Recently i have done a couple of blades with a dark acid etch on stainless steel. I have taken these blades and ran them through my stonewash tumbler to give a nice slate look to the steel. I have had luck with a forced acid patina really improving the rust resistance of 1095 carbon steel and...

Congrats!!!!!

A forum member asked me a question and i decided to post it on here instead of straight to him for 2 reasons. First reason being that from what i understand now i the wharncliffe blade is actually more than likely a Sheeps Foot design. I had always heard the name "wharncliffe" but until the...

Glad ya like them, OSU orange is pretty big around here so it goes over pretty well :) , that and when ya drop the knife its a little easier to find. But i know what your saying, i have had a few people want me to make them yellow handles and the color always seems to give me a...

Just finished these two up today, the bottom one is a modification of a EDC knife i make all the time and the top one is my first Wharncliffe blade. I havent made a knife for myself in a long while and i needed one that was good for opening ammo boxes and stuff all day long at my job and i...

Very nice, i love the wood!!!

Looks great, nice lines on the hamon!! I use ferric for my etching which works a lot quicker but i am gonna have to try white vinegar to see if i can get that defined of a line like you have , it looks great. I have had good luck using some 000 and 0000 rubbing furniture polish i got from...

Thank ya Travis Ya Larry is a good guy, i think i have seen a few of your knives in there when i been at his place jawing with him, your knives looked great!! I always love getting to go by Larry's shop and BS with him for a while, not to mention that fresh leather always smells so much...

I mark both sides, left and right. On some of the tactical type knives where i usually put the steel designation i do the makers mark on the left of presentation side or i still do both sides if there is enough room and it doesnt look crowded. On the more "pretty" based knives i do it on both...

I just got this back today from Larry Parsons Saddle Shop, im very happy with the sheath he made for it. Just figured i would show it off one more time before i pass it on to the new owner let me know what ya think thanks steve

Just got this one done today. the original design was for some really nice buckeye burl on the handle but i screwed that up royally and cost myself some nice wood. After that debacle i thought that maybe some elk antler would help the mammoth tusk standout. While i was splitting some elk...

awesome,!!!! amazing all over, i wish i could figure out how to to get the pins that flush without leaving any marks on mammoth, beautiful!!

Thanks for the info Currently i have a gallon bucket underneath to catch steel shavings so i guess i would have to make something where i could inter change the two, the bucket for steel and the vacuum for the handle material?? thanks steve

Hi everybody I have been working with a lot of G10 lately and my usual method is to turn a large box fan on to blow on high across my grinder and out of my garage which is my work shop. I would love to set up some kind of vacuum system with a funnel directly beneath my grinder but i am...

Awesome!!!!

I have never used walrus but as with other ivory or most horn and tooth i would say the most important thing would be to use a fresh belt and work slowly, dont let the stuff get hot. that was the best info i got when i was asking how to work with mammoth ivory and i would figure it would follow...
