Ok I just dont want Randy H to really start bragging lmao this Ironwood burl weighs about 30 pounds maybee a little more 15x12x10

Hey if your spending all your tax bucks I would buy a bunch of them new norton norax u936 structured abrasive belts Ide get 2 of each. I have the olderstyle u264 and they kick ass for finishing . Now the word on the street says these belts are good for everything except profiling. I think I...

I have a 1,2,4 and 10 the 10 is all ive ever known but I think the 12 would be slightly stronger and less hollowed out. I do my razors on the 2 but mostly a 4 inch wheel and take then to what is considered 1/2 hollow. I would never make a knife even close to that as the blade is to fragile. Im...

Looks like some of the Ironwood I have but could very well be a rosewood. Its an excellent score you need to go look for more lmao that stuff s killer. kellyw

I m sold on Ernie having the best stencils. Believe it or not I am still using the first stencil Ernie made for me 3 years ago. I am just guessing but would be around 300 knives . I have 8 more stencils so Ide say im good for about 2500 more knives wow. Kellyw

The new pic is excellent , the old was really good too but much darker . I made a light box but need better lights the lights are the key in my opinion . Thats why pictures outside are hard to beat with direct sun light. Great wood and knife kellyw

I use my carbide deburing tool for my rifle cartriges it works excellent instead of flaring the thong tube . Very nice wood on a well made knife. Kellyw

Josh you always turn out a nice product , very well done. kellyw

Thanks Ed I knew there was more to it than what I was told. Kellyw

What ever you do dont cheap out on the wheels, its the difference between a vibration or perfection. Its no fun when a belt flys off in your face because your wheels arnt crowned. Even then they can still come off if your tension is to loose but every little bit helps. Kellyw

Tracey I had thought of a little glue might help this problem out. I would feel bad if a scale popped off then having to fix the problem sometimes is harder than making a handle from scratch. Thanks ya all I hope more input on this subject helps me make a decision. Kellyw

Jim ask Dennis next time you talk to him . He has to have some connections in Calgary. I know a decent tester is 800 and up but the odd auction sale spits um out cheap. Kellyw

Well my first guess would be iron wood with sap wood , I have some like that and it is the lowest grade of ironwood . It makes nice handles but I would dye it when it is over whelming .

Keith the Rose wood family is huge so many vartietys and sub spiecies. The more common is indian rose wood and santos rose wood. I like using any rose wood they finish up excellent. Kellyw

Laurence maybee you need to talk to Rob again . I would think there would be price increase for changes and maybee this was the problem. If ED Caffery got one I cant see why he wouldnt do the same for you. ??? Kellyw

I was not able to get a KMG from Rob because he had change his shipping policys. I did find some one in canada that made a dam fine kmg clone. The guy I bought off of was to say the least the worst person ive ever bought anything from as far a his personality goes and I doubt after the dealings...

I have not posted on the makers page for some time to ask a question. About 2 years ago I bought some spacer material from my supplier it comes in 8 different colors and is very reasonably priced at less than 2 dollars per sheet. Here is the question , after being glued to the knife tang and the...

I have been using the norton norax belts pretty much since I started making knives. the new u936 I will be ordering soon they are a ceramic belts and will outlast other belts up to 5 times as long. I just read Ed s post and will get them from rob if he has them . They sound real good. kellyw

Dam , awesome I have been beating myself up over an issue ive had with a knife and came to the conclusion it was a defect in the blade. So then just looking through here found this sharpening thread and way way to cool. Ive been only making knives for about 4 years and use a tormek I bought 3...
