    bolts for handle material

    I personally like loveless bolts. Stronger than corbys, though not as clean looking. Acorn nuts are also awesome. I highly recommend Jeff, from jephco http://www.jephcosupply.com/products%20-%20hardware/hardware.html

    lanyard hole problems

    So I finished 20 blanks before heat treat, pin hole and lanyard hole drilled. They all came back from heat treat at 61rc. My problem, is my lanyard stock wont fit. I used a 1/4 cobalt bit before heat treat, then checked with the same bit after and the hole didnt shrink. However, solid rods...

    Hollow grinding!?

    Roger, more to let me see what tilting the handle this way vs pulling it or rotating it will do to said grind. I use sharp cheap so belts and slow speed. I learn by doing. This helps.

    Hollow grinding!?

    Alright, finally got myself a 12" contact wheel. Curious if some of your more accomplished makers could help me out with the concept. I see some people just pull the blade across the wheel(edge up) and then pull the handle towards themselves when they hit the belly of the blade. Others I...

    Pins for handles

    Man, just pick up an order of stainless steel machine screws. Easy to ship, can get 50-100 for $10 plus $8 shipping and you are set. I like the size 5-40 because i can use a 1/8 drill bit and it fits perfect

    Sandvik steels

    Honestly, I really like Elmax. But I dont think it warrants the price difference. I agree with rolynd. Most people judge aeb-l and 12c27 when tempered too soft (57-58) 60-61 its a whole nother animal.

    Sandvik steels

    I personally like AEB-L (similar to 12c27) it performs above and beyond 440C in my opinion. 440C isnt bad, but the carbide size is vastly different. I suppose it comes down to do you like a knife that holds a dull edge for a longer time(440C) or a VERY sharp edge that doesnt hold it as...
