I don't know anything about the coot grinder, but for around 600 you can get a grizzly. That would leave you 1400 for more tools. A good drill press. A few good files, etc. Good luck!

I like to use 5/32 on drop point hunters.

My G0704 was just delivered last night, took me about 3 hours to set it up, clean it, do the break in procedure, and test it out. I did not tram it yet, but i did square the vice up and cut a nice slot in some 416 stainless. No problems at all, and I was expecting problems and frustration...

Asesome knife! Wish it was mine. :)

Inspired by case shark tooth? I like it.

Ironwood, Dymondwood, CPM154 Comments and critique appreciated, thanks for looking!

Awesome! I really like the filework.

The pursuit of perfection. For me, is one of the most appealing things about knife making. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most frustrating. Just have to know when to close up the shop and do something else for a while.

Nice work!

I agree. I also rip the sheets in half or 4ths.

Looks pretty good! Much better than my second knife. Not a bad job on the vine filework also, might look a little better if the vine was thinner, but that's just an opinion. Are those brass liners? I did that on a knife once, looked nice but made an already handle heavy knife even heavier. I...

I always like seeing something a little out of the ordinary like this. Nice work. Excellent pics. Thanks for posting.

I have stained a couple but didn't like the results. Try a few different methods on scraps to see if you get the results your after. I have done a lot of elk antler knives and left them natural. I think they look good.
