Hello KD, Recently while searching for inspiration I noticed a "Sporting Bowie" on Mr Fisk's website. I really like the idea of a single guard Bowie knife for sport and camp use so I did one of my own from Aldo's 1075. It's 14 1/4" long with a 9 1/4" blade. My first attempt at a clamshell...

That's a beauty Bruce. A real "double threat". Sheath as well. Congrats also on your success in Arkansas.

Wow, somebody did their homework. That is an Ubergrinder. Well done. I was going to comment on the rubber drive wheel. It's a change I plan on making to my KMG. With the 3 horse motor, direct drive, and the rubber wheel you're getting all that hp to the "rear wheels". I just got a 3 hp motor...

Thanks Doug. I still intend on making something for you to engrave for me.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind comments. You guys have me wondering about that butt cap.

Greetings KD, Here's a little Bowie sized to carry in the field. It's just under 11" with a 5 3/4" 1095 blade. A bit of file work and a quarter mokume spacer to dress it up a bit. Handle is Axis. I welcome your comments. Thanks for looking, David

I certainly don't have Mr Cashen's encyclopedia-like knowledge of HT data but I can give my own experience on this subject. Lots of time trying various quenchants on 40 feet of several thicknesses of 1095 brought me to these conclusions: - 1095 does not properly and/or reliably ht in peanut...

Really nice work. David

Here's a great pic by Coop. Hope he doesn't mind me linking to it.

Thanks Professor. It's 3/16".

Thanks guys.

Last week while ordering belts from Pop's I started to order some J-flex belts. Like most I like the high flex backing but the belts are pretty short-lived. I saw Pop had another J weight belt from 3M so I ordered some. If you have never tried the 3M Regalite 707E you owe it to yourself to...

Thanks Keith. Glad to hear you like it.

Thanks Marvin. The j-flex along the underside of the handle really cleaned things up. Eric, I appreciate that. Always nice to get your feedback. Steve, I know what you mean. This design always caught my eye as a kid so I really enjoyed doing this one. Thanks again all,

Thanks John. After I posted I did a search on Sharpfinger and saw your knives. Very nice work. This is a fun little blade to make, huh? Take care

Hi Dogs, I always liked the Sharpfinger design so I thought I'd make my own. This one is in 1095 with Axis handle. Hope you like it.

Thanks Keith. I kinda liked it too and I think it gives a small measure of protection against surface rust and spotting. David

Nothing too special really Eric. I started with yellow mustard and used my fingertip to apply a uniform pattern of dots trying to get some type of damascus-like pattern. Did that twice then applied the bluing. I did find that the thinner the mustard was applied the more it printed the steel...

Oops! Sorry, I thought I read your entire post. And your phraseology was at least as correct as mine was. I stand corrected sir. David
