    My first knives

    Here's one of my first knives completed. I think it's #7 actually. Rosewood handle with red liner. Tru Oil with matte sanded finish. This is my 3rd sheath. This one I kept simple with no tooling. Focused on straighter cleaner lines and crisp stitches. I think they both came out pretty good...

    Swapped the leads on DC and no etch at all. So it seems like I'm getting both etch and blacken in one step, on DC. Is this related to the solution I bought from yall? Not complaining, just baffled Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    filing or grinding jigs... DIY or low cost

    I also use the angle iron method. But I use a smaller piece, about 6" and use two bolts threaded into the bottom side. It works very well for me.
