It's amazing all of the stupid mistakes I made on this one. Oh well, on to the next one.

I moved last year and recently finished putting my shop back together. I finally got to make a knife. Here is a 440c blade with micarta scales and brass pins.

I'm looking pretty hard at imgur.com. free, let's you embed easily. I wonder if I could use my own website too? I'll look into that later. Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

Wishing for more tools is common. I made my first knife with a couple of files and a drill, I now have a shop full of tools and I want some more.

How do you get the angled plunge? Are you using a file guide? Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

First knife with bolsters. Number 4 overall Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

I really like this.

I read somewhere recently about another maker who used a top kiln. He put some firebrick in the bottom to raise the knives up so he didn't have as much difficulty getting them out. I don't remember who it was or where I read it. Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

Pretty nice work Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

Dumb question. Do you clamp the blank between the plates or just use gravity. I would thing that pressure would help eliminate the gals Ed was commenting on in this earlier post. Mark Huston Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone for the help.

Where is a good place to get quench plates. What exactly am I looking for? Mark Huston Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Doug, that's a good idea. Mark Huston Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a 40mm ammo can for my parks 50. It holds several gallons, is metal, and seals when I put it away so no leakage. I picked it up at a local surplus store for $20. Mark Huston Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very impressive. I especially like the sheath work.
