    Before you made your own knives..........

    I had a Kabar USMC knife when I was a kid that went everywhere I did. My parents sold it at a garage sale after I moved out to go to school. They deny this to this day, but I believe thats what happened.

    First Finished Machete

    I sure as hell hope so. I bought 600 blades...:D These are just the samples. I'll be selling them, but the production models will be even better.

    A thoughtful and respectful email I received..

    I've never felt unwelcome at Knifedogs. Actually, I've always felt quite at home. BUT!! I do feel intimidated by the talent of the makers here. And awe. Sometimes its like looking at fireworks. Ooooo. Ahhhhh. My stuff doesn't have that kinda bang, and sometimes I feel its out of...

    First Finished Machete

    Thanks guys. The handle indeed is comfortable, and allows multiple grips also. Can't wait to see some other woods on these either.

    Show off and talk about your Flat/convex grinds here!

    Here is a typical convex grind I do. It is done solely on a KMG rotary platen. The knife is designed by Kismet, and the handle is stabalized spalted Maple, and the steel is 01. These two were done for a customer. Both convexes. The little Bushboot is hand rubbed. The other sports a...

    First Finished Machete

    Pics of first finished machete. The handle is curly quartersawn Red Oak. Three 1/8" steel pins and one Bullseye tube. Its the 18" model. The production models will have some of the kinks worked out, but I can't resist handling these samples anyway. The handle on all the machete's is 6" long.

    My Dog

    Yea, the Boxer is prone to cancer. And the white ones are usually deaf, and should be avoided also. My first lived to be 12. She is sorely missed. Never a better dog either. Boudreaux is trying though. He was definitely easier to train.

    My Dog

    Haven't shown y'all my dog yet. I'm a Boxer guy. This is my second, and can't say enough how much I love this breed. The best breed with kids I've ever been around without any need of training on this. Big enough for security, but still travelable. Beautifully shaped, and great attitude...

    One for me

    Its just a nice flat background for taking the pics. I had a piece of cork for that and it got trampled. So, back to leather. PM me for pricing.

    One for me

    Well, this is my new favorite model. The BushBoot knife. So I made this one for myself with a piece of stabalized White Oak crotch that I've been saving for a special knife. Its got six 1/8" g-10 pins.

    sawing wood for handles

    The good thing for knifemakers is that a plane sawn board that is 1.5 or 2" thick allows you to rip quarter sawn scales right off the edge. Actually buying the wood quarter sawn is expensive, and can require extra cutting, often with a bandsaw, to get to 1/4 sawn scales. I dunno about y'all...

    Thanks for letting me know. Not much I can do really. You did an excellent job on it. That handle looks great. Don't sweat it.

    Knife Maker Ethics

    I have had two of my designs copied with the intention of having them mass produced in Pakistan. The guy even admitted it. I was thoroughly incensed. The two designs were both very unique, and every curve was copied. Had the guy not fessed up, apologized, and cancelled his production order...
