I'll check and see what I have that's close to that and get back to you later today. Can you forge it to size or do you need it close to the size you stated?

I've got a pretty good supply of it. I have not etched any of it, but it is pretty good stuff I'm told. It all came from a friend of mine who worked for the railroad, and he said they didn't skimp on quality. What size are you looking for? I should be able to help you out.

Good looking work Tim. Welcome to the forum.

I'm kind of liking the second one. Maybe Peter will let me hold it in my hand this weekend??

Oh I like that one a lot Daniel. Nicely done. Very nice hamon, and the wood choice/combination is outstanding.

Hi John, welcome to our pound. Sometimes us dogs growl but we never bite.

C Craft, for soldering I just use the propane cylinder, no oxygen with it. But I'm doing silver solder which low a low temperature melting point. That allows you to solder the guard on a heat treated blade without ruining the heat treat. I use the smallest tip I can find for it, and it works...

That is a good looking knife Keith. Well done.

Daniel, I think you may have stepped over to the dark side, making puukko knives. That really looks nice so far. I'm eager to see it finished.

Very nice work Robert. I like that one a LOT.

If you are the person I remember, I think you did. But I was living in St Paul at the time, south of the 3M complex. I'm an hour northwest of the TC now in western WI.

springer82, where in MN are you located? I just noticed that is where you are from.

Jim a few photos would be great when you have the time. I'll snap a few pictures for you this week and post them here.

Well, I admit I'm a big fan of puukko knives. And you are right, they are not posted here much at all. I've been lucky enough to have Kay Vicstrom hold classes in my area, and I took at total of 3 from him. Ya, I'm a slow learner. I've currently got 5 on my bench that will go to the Badger...

Daniel, you are wrong about that. You are doing some great work, and a lot of people are taking notice.

I have a new style 25 lb. Little Giant and I'd be glad to snap some pictures of how the guard is mounted on it if you would like me to. I did not put it on, as it was already installed when I got it. It does however have the expanded mesh on it, which I will change before using it again...

That is a nice one John. I really like the straight drop versus the rounded drop profile. That one is just a beauty.

He will like that one for sure. Nicely done.

Daniel, you should be proud of that one. They just keep getting better and better. Looking forward to the next one.

I have only dabbled in slippies, and use what I have on hand. .050 Ti mostly, because I can color it and I also have some .040 410 stainless that looks good for what I do.
