Sunny, What does "DD" stand for? I have the work rest built by a forum member designed and built for other members of KD as well as a few other forums, a few years ago, it was quite spendy but, I will say, worth every PENNY! It's the one that articulates, looks just like it was built...

Bruce, if I understood this correctly you built this 12" tall? Is that correct, that would explain why the 4"front door looks so huge!! The front door does look like its overly gigantic, but with the amount of space your not wasting it looks about as perfect as any I've seen or built, when I...

21. There is no such notion that you could ever have too much BURL! Rex

That's awesome, so seriously incredibly AWESOME!!! I had to, almost but not quite, not yet anyway, force my 16yo, SON!!!!! To go to the shop with me!!! I keep telling him that when I was a kid if I'd had the chance, the opportunity that he does, to be able to play....errr I mean WORK with hot...

Franklin, She's a real BEAUTY! I THINK YOUR Customer will be more than satisfied! Kinda funny, I've been seeing a lot more big knives lately Or maybe just noticing them, since I sketched one out for the Pup, 2 Nights ago! It will be a beast if I get it done! Since he will be needing...

That actually looks like a "Theater Knife". THEATER KNIVES were generally made by the troops. Some were re-handle jobs, some were Pretty eloborate. I would think it could be pretty Valuable to the right collector, but !'m sure you NEVER want to do that! BEING GRANDDADDY'S and All.

Jeff, Are these scales or leather washers? Rex

Are you sure you're 'clearing & doning' it properly? OK, thats military speak, for when we did gas mask training, in the gas chamber we had to clear the CS gas out of it then SEAL IT! Its a simple process where you close off the outlet with your hand and blow out, to check for leaks,if...

Kroo, I don't know what the 1st looked like , but these are AWESOME! Where do you sell them? I may be interested in the Blue Wharnny.. Depending on if I can afford it! PM me with a price, if you're interested in selling one… possibly. Thanks, Rex

I AM SO PROUD!!!! Now I wonder, whats next? Oh, I know, I'll be coming to YOU for lessons! Ok, I'll attempt to be serious for a second, Absolutely AWESOME. JOB! Its beautiful in every way! Rex

Ben, I have a thought/ question, making the blade the way you did, could you have profiled it with the traditional curved blade, that Samurai swords are know for? I know it's not necessary, since this steel will cut on contact and doesn't need then"pull cut" method they used at the time. Its...

John could not have said it better! A"canoe paddle!" HA!!! OK, seriously speaking, if it were me, I would get MORE input from what the customer wants, I like mine around 15"(OAL), give or take an inch or 2 either way, it all depends on what he will be doing with it. If its going to be a safe...

Jason, After doing this one and learning all the pitfalls that go along with doing this type of checkering, do you think it might be easier..., or let's say have a cleaner outcome if you'd done it slightly raised? I think it would also give a little better grip or better traction, what do you...

Jason, Will the checkered area be raised? Rex

Ben, Phenomenal JOB! I love everything you did with it. Have you done any cutting with it? Or Better, allowed your "Rainbow Ninja" do any?! I love the Buffalo hide, it has a look to it that is classic, almost elegant. (I'm pretty much a Redneck, elagance comes from different places in the...

I just have to comment, mostly so I can subscribe to this thread and because this thing is so freakin awesome! The way we ( I mean you, Ben) can take an anciient weapon that at one time could ONLY be made by the chosen few, can take full creative control, add in many technical ...or I guess...

That may be it, I won't know until I go back through ALL of my books again, from time to time I'm forced to step,away from making knives, due to way too many really good reasons that when I get so sick of not going to the shop I start calling them excuses, ..., well, I do until I'm back in the...

I too, have seen some of the knives he's made, they look pretty good, although I haven't seen any of his video's, the only knowledge I have of it is the demo that I saw at the BLADE SHOW. THAT was AWESOME I wanted to see what it would be like in a smaller blade, see how the edge would hold up...

The reason I am interested in this steel is because it DOES heat treat to a Rc of 70 and DOES maintain an edge, and with the demo I saw at BLADE in 2013 after the World Championship Cutting Competition, the guy that did the demo CHOPPED a large can of corn (a steel can) the proceeded to cut...

That's a pretty stink'in good idea! Hey! This could be to Cowboy knives, what Harley chain Damascus is for Biker Knives!! Still a unique idea and depending on the horses diets, you wouldn't have to worry about dyeing the... Errr, material. I do know, for a fact, a diet high in alfalfa hay...
