Yah, I watched the youtube video of this process... takes A LONG TIME...but it seems to be the "right way" to make knives. I guess I will throw out my plans for making a forge...

Rudy funny you say that...maybe my brain is broken, but it is actually hard to look at it upside-down... weird.. Art, looks great. I like all the "personality" you gave this knife. The shape is unique, but not awkward. You did a great job! - J

Bodam, great job. Your knives are really coming around! I like your simple and clean leatherwork also. Keep it up! - J

I would like to chime in here with a question about the power supply. I am about to purchase either a personalizer or build one from the plans on Ernies site. Obviously there is a cost difference, and that is important to me. However, if there is a quality difference, or long term benefit to...

Hello Knifeguy, You found more than a decent knife discussion place! There are other bigger forums, but if you are serious about knife making and getting great help, this is the place to be. It is also family friendly which is important to me. I was really surprised to see all the bad...

Jesse, It is great to see that you have expanded your work. In Outlaw Garage you made reference that you had spent quite a bit of time understanding the old ways of metalwork. This seems to be a natural transition into what you are doing now. I hope you take the challenge to do a knife to go...

Super Interesting. I am just starting to think about building a press. 30 to 40 tons seems about right from what I have seen. For you more experienced Dogs... is there any advantage to a horizontal press??? - J

I made my first knife back in March with this set up. I think I still have the blisters on my hands... It took me about an hour a side, and I was using 1/8" 01Tool steel. I think you are on the right track, but will be at it for a while longer!!! If by meditative, you mean, makes you feel...

Hey Josh! Welcome to the forum. I am looking forward to seeing your work. You could post some on this thread... - J

Mud, that is hilarious...I can TOTALLY see that happening!!!! - J

Hey Bodham, I have made a few sheaths using the techniques found in this video series. I did not choose to make this same style sheath, but this guy does a great job explaining the tools and techniques! All my sheaths have turned out pretty good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMizmEcj_k0 - J

Being a newer maker, I totally agree with Ed. I just finished my 5th knife, and I really desire to try new and more complex things. But here is my goal for each new knife: Try a new design with small changes as I make the basis for each knife better. To me it is critical that I get plunge...

Hey Jon, Looks like you are on the right track! I would love to see some more detailed pictures of this knife. I am twice your age and just started making knives also. I wish I would have started 20 years ago! - Jason

That is an amazing piece of work. It makes me excited to try a folder some day! - J
