my discount at the bike shop, I paid $15 for 5 and they weren't really the size I was wanting.

Great story Fred. I like how carrying a knife was considered normal for young men then. When my turn came around carrying a knife had been banned. Odly enough, at least once a week I would have a teacher needing to cut something during class and need a knife. As the teachers never carried...

As many have already said, "Congratulations!". Stunning work on this piece. I wish I had had the ability to do similarly when my wife and I were married.

Good for you Frank. Good to hear business is doing well.

Lots of good advice here. I think we've all made about the same mistakes when first starting out. I can tell you what I do, but it might not work for you as you r methods are likely not the same. We all do it differently. If using an oven, cut a few small pieces of Kydex or Bolatron...

Nice work

Very well executed.

Thank you for all of the information gentlemen. I believe I have a source that can square me away now.

Time for my dreams to come true!!! Over the next few months Uncle Jim will be finishing up the center piece of my collection, a MONSTER Fighter. Approximately 12" in length by a little over 2" in width and 3/8" thick at the ricasso. I'm expecting a piece of perfection when this one is complete.
