Thanks. Lots of good info there.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to find the video on YouTube.

That is a very nice knife. Looks ergonomic and useful.

Thanks for the reply. I'm in my 26th year of being a guard and I strive for anonymity in my personal life as I don't want inmates/gangsters knowing anything more about me than I can help. That is the reason for choosing to use my initials. Once I retire and move away from where I am I can look...

Thanks. I ruined one stencil already. Live and learn.

I finally got my stencils today. Now I need to get familiar with the etcher. And make some good knives of course. It's my initials for the curious.

I've only used Danish oil so far and have been happy with the results. I used a satin varathane to finish it.

That's very ambitious for a first knife, and very well done. Congratulations.

Just did my first sub zero quench and they are in the oven. I'll do two - two hour tempers. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for not making me feel like a pariah.

I use a jig. Someday I will learn to freehand. I have a lot to learn before I get to that point.

This is very interesting. Thanks for the post.

I like the Norax U264 belts. I grind to 120 with a Blaze belt and then switch. They are more of a finishing belt than a grinding belt.

I have hardwood floors and need to keep my humidity around 40% or I will notice a change in the flooring. Going from around 7% (stabilized) to close to 0% (where his house probably is from burning wood) is enough to make the wood respond in some way. Micarta or G10 would solve the issue.

That is a beautiful knife.

I ordered mine from Ernie. Should be here in a week or so. Now I need to make something worthy of putting my name on. Or something anyone else would be willing to put their name on if they made it. I keep making dumb mistakes.

Nice looking knives.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. I'll be using 1/8" stock so I think I'll go 1/2 hour in the dry ice just to make sure.

Thanks. I'll do the 1995F with 350F tempers. Should get around 62Rc. How long at sub zero? Would a half hour be adequate?

Nice looking knife. I like the grind.
