    Full on tactical - yes, i'm trying new stuff :)

    Wow! Very cool looking. I like the rope cutter built into the handle.. is that "skull crusher" at the butt sharpened too? Or is it just rounded off to a point?

    How do I go about squaring up my press table?

    Well I noticed it when I drilled a set of scales for corbys. It was a set of book matched scales and I had one that drilled fine. The other didn't :confused:. I don't know what the cause of that would be. I do know when I put a bit in the chuck and try wiggling it... It wiggles and clunks...

    How do I go about squaring up my press table?

    Okay I see where you're coming from. However if I can wiggle the chuck and hear it clunking around also how do I go about determining where my problem lies? I know it's inconsistent because I drilled a few holes to put Corby rivets in. The first hole came out fine, the second hole is a bit on...

    How do I go about squaring up my press table?

    Well I think the problem isn't as much the table as it is the quill upon further inspection. Instead of spinning the chuck someone suggested to try spinning the table. When I did that with the coat hanger trick it was pretty much spot on. Then I put a bit in the chuck grabbed it and tried...

    Make a Grinding Magnet

    I have one of these only mine has a hole in the center, although I mostly use it when sanding the flats. When you set it on the 45 side you can put your ring finger through the hole. Rest your other hand on top and really lean into sanding on my surface plate. I've never tried using a magnet...

    How do I go about squaring up my press table?

    So after seeing the holes I made in my first set of scales and say the Corby's line up I took for granted that I was squared up. Last night I took another pair of scales drilled them for a knife, everything turned out great.....Except one of the bolts doesn't sit perfectly straight. So I need to...

    Yeah but keep in mind if this lunacy actually takes hold there, that means that this can potentially be done in any state.

    Japanese sword tang stamp?

    My first guess was it Japanese for "Made in Japan". But I'm pretty sure Murph's assessment is better :D

    Paragon Sports NYC Raided!!!

    You can take basically ANY folding knife and, by holding the blade, flick it open with your wrist. So technically something like a slippie is considered a "gravity knife"? Seems that certain peoples sense of priorities are a bit screwy sometimes. Reminds me of how I occasionally walk into a...

    Outrage: NYC DA Shakes Down Knife Retailers

    Absolutely insane. Aren't there a bit more pressing issues to be dealt with in this country that don't involve pocket knives? Maybe they should devote their time to something that is a bit more of a problem like, oh I don't know, how about all the illegal guns that run rampant on the streets...

    Jigs: Curse or Cure?

    This is one of those debates that can go in forever. Like some have said there are people who believe that "doing it the way they had to do it". And others that don't think it's necessary to screw up "x" amount of blades and whatnot either. Take woodworking for example there are jigs used all...

    Kudos to Peter's Heat Treat

    Even though a lot of you guys I'm sure are familiar with Brad over at Peter's HT but for those who aren't you really should become more familiar. I had a few blades, one in particular that is ment for a Fathers Day present. I got them out to Brad on a fairly short notice and he came through...

    Little something I whipped up on a trial piece of handle material.

    Thanks, I was going to do that but I figured if I did that I would have a heck of a time polishing up the top part of the heart. And I didn't want to keep screwing/unscrewing the eyelet every time I changed grits. Few people suggested hot gluing it to something like a popsicle stick. Maybe try...
