Details Let me know if you need details, happy to share what was shared.

Finally got this to work. Much thanks to "Da Dogs" and info shared.

Hey Dean, I have some CCTs that do use small sealed bearings. On a knife this small it did not prove to make a difference and greatly increased the construction time and cost. The bearings available are either the wrong internal or external dimensions. Has anyone seen a god source for...

That's IT ?? That's what I do while making coffee, before going into the shop. My Best: Polishing the handle on a hunter 4" blade, I caught the sleeve of my sweatshirt in the vise handle, just knocking the blade loose. The hunter dropped out of the vise and went into my thigh right below, up...

When not using ball bearings, this is the space on .125 blades. Miss-spoketh.

Les, Are you just going into the blade ? Must be careful on blades that are .125. I use .125 metal with .010 washers, doesn't leave much meat in the center for pivot to ride on. Great knives by the way. Jim

If you are going to use the IKBS logo and such, then you need to pay the $50.00 and submit a knife. I have paid the fee, but made the mistake of sending in an unfinished knife. I thought they were going to take it apart. I should have another knife to send in soon. Les makes a great...

Three Sisters Forge Stamp I have two "Marks" one is Three Sisters Forge. This is a outline of the Three Sisters Mountains that are out my window, with the sun setting. The other is Kanji symbols that bascily translates into the same; Three Sisters Forge".

Etcher I use one made by Ron Claiborne, works perfect. I think you can hook up with him through Ellis Knives. Jim

Which one do you use ? Different uses ? Thanks

Les, Thanks buddy. Off to the laundry room. The issue appears to be the Ti, it is softer and the finish doesn't seem even.

Ceramic Medium Ed, I bought an extra tumbler bin and these triangles at Harbor Freight. This way I can swap out my brass cleaning materials. I am also trying steel shot for texturing. Anybody else have some input?

Cones What size do you use & about how long does it take ? Thank you for your help. Jim

I've had a request for a stonewashed finish. Any hints? I tried tumbling in ceramic cones, no go. Thank You. Jim

Great Lakes Waterjet Dave at Great Lakes was invaluable in my process. Provided advise and quality work. Jim

Tactical- For Who ?? We got into folders when I kept getting folders that needed modification. This overwhelmed my one man and one dirty dog operation. I asked for a wish list. There were two very distinct areas of demand; 3" and 1.5", but same requests. This list came from military...
