This is my third fillet knife. My first 2 were a tad thick, but I managed to get this one thinner. It is .020" at the tip, a about thin enough I think. 12" OL 440c Diamondwood Scales Brass pins Comments welcomed. Milt

Very nice work! Looks as if it could "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Milt

Thanks Nikov- The handle is Diamondwood. I also neglected to say that I used 3/16" stock. Milt

Up until just recently I have used only high carbon steel for my blades. This is the 2nd knife I've made from SS (440c). The first was a fillet knife. I made the sheath also. OL 9.5 inches 5" Blade Milt

Jerry- The quench oil I had been using was a mystery oil. It came with the equipment. It worked well on 1080, but not for 1095. After much research I went with the McMaster Carr 11 sec. Parks was just too difficult to obtain, and rather expensive. Shipping was only $15 for a 5 ga...

I have been using McMaster 11 second for both 1080 and 1095 with excellent results. Milt

Ain't it great!#$% We got about 10" in NW MN- much worse to the west and south. I just finished an etch on a blade, and now am going out to plow snow! The temps are dropping and will be below 0 in a couple of days. Yuk. But they say it keeps the riff raff out. Milt

Lovely. I do like red micarta. Nice grind. Milt

Follow orders! I hope you and your wife both recover quickly. Milt

Good stuff I have been using Gorilla Glue exclusively with fine results. One must wear rubber gloves. Be sure you wet one surface. Don't over clamp. Don't use excessive amount of glue. Plan on about 20-30 minutes of constant attention- to wipe the glue away around the ricasso area. I like...

Lovely work! Milt

Sounds great. Count me in. Milt

My stamp This is my stamp- with no attempt to remove the scale from HT. Sometimes I remove the scale, sometimes not. It looks good both ways. I also have an etch stencil of the same design. Milt

Superb! Those inlays really make it! Milt
