Guess a dremel tool is going to have to go on my ever growing list of tools to buy....

No worry man. I'm still learning and won't stop learning so was just curious as to how I might have messed it up lol :)

No problem man. That's a really good tip I would have never thought to try relieving the liners with my electro etched. And without a mill relieving the liners wasn't going to happen. Now I might give it a try.

Thanks for the tips :)

There would be no problem having your finger out on the spine as the top grind is a false edge.

Ok, guess I'll have to figure something out then...

How would a guy with very basic shop tools create a nail nick in the blade? Assuming a nail nick is necessary....

Thanks for the help guys

Use micarta for the bolsters?

I don't have a torch or any way to solder on a bolster would jb weld epoxy work? If not sounds like I will be ordering in some 1/8" micarta or g10 and go linerless

Was thinking about using some stabilized Koa or other stabilized wood.

That, is an excellent idea! :) thank you

Thanks for the support on this project. I'm sure it will have its flaws being my first attempt but I'm going to get it done. As to the "lint trap" I haven't decided if I'm actually going to file it in or not. If it will work better without then I will leave it. My first question.... I don't...

Hey guys, I'm currently working on my first slipjoint. I've always wanted to try to make one but have been too intimidated to try.....until now. If anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to make this easier please share. I started with some sketches that I made photocopies of and cut out the...

Once again thank you for the detailed super helpful reply. Gaining more confidence with the camera with every shot... Beautiful knives BTW.

Ok these two were taken using iso 100 and f11 perhaps a bit to bright? Still much better than before (I haven't got any of my own knives finished right now so just grabbed a knife out of the kitchen block) No post editing done at all
