Mark Some advise I recived years ago. No matter at what stage you make a mistake ALWAYS finish the knife. I found that once a blade has been "ruined" you dont have the pressure of worrying about messing it up. Because of this you will be more willing to try things. As a result, you are...

Nicely done! I really like the contrast of the screw covers! God Bless Mike

I agree with Franklin, you have definaltly come into your own style, and your work is Rockin! When you triple HT do you start at a higher then lower as you go? Im a big fan of 5160! God Bless Mike

Looks like its well engineered and well built. I like it! God Bless Mike

Beautiful work Peter! When using 2 different steel like that, how do you determine the HT temperature? Thanks and God Bless Mike

Randy, You are a true Master in your craft. Your sense of style and use of materials is A1. Beautiful work as always! God Bless Mike

Farm, I have made hawks like you are talking about. My suggestion is to create a cross or T shaped end on your handle then cut a female receiver into your head (this will provide a mechanical as well as w welded bond). Deeply bevel both mating surfaces then run your welds in a series of weld...

Thanks Ausbrooks, I agree. Tried a cord wrap and it just doesn't seem right. I have some thin Micarta so I thinking that's what it will be! God Bless Mike

Made this set of Karidashi for a Buddy who is a professional trapper. Cant decide if I want to leave as is, cord wrap, or add scales. Any thoughts? Thanks and God Bless Mike

Found it. There is a drive chain from the gear to the drive tire. It broke. Should be a simple fix. Looking up Dewalt parts now! Thanks and God Bless Mike

Had a chip jet jammed in between my blade and table tonight. Stopped the blade. Shut off immediately. I cleared the jam, but the motor now runs but the tires don't turn. Im using a Dewalt porta band. Any suggestions would be appreciated! God Bless Mike

Nice duo! Love the look! God Bless Mike

Andrew, I see nothing to complain about there! Nice design and very well executed. As for edges to each their own. I do Japanese and traditional Euro chefs ands it almost a 50/50 split. Great job, keep em coming! God Bless Mike

The qualities you get from a disc grinder are increased 100 fold when you can use it at variable speeds (IMO). I didn't have one for years and sprung for one from Rob. Id be lost without it! Good Luck and God Bless Mike

Great looking knife! Going to be a Happy Happy Happy Soldier getting that! Sheath work is nice also! God Bless Mike

I have read this several times was attributed to Judge Roy Bean. This is an actual sentence handed down by Judge Roy Bean Jose Manuel Miguel Gonzales, in a few short weeks it will be spring. The snows of winter will flow away, the ice will vanish, the air will become soft and balmy. The...

Looks great! God Bless Mike

Just a word of advise on making your Wife a kitchen knife. I made mine a small paring knife a few years ago. We have been married almost 29 years and I would have to say I have never seen her so possessive of anything! My son used it and didn't clean it and he heard about it for a week! (Wives...

Brandon Awesome to see your progression! Great work! One word of advise if you are not already aware of it. Almost ALL of the stuff we grind as knife makers is EXTREMLY hard on your lungs and sinuses. If you do not have a good 3M or similar respirator with filter cartridges please get one. It...

As in Micarta, there are different material bases, you have canvas, linen and paper. All 3 have their distinct look. Since you used canvas, I would think that it should be similar to canvas Micarta you would buy commercially. just a thought. I have found that for a tactical type knife I like a...
