    A thoughtful and respectful email I received..

    If someone doesn't feel welcome here , they are going to have a hard time finding any place else where they will feel more welcome. One gets out of a forum , what they put in. KD is rapidly becoming a great area of the online knife community.

    Light Tent + Better light = Better pictures = Better money

    hehe , nice touch eh ? I had my 11 yr old as well as my 17 yr old son messing with their D-SLR's learning lighting , exposure , shutter speed , and how they all work together. It's cheap entertainment , and they get to learn something in the process. One my 11yr old shot in one of his...

    How to design a knife with Photoshop

    Nice work Mike , look into downloading a trial version of either Captivate , or Camtasia , you can then record your steps in the software real time , and upload to the web via you tube or other ( you can upload as wmv , avi , mpeg , swf , etc ). Really cool stuff.

    Art in the Schools

    It is definately worthy to support the arts. During these tough economic times , they wanted to cut the music program from the schools here , they cut the budget for the band program to almost nothing. Even with the budget cut to almost zero , last year those kids ( and parents ) worked hard at...

    Knife Collecting as an Investment

    I agree with that 100% , and feel the same exact way. 2thumbs I placed an order for one over 7 years ago , after being told 3-6 months delivery time , still haven't seen it , and doubt I ever will , although others have received theirs. (and yes I was in constant contact with the maker , just...

    Light Tent + Better light = Better pictures = Better money

    Memory??????

    Three elderly knifemakers are at the doctor's office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first maker, "What is three times three?" "274," is his reply. The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second maker , "It's your turn. What is three times three?"...

    Belt Wobble / Grinder Set Up

    I have been fighting belt "wander" on my Bader III ever since I got it , and it is progressively getting worse. Does the same on the flat platen , 5" contact wheel and 8" contact. When grinding the belt always moves to the left , sometimes a good 1/4" to 3/8". Many calls to Bader , many...

    TOPS vs STRIDER best 4.5 inch combat tanto folder? Super strong lock?

    Might be just me , but if it is a back up to a jammed firearm , you are already losing time , go for a fixed blade over a folder. With that said , I carry and use my Striders , they aren't for everyone , no knife is , best thing you can do is handle the ones you are interested in and compare...

    Nice tutorial , and if I may add , if you use a CPL filter , you could get rid of those reflections on the glass as well. :)
