I've been to 2 shows now and this is what I learned... 1. I'm glad I joined KNIFEDOGS. 2. Knife people are some of the nicest people I ever met. 3. Network, Network, Network! 4. Pay it forward. (I'll never forget all the people who helped me. THANK YOU!) I tell everybody about knifedogs. 5. I...

I'll be there on Saturday. I'll be wearing a KnifeDog tee shirt and I'm bringing my artwork. Looking forward to meeting you Bill, Rudy, Chuck and Indian George.

HaHa! Thanks, Bob. I bought mine- new, just yesterday.

Thanks a lot Rudy. I'll keep an eye out for you guys. Cathy

I'm going to be attending as many knife shows as I can in my area, and I want a KnifeDog tee shirt so I can support my Pack and find other members. Nobody I talked to at the show in Wallingford, CT knew about Us. I'm going to the show in Mystic, and I want to be able to find other members there...

Hi Please Help me out. I just attended my first knife show. I brought some of the knives I posted pictures of in the Art Deco forum. The feedback I got was that I need to chose a better quality production knife like Buck or Canal Street Cutlery or work with a Custom Knife Maker. (Maybe that's...

If these knives were full sized they would impress me, the fact that they aren't made my jaw hit the floor. (I just picked it up, wiping off the drool now) Cathy

Thanks Bill. Maybe I'll be able to make that one also. I live closer to Wallingford. That one is put on by Northeastgunshows.com

I'm not promoting any thing here, just curious if any Knife Dog members will be at the Gun and Knife show April 9th & 10th in Wallingford CT? I'm hoping to go on the 10th just to look around and thought it would be nice to say 'Hi', if any of the pack members are attending. Cathy

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I'm not a knife maker and until 4 months ago, I never thought of a knife as a blank slate for my artwork, so I have a lot to learn. That's why I'm glad I joined Knife Dogs. I'll be posting pictures of this carved polished stag Hen & Rooster soon. This one...

It leaves residue and I need to protect my finished work also.

I'm almost finished carving my 1st fixed blade knife and I have more cuts than I can count. I don't want to use tape to cover the blade. Does any one know what engravers use to protect the rest of the knife while working? I have more fixed blades to work on and I don't want to leave my DNA on...

I'm new here, and especially being a woman in a man's world, I feel like I found a home. Lots of nice people. Lots of Talented People. Lots of good advice. If you can't find it here, you haven't looked hard enough! Cathy DeFelice

Thanks Dan and Ernie for your advice. I've been reading old posts on pricing work and I've made a decision. If the price I'm going to ask for is too high, they'll let me know. If it's too low, and they don't bat an eye, it's a learning experience. My customers will win because their knife will...

Jim Frost/Cutlery Corner just called me and asked how much I would charge him for 30 of these saddlehorn trappers. It took about 12 hours to do this one. I would be able to knock another 1 to 2 hours off after the 1st 5 knifes maybe. How much should I ask. I need to call him back right away...

I want to give a big WOOF (Big dogs speak loud!) to all the pack members for all the encouraging words especially to BOSS DOG and all the LEAD DOGS. It means a lot to me. THANK YOU!

Hi Kris, my name is Cathy DeFelice. I just joined KnifeDogs and saw your name in a post. Steve Kanoff sent me pictures of your knife work and I checked out your website. Nice! I'd like to learn how to do file work. I also agree with your views on buying from china. Steve sent me the Ocoee River...

Hi Steve, Thanks for a the encouraging comments. My name is Catherine DeFelice and I love this forum! (you can call me Cathy) I am very comfortable with bone. I just ordered a Hen & Rooster polished stag bowie to try. I am a jack-of-all-trades. Pen & Ink is my favorite medium and I'm learning...

Thank you all for your nice comments! Makes me feel at home. I just learned that you have a blog area. I received a new camera for Christmas and would love to post more of my work.

Hi Everyone, I tried another knife forum hoping to get some comments on my work, but it didn't seem as friendly as this forum. Plus, there's a place for women knife enthusiasts! My husband asked me to carve a bone handled knife for him. I loved it so much, I've done 3 more in less than a month...
