Really nice knife!!!!

I flatten the bolsters, drill the holes, then I shape. I don't use super glue tho, just clamps.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and you too Calvin!!!!

How much pin do you leave on either side of you bolster before you start peening? I leave about 1/8" sticking out of each side. Professor, if you are having to beat the bolster to get it to fit, you are skipping a few steps on your way to a good finish. If it is not flat, it won't go...

"Marvin, I love the "Hawg Skinner" " Most makers loath making gut hooks. I find them a fun knife to make. Of course you have to change your SOP when polishing but its a little challenge but really fun to accomplish. I had never seen a gut hook with bolsters and stag, and I had a customer...

Thats one lucky Airman!!!!

3/32 pins for me and a #41 drill bit.

Take a look at this thread. This is how I do my bolsters. http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?9930-Full-tang-bolster-assembly

I agree with the guys, you didn't peen them quite enough. It has absolutely nothing to do with weather you tapered the holes or not. I NEVER TAPER MY HOLES and you can never see my pins!!!.

I drove by it yesterday. The car wash is about 5 mins from my house.

WOW that is some really artistic lead spread!!!

Very well executed piece!!! I just bought some more metal to make my wife a set.

That is one eye stimulating work of art!!!!

Nice job!!!!

Thanks to all for your support. Battle Creek you should have called me. I gave myself a head start and plenty of time to finish and deliver the orders that came in. I also am planning ahead for future orders.

Last week I got my copy of GUNS magazine and on page 60 was one of my knives and a 3/4 page write up by Pat Covert about me and my knives. My phone has been blowing up ever since!!! Thank God and all my friends and family for supporting me in my knife making affliction!!!

Did you get swamped with orders?

I hope I have some knives to display. After that article in GUNS magazine my inventory has dwindled to almost nothing. My table might be sporting more pictures than knives.

That is awesome to get free advertising like that. Congrats!!!!!
