Thanks guys. Matt-I profile in batches and always set them up so I can finish them with or without bolsters. One has an angled heel because I put the bolster holes too far forward so I had to grind that angle in to be able to move the plunge forward. So basically it was just a modification to...

These are headed to Steven Garsson. One for the DesRosiers benefit and the other for the Russ Andrews benefit. They are both 7" long, 2" at the heel, & made from .100" thick at the Ricasso with a nice distal taper. Overall lengths are ~12". Both have a 400X hand rubbed finish, are bolted up with...

Congratulations to all the nominees & winners. It was humbling to be nominated for my work and my contribution to the knife community. It was an honor to even be mentioned along side such a fine group of makers. There were some beautiful pieces in every category and I look for it to be even...

That's my favorite from you so far Justin. I like the size, the design, materials, & the F&F. Heck I like everything about it. You took to this stuff like a duck to water. I always enjoy seeing your work.

Excellent rendition of a timeless classic. The only thing I would change would be to make the guard lug smaller and sleeker like the original but that's just personal preference.

Its ok to send it as long as it is indeed dry. IIRC they told me that moisture should be at or below 8%. They will check it before processing it. You can also take it to a local cabinet shop, they usually have a moisture meter to check for sure.

Bleach will soften bone. Use peroxide to whiten it.

If you're going to do stock removal and send them out for H/T then it really doesn't matter. Peters will do an excellent job on whatever you send them. However, since you are a newbie I suggest that you stay away from the high Vanadium steels until your grinding skills improve. Having said all...

I concur.

Personally, I'd love to see it.

I always let mine cure for at least 24 hours.

It doesn't matter how much or how little work you do as long as you are open and honest about what you DID do and don't mislead people about what you DIDN'T do. There are people who do fairly well at just re-handling factory knives. Then there are people who smelt their own steel and the whole 9...

Oil quenching isn't necessary. I plate quench all my air hardening steels.

I'd give Charles Turnage a call, he has cut special sizes for me several times. His number is on his website, fineturnage.com.

My gift exchange box from Ed of all trades. Got my box of goodies from Ed today. He sent me what appears to be a block of Redwood burl, a set of nicely figured Cocobolo scales, & what's left of a smoking jacket which appears to be slightly over smoked. Thanks Ed & Merry Christmas everybody.

Shipped mine yesterday.

Ok guys, some of you aren't cooperating with me here. I clearly asked everyone to send me a PM when your knife ships and another when you receive your knife. I asked everyone to do this for a reason so PLEASE PM me this information so I can be sure everybody gets a knife.

Wow, that little sucker is a lot tougher than I thought. LOL Glad you like it Jon.

Hate to hear this John. Please keep us updated on how Grizzly handles this.

Ok guys, I still haven't heard anything from James Clair & John Wilson. I need to know if your knives have shipped. I also need to know if any more have been received. Its been running smooth so far guys so don't drop the ball now. IF YOU HAVEN"T SHIPPED YOUR KNIFE YOU NEED TO DO SO MONDAY...
