Go figure ....

I just checked out your portfolio Igor and I am very impressed. I am sorry it took me so long to notice but you have a new fan now. Great work! I have been away for awhile and haven't stayed connected and I now see that there are a few really talented Neo-Tribal Metalsmiths that have come up the...

No two people totally agree on any religion. There are as many religions as there are people. I believe I am a Born Again Christian, a Servant of my Lord, Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God. But I doubt many of yall would see me as a man on a Spiritual Path dedicated to a Code of Ethics. I...

I love your work James! Very nicely designed and made.

It is very light and I'm going to use it for portability. That's it's big appeal to me. You could carry this in a backpack easy. I can see the "Prepper Crowd" using it for all kinds of stuff. It is made in China btw. I was contacted by a wholesaler so I got the sales pitch. I stopped listening...

I just got it. It is a lot like the Bufco blowers, Buffalo Forge Company made with the stamped out metal case. If you've ever used one of those then this is close to that kind of feel. It's shaped like a Champion 60a (the model blower I used in Knifemaking Unplugged) but is similar to the...

Beautiful work!

Very very nice. More Sweat = Better Patina

Great stuff! OK, I have one of these blowers from this auction on the way to me from Canada. I will give a full report asap. I'll hook it up to one my washtub forges and see what it's like.

Oh Cool! Great info find! Wow, they have a lot better gearing than I imagined.

They have a stamped metal outside and cast iron gears. That sounds like a Champion model 50 or a Bufco blower. Ive seen both of those go for well over a hundred dollars for old beaters. I don't know what the gear ratio is for the old blowers but I don't think they were 1:35 like this one is...

I don't know a thing about the quality of these. It's just the first time I've seen new ones anywhere close to this price. They look like a great deal.

About time! http://www.ebay.com/itm/181264404718?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649http://www.ebay.com/itm/181264404718?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Thanks for the link. I kept coming across references to Aldo but no website so I'm glad I asked. You would think a knifemaker's supply would see the demand for this alloy.

I sure would like to try some new flat bar of W2 tool steel from a source that I feel assured I'm using the true alloy. I've heard old Nicholson black diamond files and a few other tools were made from it but nothing in the US in years. I also hear they have it in England so why cant we get a...

Nice! I like the tooling on the leather.

Life looks good. The fishing looks great! I really like the simpler, yet well thought out designs you are coming up with.

Nice!

Badass blade and I really love the wrap handle. Cool look!

But if you think about these things for too long it takes a month to make a patch knife. It might be a pretty cool patch knife but few, if any will see what you tried to express. My wife will tell me to put a slice of Wabi-sabi between two pieces of Shibui and chew on that for lunch tomorrow. I...
