Thanks everyone. C Craft, thanks alot. This one did come out good. My best work so far I think. If you go by time, I am still green as mint tea. I made my first knife less than 4 months ago. If you go by number of knives made, well, I'm not all that new anymore, I lost count but this knife...

Appealing Design, good proportions handle to blade, nice choice of material and well executed. Then fitted with a nice sheath. Very nice work, carry on. The only slight thing since you are asking, is, like pointed out above, the pins. The staggered pins actually was a good choice IMO, but...

Many people start out with less. A 1X30 is a good way to start, many a fine knife has been made on one. and if you decide knife making is "your thing" then you can upgrade to a 2x72 at a later date. For handle shaping I do the same as with steel. Hog material with a 36, smooth it a little...

I'll try to help. 1 I think you are asking what grits to buy? If you are starting out I would recommnd you stay away from a 36 grit belt to start. It will cut too fast. I recommend starting with a 60 grit belt. I would say get. 60,80,150,220,400,600 and then hand sand from there. You can...

It is Finished, My brother told me he would like to make the sheath for this knife. He got a leather craft set for Christmas and thought he was up to the task. He brought it to me tonight and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. He did an outstanding job. Here it is.

very nice wood. Is that an edge quench hamon? Or a clay coat? I would call it a nice hunter.

It just meant I am oogling the Hells Belle knife on the cover of Bills Book. :)

I've been trying to find a decent piece of Damascus for a while now. I had my heart set on a feather pattern, but have not found any. The only place I could even find selling it had a very loose pattern that looked nothing like the feather I wanted. Plus they wanted 250$ + for a not very...

Thank you sir. Can I assume "Corker" is a good thing? Haha I have stressed over this knife like no other I have made. I literally have 4 different horns, 2 guards and several spacers that I have gone thru trying to get it right, and I needed some input... Thanks

Oh yeah, I had forgotten. :( It never fails to surprise me, the lack of participation of the people on knife websites. Heck, even if you hate it you could say so. Feedback is the purpose of most thread submissions. I'm guessing the lack of new posts on this forum is more that people are...

I have no-one to show me either. There are plenty of You tube videos you can watch. I simply made a forge from scrap, borrowed an anvil, and started hammering. Why wait for someone to come along and show you how?

Well, I've checked into this forum for several days and it hasn't got much going on, so,...I'll post something. Here is a knife I am making for a KITH. The KITH theme is "Fighter" (Still room and time for more in the KITH if anyone is so inclined) I wanted to make a C guard Fighter. Here is...

I want one. email sent

I keep trying to make contact to order one and get no response :(

My Only criticism is that with apicture the size of a postage stamp I can't see how nice It came out. :)

I like them, different design, but useful and unique. Can you show a shot of the pommels? How did you attach them?

Been waiting to see that makers mark on a blade. There it is even if it's only on paper... :) I got my stencils last night, and promptly messed up the mark on my EDC. I Did the knife I made for my wife first (she wanted to be first) it came out perfect, then I did My EDC and the stencil...

Good for you, keep us posted with some pics of your progress. I know how hard it is to slow down. Reminds me, I posted a pic of a knife I made that i thought was pretty good on a NON-knifemaking website. A custom knife maker sent me a personal message that said simply, "Looks like you need...

I do it before. Just so that there is no chance of the weld messing with my heat treat, although down on the tang there is little chance of that if done carefully.

Lol Rudy, It's still there I just filed it a little to give the spacer some character. It's hard to see in those pics. I like it the way it is, but I wish I had done some detail file work around it, That would have looked even better.
