Wow, those are excellent prices! 25 dollars for a drill press? I'll have to check craigslist, and see what's on there. And I just googled Harbor Freight Tools, and turns out there is one in Fredericksburg just 30 minutes from me. I'll have to stop by there this weekend, and see what they have if...

That's a relief! Yeah, I'll try that then. I'm starting to get a better idea of what I'm going to do now, and I have an even better idea on what I'm going to do for my next knife. But part of learning is experience, and this is good experience. Thank you all for your input! I'll post pictures...

Well, the bad news is it's heat treated. The good news is, I only treated the blade, while leaving the handle un-quenched. I didn't dunk the handle in oil either. Do you think I can still drill it?

Dang, those are AWESOME! Great work! Where'd you get the slab of 4140 steel? Looks like you could use the rest of the steel for forging some machetes. Really great work! Looking forward to trying that myself some day

Hi guys, So, I'm currently making my very first (successful) knife. I bought a piece of 1095 steel from usaknifemaker (love 1095, it's a great performing, low cost steel) and ground away. However, I made a mistake when making the knife because I didn't fully plan through what I was going to...

Hello, I'm new here, and in fact I'm a beginner knife maker, but figured joining would be a great idea to learn some new things from my fellow knife enthusiasts. I'm from a small town in Virginia, and I've been interested in knives since I was a kid. I got really into them when I was 15, and...
