Thanks for the heads up Les :) I just wanna make it clear that I don't think everybody (or even anybody) should wear a suit at the shows... I just like to. :) There are guys making knives at a lot higher caliber than I do, that show up in shorts and a T-shirt.... And I don't think it...

Okay, before I get painted as the classroom snob here... I just wanna say I was kidding around (a little). I do have three very high end suits that I wear when standing behind my table. I feel it's part of the way I want to project myself, and part of dealing with the level of knife I'm...

Guess we've never met Les ;) :D Even if you're wearing a $65 sport coat from Sears, you'll probably won't be wearing a T shirt or a baseball hat. Unless you're from Arkansas...:p

When you wear a $1000 suit at a show, you probably won't also be wearing a cap or a T!!! I'm cool :D ;) (of course I'd be more comfortable in the shirt and hat though! :) ) Personally, so long as the badge looks pretty official/professional and doesn't cost everybody an arm and a...

I saw that, and was going to buy it, but between already having my dream anvil and no space... I just clicked past the listing. :( Glad that YOU got it though Erin! 2thumbs

Vinegar is my preferred etchant for bringing out a hamon. You HAVE to add a few drops of dish detergent to help break the surface tension and get an even etch. It will pretty much eliminate the bubble issue mentioned (IME anyway :) ). For damascus I use Ferric, in a 4:1 or 5:1 mix with...

Great look'n hat... too bad you don't have them in non-structured (the only kind I wear).oh no! 1

Dealing with people's misconceptions is a never ending... and frustrating endeavor.:bud: Even for some folks you'd expect to be more informed. One of my welding instructors asked me to sharpen one of his knives the other day. It is, interestingly enough, a custom knife made by another local...

Angi and I on the beach by Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon. :) And yes, I do know that that hat made me look fat! cry me a river 1

I got mine before I had 3 belt grinders all rigged with small wheel set-ups... but I still use it now and again. The thing that is so great about it, is that you will get your radius/curve EXACTLY perpendicular to the part. :)

A stunning piece Lin!!! Thanks for sharing!!!urock1

That total knife profile is all aces! 2thumbs And Ken's work is outstanding... I can't wait to see it all come together!bouncewow1

Will both settings remain an option? I know/see I'm in the minority here, but the simple and clean look of the default works really well for me. Not sure if it's my eyes, my computer, or what....but it just works for me. :D BTW- This is one of the best emoticons EVER EVER EVER!!!! Short...

I know you worked hard on it, and it's got a neat look to it.... but it's hard for me to read/hard on the eyes for some reason. :o

Dang Tim!!! Most excellent advice... thank you very much for taking the time to post that!!! 2thumbs Your experience and expertise is most greatly appreciated! cool 1

+2 on Darci needing safety glasses when she's at the grinder!!!!!!!!! :eek: I've had steel slivers CARVED out of my eye two separate times, and I HAD been wearing safety glasses. I can only imagine how many times it would have been if I didn't wear them all the time. Now that that's out...

Oh god, they'll let anyone in here!!! :haha: Luckily, or I couldn't have gotten in! :D Glad to see 'ya here Lorien... I think you'll really like it. Almost as much as the knife I'm supposed to be getting done for you! huh1 :)

Hi John! Glad to see 'ya here buddy cool 1

So you make porn-O's ???? Sweet job!!! rockon Glad to see you here my friend :)

I had something like that Rusty, but it was my own doing. I joined the ABS at the Montana show, which was exactly one month AFTER the Blade show. So I had to wait 3 years and 11 months!!! :eek: But then of course I spazzed out at the last minute, and even though I had two tickets to Atlanta...
