Randy, So far I like it. I'm not crazy about grinding it after HT, but with the thickness of the material I'm afraid to do it any other way. Performance wise I LOVE it! I think I need to get trained on how to use stones to get the full potential out of the edge though! I cant wait to start...

Another Masterpiece Bruce! Just curious, is there a tie to Judge Bean with this knife? God Bless Mike

Jericoh Glad to hear you are on the mend! I have had 2 heart attacks and 7 stents. I don't exercise as much as I should, but have lost 43 lbs since my first heart attack. I agree that all is well when in moderation. Just wanted to drop a word of warning. I am a Safety Manager and want to make...

I have one of Ron Claiborne's presses (The first One He sold actually) I have had it for almost 20 years with no complaints! Well designed and well built. Also Ron is a great guy and his customer service is 2nd to none. God Bless Mike

Thanks guys, Im working on a gravity feed drip system, but going shopping tomarrow, really like the look of the flex sprayer in the video, Thanks for all the help! God Bless Mike

Anyone ever used a belt grinder where the belt was kept wet? Wanting to try and set one up, just looking to see if anyone has tried it before so Im not re inventing the wheel! Thanks and God Bless Mike

All I can say is WOW! Cant believe I missed this earlier. Those colors are amazing, and the way the pattern works with the blade is beautiful! God Bless Mike

James Those look GREAT! Im curious to know how well the Durabake holds up for you. Gonna be some happy folks with those! God Bless Mike

Thanks Guys, sorry to take so long to respond, been on the road a while! God Bless Mike

Great looking hawks! What kind of coating? God Bless Mike

Great looking knife! In my opinion you nailed it! You can use fingernail polish as a resist. Paint it on the area you do not want etched, etch the blade, clean off the nail polish. God Bless Mike

Amazing! what size bar did you start with? God Bless, Mike

Just tried some JB Weld "Clear" seems to work well. I have never seen the clear before so I decided to give it a try. With the JB Weld name, it's hard not to! God Bless Mike

I would say pay a bit more attention to your soak time, and possibly an initial higher heat. I never did HD chain but did some fork lift lift chain and a LOT of chainsaw. I agree with not distorting the pattern too much, but I would defiantly work the edges a bit. Are you using a press? if so...

When sharpening a chisel grind, does it require any sharpening from the zero side? Im new to these, and wanting to do some neck knives with a chisel grind. just wondering. Thanks and God Bless Mike

Percy I would be interested in a rolling mill! If you have one for sale, please shoot me a PM. Thanks and God Bless Mike

If you are tight on $$ (and who isn't?) and you cant understand how you can get $120 worth of use out of a file guide, my advise would be "TRY ONE" ask for one at Christmas, a birthday, fathers day whatever! I have never had the success cutting blade bevels as I do now. Is it a jig, or a crutch...

Is the blade already ground? If not, Flux bring to welding heat then weld the cracks shut. Possibly grind them out and re forge? God Bless Mike
