Shokr I have had the same issue with a 52100 paring knife with not only blackening the blade (and the strawberries) but put off a rotten egg odor. As said above, some steels have their good and bad qualities. Having said that, for a larger protien type knife, I still love 52100! God Bless Mike

I have a question. Ive seen older steels pre 1960 that were smooth as in slick polished smooth, and I have also seen some that were finely grooved running lengthwise. What is the diffrence? Thanks, and God Bless Mike

I love my variable speed disc! I havnt tried the cork and compound though! Thanks for the tip! God Bless Mike

Check with a local crane or rigging company. Most crane companies re rigg their cranes depending on the hours. Ive used some I got off the rigging company local to me and for a knife I would have sold for $125 I got a pick up truck full of 3' pieces 1.5" around. Good Luck and God Bless Mike

I scored a good deal on a mill and surface grinder. I will say that the mill gets MUCH more use. I now use it on every knife I make. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the surface grinder, but the more I learn about the mill the more I love it!. Might start checking craigslist, that's where I found...

Thanks Guys! I've been out of the shop for several years an just getting back into it. I've never drawn a handle to a tracing like this. Sure seems like a good way to make mistakes on paper rather than on handle material! Thanks and God Bless Mike

Bruce how are you using kerosene for flux? This is new to me. Thanks in advance! God Bless Mike

My first choice would be to cut a bit oversize and send to K&G or one of the other pro stabilizers. having said that, looks like cactus juice may be a good alternative! You will have a cost to set up a vacuum tank if you don't have a pump, so if this is a one of, pro stabilized might be your...

Good looking blades! Seem to be very ergonomic and comfortable with just the right amount of sweep. great Job! God Bless Mike

Should the wheels be smooth or serrated? Also having this problem, have been tinkering with an idea to have the magnet set on an aluminum cooling block with cold water running thru it. Anyone see an issue with this? Would make your magnetic table a heat sink. Thanks and God Bless Mike

Anyone ever glue their heavy paper template to the steel them band saw? Ive been doing this on my stock removal blades and it works for me. God Bless Mike

Of all the above, I do believe the most painful for me was cutting myself on the edge of a running mylar belt. It cuts a trough so its hard to get to close! And those 36 grit belts, Blaze or not will sure do a number on a thumb tip or knuckle! God Bless Mike

Mike I etch my logo which is fairly simple, An elongated diamond with a capital G in the middle. Normally I etch the logo before etching the Damascus. I don't coat mine. I like the look of the logo being the same color as the rest of the blade. the oxides will darken your mark when you etch...
