I just wrapped up this one a few days ago. It is officially the 6th knife I've completed, and as such there area couple of firsts for me - first tapered tang, and my first u-shaped guard (unfortunately I couldn't get the pins to blend in 100%). Here are some of the stats: Blade Material: CPM...

Hi everyone, I am very disappointed about this, but I will unfortunately have to pull out of this one. Just bought a new ouse and life at work has been CRAZY, so I just haven't had the time to finish the knife that I intended to. My apologies to everyone - hopefully next year! Ted

I've got the same one - great setup, BTW.

You're welcome. Yeah shipping would be a killer. BTW, the SWAG mount is killer! I've had mine for a few months now, and it is great! What portaband are you thinking of getting?

I charge them the same. To me it isn't that much extra work it only takes about a 1/2 hour or so longer.

SYD 32, where are you located? If you're close to Atlanta, or don't mind shipping the logs, i can cut them for you - i have an industrial table saw. I've found that unless you have a commercial grade wood bandsaw, that cutting logs is really difficult. If you have to choose, i would choose a...

That looks great, Cliff. I, too, would love to see a step by step on this one. It's a real bear to keep aligned...

Beautiful work! I'm curious to see what the whole sheath looks like...

Thankas Fergy35. The tamboti has to be one of the biggest surprizes i've had while working with wood. It looked nice when i picked up the block, but one i started working it, it really came to life! Unfortunately my crappy pics don't really do it justice...

Thanks guys. This was my first attempt at a hidden tang and stainless guard, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Also my first time to play with stainless, and I think I'm going to stick with it!

This is my latest creation for a colleague of mine - a fairly plain-jane slightly dropped point hidden tang hunter. I initially thought the handle was a little bit too thin, but it actually sits in the hand very nicely. The blade is CPM 154 CM 3/16" thick, 1 1/14" wide and 4 1/2" long. 410 SS...

Looks like a great knife! Certainly one to be proud of.

Very interesting design. I have to agree with Carey about the wood at the bolster tips - they seem prone to break off. I further prefer handles that have a bit of contour to them around the palm area - if you look at yours it is completely flat - I prefer something a little more curved so that...

Nice work, BRad! Looks like a hefty every day user. Personally I would have the scales a bit more contoured and thicker, but that's just me.

I was wondering the same thing...

I agree on the 1/4" thickness as well. That is a very long blade.

jjv99 - If you haven't bought it yet, I just bought one last week through Amazon.com for the same price and free shipping - and it's not a refurb.

Thanks for the info, v-6. I'm not really sure what I want to do here, though. I'm thinking to just shell over the $$ and get a Baldor 1/3 hp buffer, but I'm not sure if it will be strong enough (probably, though), or do I try to fabricate something out of some grinder. I don't know. What would...

Thanks for the links, v-6. Do you think something like this connected to a 1 hp 1725 rpm 3phase motor could work, or would ti then be better to just buy a "real" buffer (e.g the Baldor buffers)? http://www.grizzly.com/products/Buffing-Assembly/H3559 This option would set me back about $250 all...

Thanks v-6. I looked at their site earlier, but they only have 3600 rpm ones on there now. Any other recommendations?
