How does one test the sharpness of a gut hook.? I've used a dremel stone and 220 and 320 grit on a round file, but I can't tell if it will cut a gut. Don't have any spare Guts hanging around.:biggrin: What do you guys use to test?

Yeah the guys doesn't quite know what he's talking about as far as the damascus goes. Why would they do that? I use steel from large bandsaws quite a bit and they make good filet knives. I would only buy some if they were really cheap, not for what he's asking. Just buy some good steel and know...

Perfect in every way. Didn't know warthog came that straight? What iv'e got is way too curved.

Hey George. Get another surgeon. He's supposed to take that vein from your leg. Seriously, you'll do fine. Mine was a 4way.

Hey, I held that one at the Reno Gun & Knife Show. Nice Knife. Was nice talking to you Kelley. Ken

I wqould have done that, but client sent a drawing with slots, so that's what I'm doing. A loop sure would have been easier.

Thanks Murphda2. I'll give that a try.

What's your way to make a neat slot in your Kydex Sheath. First time to try this.

Hmm. Saw this about Mobil one and thought that a 100% synthetic. So is Amsoil and quite a few others. I happened to have 2 1/2 gals. of Amsoil and was hand sanding a Kitchen Knife for a xmas present. Poured a little in a cap for a spray bottle and took it to the blade. Worked like a charm...

Got my 1.5 HP motor at a Farm Supply store. Good price and works fine for me.

Well I really wacked mine and also heated it up good and still couldn't get it to budge. I could have cut the pommel I guess, but I was trying to just disassemble it and not damage it. Don't believe it was made to take apart. I think it was swaged on to stay put.

OK. Thought you might have found the secret. Doubt there was adhesive or a pin. Pommel might have been put on Hot and hit or something. I'm sure someone knows.

Sounds neat. How much copper do you add to the etchant?

How was the Pommel attached to the Tang?

I almost bought the Coote, but built a NWG and love it. The coote is more expensive than the Griz as you provide the motor. It can be set up with pulleys where the Griz cannot without a lot of modifications. I have griz also and still use it for some things.

It's not easy. I gave up trying to remove the pommel and refurbish one. The tang and pommel are extremely hard and I guess the tang is peened. I'd like to know if it can be done also.

Keep it up Darci. Good on both the Knives and grades.

Welcome. Nice to see more Out West Guys here.;)

Thanks for the tip on the furnace cement. I was wondering if I should use some. I have it so I will use it to cement things together. Just getting started on mine.

Hey Les, before you stimulate that guys economy google DIY LLC. Don't think it's all that difficult. Ken
