Yes, It's all about Life, Liberty and the pursuit of making sharp pointy things! :3: Good luck at Blade.

We all like, but I don't think the Armadillo was to happy about it!:biggrin: Calvin. Sweet looking folder, all the way around.:35:

To the OP, An Oven is one of the last pieces of equipment you need to get started on your knife. I've been making knives since 96 and still don't own a heat treat oven. I send them out for HT. Nothing wrong with doing your own, but Files or a grinder and a drill press are much more necessary...

Another way would be to use the Kirinite in segments and put spacer materials between. Just like you did that cool carving set. only you would have a lot more segments.

The handle looks comfy and I like the blade too!

Facebutt as I refer to it is, Well you can get my drift! OTOH I have done well on Istagram

Welcome to KnifeDogs! I like the white Hunter rendition!

I used a HF 4 x 6 for about 15 years. Only reason I sold it was I needed to down size, As has been mentioned, Use it vertically. I sat on mine and worked away! Its really all you need for cutting bar stock and sharping profiles.

Get the HF 4 x 6 if you have the room it runs a 64 1/2" blade or, Get a 44 1/8" and a swag off road table for it. Most important is to buy USA made Morse, Starrett Bi-metal blades for it.

Chris, In my experience's, you told the man just the right thing. As we have talked about before and Ed and Rob just mentioned. You can always raise your price for your Custom knives. But each time you take less, at a knife show you are digging a hole for yourself you might not ever be able...

Did the loose end beat you in the head a few times before you managed to shut it off? :les: Ask me how I know! :biggrin:Another reason I always wear a ball cap when grinding!

Whoa, Ed, he damaged your merchandise? He would have just bought it as far as Im concerned. People are very strange sometimes. Last Sunday I had just sold one of my Mini Santuko's for my price of $200.00 and some guy came up and saw that I do sharpening work as well, This man watch the...

Nice looking Kitchen Kutters. I like the handles too.:35: One little suggestion. Grind & Dunk Grind & Dunk when you grind the handle pins. It looks like one got a little scorched leaving a little ring in the Amboyna.

I have a 1/4 HP Balbor 3600 RPM and its all I have ever needed for buffing woods and debarring edges. I have never done the finishing from 120 grit on with the grease and a buffer so I can't awnser that part of your question. I purchased this buffer when I was a noob years ago and just saw a...

Whenever I have guests in my shop that have worn out their welcome I just start grinding a little antler or bone!:biggrin: They suddenly remember that they have an appointment somewhere else.

We have more makers than buyers here at KD's and while that's great to have our community to share and learn from each other at, but as has been mentioned, reach out to other sites, Post some of your work. I've gotten emails because a potential buyer saw me sharing with a newer maker and liked...

I think both Bossdog & Ed along with any other maker thats worked and been around buffers for over a decade or two that Buffer's seem to have a Gremlin factor! :what!: There really didn't seem to be a reason for it yet the knife was grabbed and launched. More so that any other tool in a shop...

I personally avoid nasty G-10 because when you grind it turns into little fish hooks & if the stuff gets in your lungs it can only come out after you assume room temperature:15: . I use Kydex, I generally epoxy it all up at once but glueing it up first works well too.

Excellent work! And that blackwood grain really looks nice.

On top of what Calvin said, I carry two knives most of the time and I prefer to have one be a cheap simple folder to eat off of that's stainless and a slip or lock back that I can put under a stream of water and soap to clean any crud build up out of it from cutting foods.
