Thanks Gene and Ken. I see a broken foil e in my future.

I did not normalize as I just doing stock removal. Maybe I should have...

Awesome! Good looking pup.

I have a question about grain in a blade. I broke a blade today to get a look at the grain. I am not able to see grains with my naked eye, but when I take an extreme close-up picture I can see grain pretty well. This blade was 1095 that was heat treated at 1475 degrees F with a 10 minute wait...

Good looking knives!

That's the one I have. I stow it away when I'm not using it. That thing is heavy, I think its 1/4" steel.

Hey Opaul, you getting your oven is what made me "have" to have mine. I bought the KH18 with solid state electronics, Genesis controller, and BB mod. It doesn't seem to overshoot temps. I can see the power output on the screen and it reduces power as it approaches the target. To get to 400...

I use a Bauer HF bandsaw with the cheapest, original swag table. It works well and is fast and easy. Highly recommend!

Looks like a great start!

Looks great. Your skill with handles is impressive!

First off, this is meant as positive, constructive criticism. Nothing about this is meant to be offensive. I am new at this too and at this stage, every step is from scratch and so is a BIG step. You have multiple misspelled words and some of your grammar needs work. Filet is a kind of steak...

Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate the advice and compliments.

Thanks. I've been working hard on hamon's which is teaching me about blade finishing. It seems that nothing brings out sanding flaws like an acid etch. From here on out, my pins will be located using a micrometer. I am trying to decide if I want to grind off the scales and relocate the pin or to...

This is one of four knives I am working on right now. All are very similar- 1095 with hamons and walnut. Two are Drop point hunters, two are bird and trouts. This is one of the bird and trouts. This is the first knife that designed on my own. It has a 3 inch blade and 5 inch handle of walnut...

This was my first year going so I can’t compare to the past. I looked through lots of knives and at Ed’s knives. It was great meeting Ed and his work was clearly exceptional. I was disappointed in some of the knives that I saw from other vendors. At first glance they looked good but they...

I agree with C but have no apparent reason for choosing it over B. I think that A is a little flashy for the classic style knives you make.

Very nice!

Great pictures. I enjoyed following your trip as it progressed. I like that you held a communion in the outdoors. Thanks for including us on this adventure.

That’s awesome!

I like the wrapped handles. I bet it takes patience to be able to get those right.
