Hopefully this will help!! If you cut your welt like in the drawing, it will allow for the heel of the blade to slide down in front of it and help hold the knife in the sheath. Also, build the sheath so that the blade sits slightly tip-down, so that gravity can do it's thing. Lastly, wet-form...

I designed a horiz sheath for my Trailmate.. It is now being used by Lone Wolf on the production versions. It is pretty simple and works well. The trick seems to be building in a retaining device in the welt.

Why can't you still turn the tap one more time after it gets tight in the hole????

Very Nice J........ I'm looking forward to us having a few at Blade and getting caught up!! Are you bringing Danny along?? Steve

Hi John, Nice to see you here... There is a lot of great folks lurking around this place!! Steve

I would like to get in. Thanks for the opportunity!! Steve

Chuck at Alpha Knife Supply did have quite a bit of it!!

O.K. everyone, here is the deal... I got the certs today and this is not exactly what I was under the impression it was. This is what is called, "single pass hot rolled annealed". What that is is that it is actually hot rolled and then run one time through the cold rolls. The steel has been...

Thanks for the input everyone. I am going to try and work out the details today and hopefully have a price by tomorrow!!

Ed is correct. The dimensions are .230x7"x96" I have approximately 2000 lbs that I think I can get, but in order to get it I think I am going to have to buy it all!! I will probably have the bars cut in half to make shipping easier. The bars in their current dimensions are just a bit over 44...

WHO"S INTERESTED???? I have a line on a large quantity of Cold Rolled Annealed 5160. It comes with mill certs and is really nice stuff. It is all.230 thick. I wanted to put out some feelers and see who might be interested in some before I buy it all.

Mike, The argon is plumbed into the can. The same way as it is done when making stainless Damascus. There is a 3/8 pipe welded to a 3/8 hole in the lower part of the back of the can. ( basically next to whatever you are using as a handle) Then an argon hose flow meter and bottle are...

I mounted mine to the wall. Now it's out of the way and doesn't take up any valuable bench space..

I love to experiment!!! I think I'll have to get a billet all made up with some i it and then try and weld it at the Summit in 2 weeks. I'll bet some of the people attending will not believe how argon works!!

Has anyone tried using Inconel 600 in Damascus?? I have a friend who used to work in the aerospace field. He gave me a 50 lb coil of it. I am planning on using some of it in a can, but was wondering if I am going to need to pump argon through it to get it to weld to carbon steel. Any help...

I have had one for years. I split the 1" belts down to 1/2" and use it for getting into those little hard to reach places.

+1 here!! I have a 2" long piece of scrap ti that has a 2-56 hole on one end and a 1-72 on the other. I have it anodized blue so that I don't accidentally throw it away. I just thread through the amount I want to get rid of then hit it on a 400 grit belt until I see a pretty white spark from...

He is a pretty incredible artist. I am trying to convince him that he needs to take up engraving !!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.. I am really proud of him for the patience and effort that it took. Not only to get this project done. But also, for being able to put up with my input all week!!

My son Mike came up and spent the past week with me. It was the best birthday present any dad could ask for!! When he got here, he told me he wanted to build a damascus Dagger. Now you have to understand that he is a 21 year old who has never built a knife before. I tried to explain to him that...
