A question for the anvil guru's. I have a couple of Peter Wrights, a 170# and a 129#, but would also like a post type. Living where I do, I don't have much of a source for really heavy chunks of heat treatable steel. My question is, if I can buy a chunk of 5in square and have it heat...

I've carried a Swiss Champ for 15+ years, on my third one as I tend to lose them on occasion. I rarely use it as a knife as I carry other blades as well, but the scissors, pliers see lots of use. Of the 33 tools on a Champ, I think I've used all of them except for the fish scaler. Leadfoot

Are you kidding? This is a must see most every day. I understand about hands on training, but I learn gain vast amounts of knowledge from a good tutorial. Thanks Leadfoot

Ahh I fully understand about doing things the hard way. Then we have probably met, I've had a table there for several years, both at the spring and Thanksgiving weekend. I'm the one built like Santa Claus including the beard. Leadfoot aka Doug Linscott

Hello I'm Leadfoot, and I'm a collector. If there's a 13 step program for my affliction, please don't tell me!!! First there was the WH carbon fiber mania. In regular production versions there would be 22 knives in the set. Never did find any of the damascus versions for sale, that's...

The lock itself is strong enough, but the button is easily pressed. A friend had his close on a finger, cutting it to the bone, while making a heavy cut. Beautifully made knives, but more suited for slicing task. Leadfoot

Oh very nice, I have a WH affliction myself. Leadfoot

777 Please and thanks for the chance. Leadfoot

Very nice Ariel, a simple direct way of doing this. Leadfoot

777 thanks indeed. Leadfoot
