Mike, You'll do great! Your knives are more than passable for you to be stepping up and sitting with the big boys. The hardest part about selling at a new show is the first 10 minute of " I'm the new duck" thoughts. Your own self doubt will be the biggest obstacle to get around :biggrin: I sat...

Ben that's just great your making the jump to full time. I know it will be a lot of work, but you have an eye for blades that will be great to see more of. Now all we need to do is have a shop raising party and expand yours to say... 40 X 40 :biggrin: I know we can do it HA! Erik

good evening Stephen, and welcome to KD. trying to give you advise on using your new grinder over the web might be problematic. I grind totally different than a lot of my friends and trying to printout out how to do it would be a book size post :biggrin:. I'd suggest you get in contact with a...

So every since I got hooked on folders, I have struggled with getting the pins peened "just right". I decided to try and make an anvil that was domed a bit so i didn't fight the bolsters or scales getting in the way or me dinging them up trying the sneak the pin as close to the edge as I could...

Tracy, sounds like a great project. do you have a time line in mind, and you said you'd take "anything"... even from us less talented guys ? :biggrin: Erik

So hows the hand doing Keith? good enough to get back to the grinder? Erik

welcome to KD, and I hope your ready for the wild ride your starting. you can make some great blades with some pretty simple tools and a lot of elbo grease. looking at your list of tools I'd recommend you put a small drill press at the top of your list. it will pull double duty drilling holes...

Way To Go FRANK!!! great looking folder. now that the first one is under your belt your hooked for good. each one will get easier. you need to get yourself a method of making them and then stick with it. when I first started I had a check list and followed it from start to finish. for me it...

Welcome to the forum Mudman. looks like your well on your way to making a knife. you didnt say what you might be interested in making and that might affect the tools you will get. your already looking at upgrading to a 2 x 72 and that one alone will be a life changer. the belts available will...

Nice folder Blance. seems like every folder challenges you in a different way even if it comes from the same pattern. I look at them like my kids... each one loved, but always testing your patience :biggrin: Erik

one day for the build.... I all ready had the pattern drawn in cad. I got started early and profiled the blade and spring then got them fit up on my rise and fall gauge. then ground ruff the blade and hardened the blade & spring. blade went right to the oven for tempering. had the blade and...
