WOW! I love that. Both are great makers

I'm going to try and come! hopefully I can swing it.

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I appreciate that. (I spelled some of your names wrong too....my bad)

Thanks, John. I appreciate that. Nobody(or few) knew I was this young for a reason. I never published the fact and I still probably won't more that this. I didn't like the idea of people having a distorted perspective of my me, my work, or the advise I might give(for good or bad) because of...

Hey Guys! I have been around this forums for a while but I figured I never really introduced myself very well...or at least left out some details that I would like to share now. My name is Daniel Rohde(Pronounced Rode-EE), I'm a custom knifemaker, born in Fort Collins, Colorado but have grown...

Hey Guys! I just got back from the KD hammer in 2016 and I just wanted to thank Tracy and his whole crew for the great time I had. They were a pleasure to be around and they we VERY helpful. Great guys all around and a great event in general! I admit to being a touch nervous going but it was...

Gased up and ready to go! See you guys in a couple hours Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I'm not positive what the metal is but its about .005" shim stock of some sort... it could be aluminum shim? Maybe? I really like the ascent it adds to the handle, it really makes it pop IMO

I don't really use either:les: but I would use cork if I did....

Thanks John! I really like the transition zones in the steel too! there tricky to get to come out just right but very rewarding when they do. I'm not sure what you mean by stacked spacers? I added the G10 liners and such to the scales if that what you mean.

Two I have been working on lately:

Right on.

I'll do that! I look forward to meeting you aswell!

Simple and elegant. I like it! nice jigging too!

Wowzers! niffty! :biggrin:

I will be coming from Winona MN. First time coming but I'm really looking forward to it. It will be great to put some of these names to faces. I probably won't be there till early Saturday though.

What do you mean when you say a pattern will often need to be redesigned when you use bearings?

Thank you! I'll stick with washer for now.

I want to try a take down field knife(like J.Doyle does....all the time) and I believe using guide pins in the guard/spacer/handle is the way to go, but how do you layout where to drill your holes in the block and or guard for the pins? how many pins do you normally use?

Hey Guys! I'm starting some new liner lock folders and trying to decide whether to use bronze washers again or get some counterbores and use bearings. What are the benefits of using bearings for the pivot? I feel like washers are "tougher" but I may be completely wrong. Thoughts? why use one...
