Thanks for the comments guys. Mark thanks for the comment on the fit and finish, I was really really pleased with the way I got my pearl to fit up to the bolsters. Frank thanks, hows the health holding up? I hadn't been around much to do any checking on the forums.

Not acceptable this should be done already....insert loads and loads and loads of sarcasm lol. Lookin good man.

Mike I knew better than to post pictures before Kayla had a chance to take some, but I couldn't resist lol. Thanks Todd, I'm sure I'll make some more I don't want em to get the best of me. It just maybe a while lol. Double bladed trapper?!?!?!

Black lip mother of pearl handle cpm154 stainless hollow ground blade mirror finished. 14k gold nail studs relieved stainless liners 416 bolsters to be engraved my Mr. Ken Hurst. Let me know what ya'll think.

Frank how ya been? Hope the stud pictures were detailed enough you could understand what was going on. Mr. Davison thanks, and with all due respect I have no idea how that many slip joints didn't put you in the psyche ward. Slip joints will drive a crazy man up a wall. Thanks John I'm...

Ah final polishing. I'll admit I got a little excited and didnt' take as many pics here as I should have. First off stuff the opening with toilet paper or something. Helps keep grit from getting down in the knife. Next after final polishing of the pearl I taped off the pearl and used a 600 grit...

I just talked to Mike today about getting table and he's gonna send message to Ray Kirk. I'll be there.

And just cause here is some scrimshaw I've done. I tried working on knives (these two to be exact) in the truck while waiting on guest at work. I lost pieces nearly broke pieces and generally couldn't get anything set up to do any decent work with. Instead I started trying to scrimshaw with the...

......so....... close....should have final polish on them done tomorrow night.

lol Mike you have no idea

Thanks guys, I'm glad ya'll are getting some help out of it. Some of my ways might be backwards, but I supposed thats the beauty of knifemaking no right or wrong. And I agree with complete180 it bugs me when people post links to other tutorials, I just didn't have the energy to transfer it...

Thanks John, hows yours going? I haven't got a peek at the thread in a few days. Well my nerves are shot for tonight. I got the knife peened together, it's a little stiffer in the action that I want. I will work on that tomorrow. First off I etched my name on the spring so you can see it...

Welp getting closer by the minute. I have the gold hammered into the holes now. I just have to ectch, sharpen, and hammer the knife together. The last one gets me hammering on pearl and all. Here's the process I used getting the wire into the holes domed over. First off up above I mentioned...

Once both sides are done I will start getting ready to make the gold domed nail studs. In order to start I will use 1/8" brass rod. Cut 4 rods approximately 2". Flatten one end then I drill them out. For the smaller 18 guage wire I use a 1/16" drill bit to drill the end of one brass rod. You...

Well I'm baaaccckkk. The computer got nailed by a virus and i've been without for a while. Got some new pictures to show. First off is the polishing. I took it to 2000 grit first with oil, then with windex. From there I used a microfiber cloth and rubbed flitz polish on the blade. 2000...

John, I thought I heard you mention a good carbon forging steel the other day, maybe not. But I do have another idea for these blocks. Can you cut them down with the wire edm?

Looking good Mike. I didn't notice it until you posted it on facebook. I dunno why but that carmel colored ivory is one of my favorite colors.

Shop? They're overrated......Mine's only aboue 6 by 7 feet. Maybe a hair bigger. One of these days it'll be ALOT bigger. Ok. Today wasn't my day. I chipped the blacklip around a pin hole. I had the knife together and taking the middle pin out I saw a flake fall and it took me ten minutes...

In the course of a normal work day I run into all kinds of stuff that could potentially mame me or kill me, but I refuse to use a buffer. I hand sand to 2000 grit, then I take the same buffing compound that is used on buffers, I heat it up and smear it on a microfiber rag. From there I just hand...

Here's the etcher I used. It's Chris Crawford's and Bob Warner's tutorial. http://chriscrawfordknives.com/#/electro-etching-unit/4535265119
