Welcome. Sounds like you have quite the project on your hands. Might I suggest a couple of practice knives before the official ones. It might just be a bit trickier than you think. STeve

Looks like a good workking knife. Why the sticky outy part at the front of the handle, I would think that would get uncomfortable. Steve

IN the Lake, Centofante book, Lake recommends measuring the height of the knife in the area of the pivot, then measure .45 of that distance from the front and .45 of the distance from the bottom. In other words if your knife measures 1 inch from bottom to top near the front of the kif then your...

Take it easy and if it hurts don't do it. Ask me how I know. Steve

Admiral Steel if you re looking for any kind of quantity. Steve

I am in the process of making an interframe folder and have cut the pocket for the inlay too far to the back leaving no room for the pins that hold the back spacer. Is there any reason why I can't peen the pins inside the pocket prior to inserting the inlay. I plan on inlaying with mammothh...

I also do the drill through method but use a #60 drill bit for the original hole and the depression into the blade. Follow with the # 53 through the lockbar for seating the ball itself. Steve

This is the current project. The knife has an overall length of just over 14". The blade is Matt Walker striped damascus, the stripes are roughly 3/32 wide and run the full length of the blade. The guard is also the same damascus and the stripes run top to bottom. The guard is 2 3/4" tall and 1...

I have had a customer request that I make them a multiblade bird knife. One blade and one bird hook folder. They are looking for it to be handed down to thier son when he starts bird hunting. A commemerative working heirloom. I let the customer know that I felt I was not up to standards to build...

I also use the stone in bezel purchased from Signity. The drill they sell you is a two step carbide drill for about $40 when I bought it. Of course I broke it almost as fast. I use the 2.5mm stones which work real well with a #36 drill and a number 43 drill. I was going to order some other...

Another gentlemans pocket knife. Liner lock with damasteel blade, home made thumb stud with red stone, random carbon damascus bolsters front and back, mammoth tooth scales with gold screws. Overall length open 6 1/2" closed 3 1/2. Please let me know what you think. Thanks Steve

I prefer a max thickness overall of 1/2". Much thicker than tht and I find it cumbersome. Steve

Would love to build one too. Any info greatly appreciated. Steve

I tried the cup wheel technique before I broke down and got the surface grinder. Not highly recommended. One piece missed the right ear and the other missed the left. Almost needed a change of underwear after that. Both pieces imbedded themselves in the drywall 10 ft behind me. Steve How you...

I really do not understand electronics so please be gentle. Is 1 amp at 100 volts the same as 2 amp at 50 volts in terms of anodizing? Thanks Steve

Would this work for the DC power supply or is it too light? Single 0 to 50 VDC 3A power supply • Adjustable current and voltage output • Over current and short circuit protection • Dual 3 1/2 digit LED displays The Elenco XP-752A Variable Voltage Power Supply features fail-safe automatic...

Very Nice. With the release on the back how do you ensure it doesn't release accidently? Steve

Seven days after surgery and went into the shop for the first time. I got home on Monday and managed to stay out for 2 whole days. The surgery was not nearly as bad as I had thought it might be, the 5 days in hospital afterwards were pretty tough. I am absolutely amazed and baffled why the...

Very nice. How did you attach the scales tothe liners? And the big question , how dod you inlay the Paua and mop? Thanks for showing it to us. Steve

Every once in a while we are accidentally suprised. I chose this set of mammoth tooth scales more because they were different than with any great revelation as to how good they would look. Once they were in I could not help but notice how like a Japanese Garden they looked. Please let me know...
