Well I won't be making knives for awhile. On Wednesday I was cutting corian on the table saw for knife handles and waiting for my Grizzly knife making grinder to arrive when the corian kicked back on me and knocked my left thumb into the saw blade. I foolishly (my wife added that part) tried to...

Beautiful Knife !!!!!!!!!!!!! I too have been making knives from files. Love the way you can incorporate the file cuts into the design of the knife.

I was thinking about your idea:22:. I would think the higher RPM may be too much for the 1X 30 and cause you more problems. I have had a 1 X 30 for several months now and I understand the limitations your dealing with.

​Yesterday I was with my son-in-law, learning how to work with Kydex. He is just starting out, so it was a learning curve for the both of us. He wants to make his own tactical gear for his job with the LAPD (Holsters, mag holders, etc..) . When I came home I was looking At my email, when I...

I am posting on one of my first file knives :biggrin: I have a couple of more but haven't taken pictures yet. I left the pattern of the file on the blade. Thought it looked differant. The handle is made from Corian . Friend owns a cabinet shop so I get all of his scraps :biggrin: I started...

She a beauty!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I'll be on the look out for Chainsaw bars from now on! You don't know what type of steel it is ?

Thanks for the information. I'll be in Alaska this coming June and July. I guess I'll have too add Beach combing to my list. I have made many trips to Alaska and never thought of looking for Ivory, etc.......

I did use Saran wrap. But I read where you only need to keep the knife in the sheath for a couple of hours, before the sheath is formed. I did a stupid thing and unwrapped the knife, put it back in the sheath and got distracted.:s12138: I guess old age is catching up with me!

The leather is veggie tanned or so I was told at Tandy leather. Would putting Neat's' foot oil on the seath cause this problem also? Or is it safe to use neat's foot to waterproof the leather. Thanks for all the replys!

Today I forgot and left one of my file knife's in a sheath that I had just made and formed to the knife. This morning I pulled the knife out and noticed that it had rust on the blade:what!: I was able to buff the knife clean of rust. My question is what should I do or is it common for file...

Wow! I really like the knife !

Tobe honest with you I had no idea what "Choil" meant. Looked it up in the web and I learned something new for today:biggrin: Thanks for the suggestion, that why I like posting on and reading this forum. I never gave it much thought about balancing the look of the knife! I'll give it a try on...
