Just try taking a blank piece of stock and grind away on it. The shape will come to you ! The reason I got into making knives, was I knew when I was finished it was the only one like it, on this planet ! If you screw up your not the only one who has:biggrin::biggrin: P.S. Your knives aren't...

They are really nice ! :35: Love the look and finish !:35:

I"LL give it a try, leaving for Alaska in 2 weeks, lot of thing to do, but I'll try my darnest. Need some more lessons and want to see. I also finished the 440 C knives and want your opinion :happy:

"We talked about those short cuts! No pun intended. Glad your wife was home and your are alright. Have you melted the Kevlar gloves while grinding?" I haven't melted them Yet :what!: But, I have noticed that when running my buffer I have a better grip on the knife :biggrin: If my wife...

I was working the other night in my shop. What I was going to do would only take a few minutes, so I opted to not wear my gloves (What a big mistake!!!!!!) I slipped with a chisel which I had just sharpen the other day. It went into my hand as if it was butter. I was lucky to have my wife...

I have been using the 50/50 mix ever since you told me about it :happy: Works great ! I never worry about rusty or spotted blades. I can set the blades down and not do anything for several days.When I start again there still as clean as when I left them !

Look good too me!!!!!!! I made a few file knives and like the way they turned out. Can't argue with the prices of the old files, I pick them up for anywhere from .50 cents to a couple of dollars. I always make sure there, USA made.

I was at Laurance's shop in Santa Monica today Visiting and picking up some 440C blanks that he had heat treated for me. We started talking about Scale material. I told him I was offered some Rosewood scrap from a large remodel. He told me to be careful with that stuff, because he became sick...

Wow ! I am green with envey ! :D . Randy is a great guy ! I am sure you got it for a smokin price:s12138::s12138:

I like the fish eye effect also! Personality is what this blade has :35:

Thats a good question ! I have been wondering the same thing. So far I have been using green and white buffing compound for polishing. I then follow up with a metal polish such as MAAS on the blade.

Great Idea, can't wait to see a completed knife !

Beautiful !!!!! Don't think I would sell it either !

My Wife did the same thing :lol:, but since doing this little project, haven't heard any complaints:biggrin: or my brain switch turns off, when she talks to me about the dust:3:

I'll Take 440 if it's available :biggrin:

Hi Randy, Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about the Knife blank you sent me. My thumb is coming along, but I am having trouble holding a blank to the platen. Just don't want to ruin that blank doing something stupid:sweatdrop:. So I am in the learning process of using this Thumb...

Just can't beat the price:s12205: for cleaner air when your grinding. Remember you still need a respirator :s11798:

Hope these pictures give you an idea what I did :biggrin:

Laurence, After trying this at your shop the other day, I used antifreeze in my dunk bucket. One big thing I noticed was after dunking my 1095 blades, I am not getting any rust on the blades after they sit over night !
