Very nice knife Don. You are an inspiration to us all! I have your DVD set on liner locks and it has been a huge help to me over the last couple of years. I am constantly referring back to it. Keep up the great work!

I use some translucent material that quilters use for tracing patterns. Not sure what it is called. It can be found at any hobby store like Hobby Lobby. You can cut it with a good pair of scissors. When applied to the steel it traces very easily.

Ok guys, I'm about to show my ignorance so shield your eyes! How can you tell the difference between a sheet of G10 and a sheet of paper micarta? Both are black and I really need to know which is which. Ant tips would be appreciated!

Hey Tim! If I'm not mistaken you had a video that I downloaded years and years ago about how to build a forge, make a knife handle and even stitch a sheath. It was one of the very first videos I had ever seen on the topic and I was hooked! If that was you thanks for making the video and...

You will absolutely love it. I have one of Bruce Bump's and it has become one of my all time favorite tools. Let us know what you think!

One of the best ways is to buy an old used slip joint of a design you like and take a carpet scraper blade (you can buy them at Home Depot) and place it between the liner and the blade and bang away with a hammer until it cuts through the pivot pin. You can. It the other pins the same way and...

Thanks Kevin. I always appreciate your input on this forum.

Beautiful work Don! I won some just like it and hope that mine turns out 1/2 as good as yours!

Awesome looking knives. Looks like you have already made something of yourself to me! Keep us posted on how it goes!
