Their rendition of Unforgiven and Fade to Black are amazing!!!! I love it !! Trans Siberian Orchestra is great and their concert is a heck of a show, gotta say after hearing Apocalyptica now I think they beat them though :)

Massive Metallica fan here, i just found the post and i had never heard of Apocalyptica before, and now i just went nuts on my iphone getting some tunes from em !! before i saw this i thought the only way i could get heavy metal and symphony mixed was Metallica S&M album or trans siberian...

Awesome, very impressive like all of em ay make, i love the wood also looks great

I built 3 knives last year in Elmax using USA's heat treat recipe and i was very pleased with them. they were able to whip through deer and hogs with no sharpening needed, i did have to resharpen a time or two on some elk but part of that was it was my first time with elk and i had NO IDEA what...

I was thinking of wrought iron, i have never worked with it before so i was unsure of it. After seeing some other post with mild steel i thought about using that and peening (sp?) it and etching it to give it a worn look but i was unsure of how good it would resist rusting as this guy will be...

I am making a knife for a buddy of mine and i am wanting to do bolsters and a end cap and i want them to be kind of old looking i was gonna use stainless or carbon steel and just etch it but i didnt know if there was anything that anyone thought might look better. i thought about wrought...

So i worked on the finish a little bit and got it more of the way i want. I wanted the blade to have a nice gray patina'd look to it and a very dark hamon and im pretty happy with it now couple o pic's critique's are welcome thanks steve

Thank ya guys I went after the blade with some 000 rubbing polish tonight while watching the OKC Thunder kick butt (or stress me out lol) I got the blade a little more like i am thinking i want my finish to be, i will post some pics tomorrow and yall let me know what ya think thanks steve

Very classy, nice clean looking knife

Thank ya! Ya im pretty happy with this one, like i said i would like to really get decided on which way i want to etch my blades. I really like the dark etch like this, i just have to find a way to get the hardened edge the way i like it, this i close but just not quite right yet. Thanks...

Thank you all Ya i get a lot of request for the orange G10 handles, part in fact that when, not if, ya drop em you can find it, but more importantly most want orange and black for OSU football and wrestling. I really like these since they work well for there given task, there easy to carry...

I finished this one up over the weekend, its my Huntsman model, 8" OAL with a fore finger rest in front of he guard. this is my first time trying mammoth ivory, i love the way the stuff looks though it does present a few challenges in working it. I tried to seal any small cracks i found with...

Heres a couple more Mcam G10 and red 1/8" liners, CPM154, Convex ground Black and OD Green G10, CPM154, Convex ground thanks steve

That is awesome, the copper, the fittings, the musk ox, the whole thing is awesome!!!! just wow ! steve

Since mammoth ivory is in the beginning stages of fossilization does it expand and contract in humidity ?? i would have thought it would be pretty stable since it is mineralized (sp?) steve

thanks, the pins were a pain in the butt the way i do them. I take them in and out several times and pins that small bend easily I just realized the temper lines in the second knife look like crap, they actually look very nice in person, i will try to get some better pics tomorrow thanks...

Beautiful !!! I love mammoth ivory, im about to have my first try with it and i cant wait, i hope mine turns out half as nice as yours! great job

Hi guys I finished these up today for a couple of buddies, this is my Lil Boogie design of knife ( i call my son lil boogie when he was tiny and small and since these knives are small fat and tough to break like him i call them the same). This is the Skinner EDC model, i do another one with...

Ya it was expressed to me that the simple steels should go straight from the quench to a temper cycle it is after this initial quench i do a cryo treatment, again i am not sure if it helps anything but i figure if it breaks then it was meant to be and if not then maybe just maybe it may hold...

I may be wrong but my understanding of a "snap temper" would be a short temper cycle (1hr) at a temperature about 25deg below the temperature you intend to temper with, example if you were going to temper for 2hrs at 400deg you would snap temper for 1 hr at 375 but i could be completely wrong...
