Almost finished with these two EDC fixed blades and a chef's knife. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the replies. It was facial hair I think. I shaved and I haven't had an issue. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

That's the one I have. It is the right size and I replace the filters often. Maybe my dust is extra crappy..... Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I've been using a 3m respirator for a while. Last night I used a cut off wheel, outside, to cut some kitchen knives out of a sheet of steel. I wore all my eye and breathing protection. But later that night I still had black crap coming out of my nose. I obviously need better protection...

Finished another blade made from the heirloom Damascus made from grandads workbench bolts. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Thanks Wayne. I etched my mark. I have a stamp, but I can just never get it to work well. I need some sort of press to use it with I think. The couple knives I've tried to use the stamp on got ruined. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

A friend of mine wanted a Rambo type knife. So I ordered the ha for from USA Knife Maker and went to work. I think it turned out pretty well. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I figure since this thread has been so active, I'd pass along that I was successful at my first attempt to forge a corkscrew. It's a pretty cool thing to put together in a short amount of time. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Ok....I will ordered some O1 and A2 tool steel rods. See how this goes. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I was curious as to what thickness and type of steel I should use to make a corkscrew. Also what hardness would be recommended? I figured a tool steel would be fine, but I'd like to only make a small pile of bad corkscrews before I am successful! I know buying one is easier. But I had a...

Just discovered scotch brite belts. Love them. This is my newest design for a pack knife/ bush craft knife. I used 8670 steel. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I did some looking around at a few sites I buy steel from and found some steel that is BARELY bigger than the slot. I don't own a mill and do not want to risk filling the slot myself. So this will work I think. I have a friend that has his own mill that I'll most likely ask to...

So much for spell check not liking "survival." But yeah, a survical blade.... Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I have a friend that wants a "Rambo" knife. So I ordered the survival knife handle tube from USA knife. The slot in the end cap is .20 wide/ blade thickness. What thickness blade steel would anyone recommend? It's not like I can order steel that's 1/5 of an inch thick. I don't like...

This is an awesome video. Thanks for posting it. That's a really cool way to add so.ething different to copper. I'll be saving this one for sure. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

In my opinion, and I've dealt with Texas kms, I have not been overly impressed with their customer service. I'd use Peters heat treat. I also agree with the previous poster that mentioned aluminum blocks for air quenching 440c. A fillet knife is too thin to just heat treat and let hang to...
