I say go, reserve a wheel chair or rent a scooter so you can see it at your pace a leisure. Then post pics of all the cool stuff for those of us who can't be there. :)

Another good trip.

Most of them are sold as dog chew toys. Some become chandeliers and furniture. Just the white and chalk horns from three trips netted me 383$. I kept the brown ones for now. Decent sized brown ones sell for 60-100 per side. If you find a real big one the. It becomes desirable for taxedermy...

well thought out. I would think that the tip would get pokey in the pocket. Any trouble with that?

Most of the shed hunters around here focus on the Mule deer. But they are smaller and harder to spot and I despise seeing other people when I'm out hunting, I head for the far away canyons. Plus Mule brown deer horns go for about 10$lb and elk 9$ so an elk shed is much more valuable. A elk...

I look forward to shed season all year, On Wednesday I went shed hunting and found 5 sheds including the first brown shed for the season. It was a big 7 point bull. I ran back out today to see if I could find the other side. My previous record for elk sheds was 7 in one day. Not that...

Well said! That should be my sig line LOL. The last 4 knives I've made, and People keep asking what practical use they have...Now I have an answer. lol

Thanks Lagrange, I appreciate the input. A little too aggressive is what I was going for, it is built from tip to butt to be a fighter, and I researched quite a bit on this one. I'll take that comment as a compliment. :) And thanks LiamLynch, there are far too few people willing to take the...

If you are talking about the scratches in the top of the riccasso I have found that they are usually caused by not being flat on the platen. Make sure the last few passes are flat. I always start hand sanding at 150 grit.

Alabama Buckshot Damascus fighter. Grey Oak Burl Handle. My favorite I've made so Far. What do you think? Now to get some leather on it.

Thanks Shokr, ready for a sheath... I'll take better pics in the light tomorrow.

here is what I have found is the best method for etching a large blade. Vinegar in a cheap pan (didn't borrow the wife's pan ;) ) in oven at 215 degrees. Flip in 5 minutes then at 10 minutes remove oxides with steel wool. 2 or 3 10 minutes etches is plenty. Vinegar is easier and cheaper...

wow, just wow. 100+ The Guard and blade are etched and nearly done. This one truly has to be "in hand" to appreciate, it's amazing what it does in the light. :) It could possibly be done tomorrow.

This is sweet, I'm hoping for 100+

You are on the right track. All your questions can be answered by reading threads in this forum.

Good to know Doug, Thanks.

Not to put too fine a point on it, because this does answer the question of why you are better off buying a eutectic steel like 1080,1084, Some of the information is incorrect. I will respectfully make these points, This is how I understand it, so someone can correct me if I am wrong. 1, you...

Not wanting to get too far ahead on the KITH, I decided to make a similar knife, only out of Damascus. I bought a 3x15" piece of Alabama Buckshot Damascus. I decided to do the guard and Blade from the same material. There was enough to do this Blade, the guard and one more knife...

Looking good, I will be curious as to how you cut in the grind on the point. Will the ricasso area be trimmed back? It appears a bit wide by the guard.

Bowman, I'm self employed (read, poor lol) and work is only blocks from my house. I have to be here often, but I also get to be away alot as well, depending on who is working :) I was lucky when I started, I had a friend who had a old burr king 2X72 grinder in storage and about 5 years ago he...
