Had an itch I had to scratch. When I was just a young pup, the first folder I got was a Case Canoe. I carried that knife for a lot of years and it brings fond memories back when I think of it. I thought it would be fun to try my hand at one now that I have a few blades under my belt. Blade &...

Tim you haven't upset anyone. Ask all the questions you want and we will try to answers them. Sometime they get answered quicker than others. Part of knife making is the nature to be inquisitive and try things out. The first few folders I make I asked a lot of questions and now I have the...

Yippee! just got in from the shop and placing my new grinder. I have been grinding my springs and blades to thickness by hand since I started making folders. Anyone that makes folders knows this can take a long time to do and get the right thickness for washers on your blades. you also have to...

Ben I just notice the shape of the handle scales. interesting to see a V shape on one side and round on the other. is it more ergonomic in the hand? Erik

Wow Ben, great looking blade. Much different from what I might expect from you.I like the lines and it seems like it might work well for general use around the kitchen. Maybe I'll get to handle it at the 5160 meeting tonight :) Erik
