Matt, with the new direct drive change, would you go with a KMG again? How well do you like the extra tooling arm?

Ed, do you use any horizontal grinders at all? with the direct drive would it be very hard to turn the KMG into a horizontal grinder aswell?

Forged our a couple knives yesterday! A damascus one and a 1095. Cutting out a bunch of knives

Ben, May I ask what that little measuring tool is called?

That's looking pretty good Justin! I like that your sharing some of the failures as well, that doesn't get done enough.....anywhere. This is my latest knife. I have been struggling to finish knives because I keep starting new things and it seems like knives never get finished; however, I did...

Looking good Justin!

Thanks Don! I'll give that a try on the next one. What do you mean by "Protect your pivot"?

Not sure if that's a good thing or not, haha. I'll try see what I can come up with, thanks! Thanks John! EDIT: HEY! your on Instagram now! sweet!

I'm typing this from my phone so it might be a bit brief. Anyhow, this is my second slipjoint to date. The action on this one is beautiful. I love it. I'm really looking forward to making more. I used some .005" bronze washers on this one and it worked out great. It's about 4 1/2" long when...

Things I learned: - I now relatively understand how everything works together and that is what was bothering me. -What NOT to do -The best order of process(or closer to it) -What I want to do next time -A surface grinder would make life SO MUCH BETTER -Friction cutting titanium works...

There are more pictures on the Instagram and also a short video of it. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Soo...this is the same scenario as the slip joint thread! Okay, well this hasn't really been a build along like I planed...cause I have gotten side tracked and just haven't really updated this thread. I have been posting most of the build pictures in my Instagram but that doesn't work to good...
