    Thanks Keith. Time will tell, but I'm more excited about doing some linerlocks over the next month or so.

    Kirinite! And my first 2 dedicated kitchen knives!

    These long blades require SO much more attention and perseverance than small blades. There's just so much surface to look out for, and so much room for errors to occur. I doubt I'll do any more of these anytime soon. The santoku is on her counter right now... part of her actual Christmas...

    Kirinite! And my first 2 dedicated kitchen knives!

    Thanks guys! I couldn't be more excited about these 2! The chef was a special order of sorts for a friend of mine. It will be his girlfriends Christmas present and he gave me carte blanche to do whatever I wanted on an 8" chef style. The santoku will live at my girlfriends house. There are...

    need help sharpening blades

    I've sent my last few knives to a guy in TX that I met through another forum. I've been VERY happy with the results on all my knives. PM me if you want any details... Personally, I have a Lansky and need new stones. It works well for me. Lately, I've been doing convex edges on the grinder...

    Folder detent

    I believe your second scenario is what I was trying to describe... that way the ball pulls harder and has nothing to "bottom out" against. I like the idea of drilling straight with the blade held tightly closed. I will try that on my next folders. Thanks Ed!

    Craftsman 2x42 belt sander mod ideas

    I am still working off the Craftsman 2x42, modded to run 72" belts and with a ceramic platen. I think everyone has already stated the obvious limitations of the grinder, but it's been a great little workhorse for me.

    Folder detent

    Ed, Thank you for putting the 55 and 53 in there. that is something I have go search for on every new liner lock. As for actual geometry, do you drill straight through with the blade in the exact closed position? or remove the stop-pin and "over-close" the blade by a tiny bit? I only ask...

    Updates - Hometown Hero Build

    Looks good! I'm digging the weathered blade finish for sure! I sent mine back to Boss and got an email about a month later, that they had found a soldier to receive the knife.

    "My very first knife" - post up!

    I can barely believe this, but my mom was in her attic this weekend and FOUND MY FIRST KNIFE! Ok, it is more of a "knife"... but I was about 12 when I did this.

    Matchlock Axe/Pistol

    Bruce.... I didn't get to watch the video with sound because I'm on a conference call, but DANG! I just about jumped outta my chair when it finally went off! Dave, I was wondering the same thing. My only idea is that you invert the flask, put your finger over the tip of the nipple and then...
