Thank you David and Chuck. I have read Bob's Book Front to back a few times. But my knife design uses threaded spacers and stop pins. Chuck I was talking to David at GLWJ he mentioned using scrap to make a fixture and ground down the screws. Seems like you two are right on. When you pull the...

I have started to make folders. It there an easy way to cut the small SS screws? What is the best blade for cutting Titanium. Is CPM 154 really that hard in it annealed state? Thank you Jim

Jantz supply, Texas Knife supply, Culpeppers, Hawkins, and USA Knifemakers. Bone is common scale material. Culpeppers has a very large selection of different of colors and jigged styles.

Why should he have to carry an ugly knife? God hope he never has to use it as a survival knife. But if he does it will be an excellent knife. Beautiful work. I sell a lot of Damascus Tactical and survival style knives. The only reason I don't carry a Damascus Survival knife because I can't...

Oops I search erotic wood. That was down right scarey. Hell the refrigerator has pop ups and the Cat has a virus. On serious side. Most knife scale is stabilized. if your using samples stay with the denser woods like Ebony, and Ironwoods.

Great Idea. But I was thinking about a small tapmatic head on a small drill press. I seen the heads on Ebay for less than 100.00. Any thoughts?

I use to use a small drop of acrylic paint in my epoxies. But I have quit using epoxies. Now To fix a little "oops" Put a drop of super Glue in the spot needing fixing and fill it is with the grinder dust from the scale you are working with.

The old Dallas branch of Crucible is now SB Specialty Metals. I just ordered a piece of 1/2'' x 2'' x 36'' CPM 154 for 3 Integral I am working on. I had no problems at all. Friendly bunch of people too. I also use Niagara Specialty Metals too. Call Amy @ 817-649-2800, she will be able...

Yes they add 10.00 extra shipping for 36" pieces. I just bought a piece a 1/8 plus from CPM 154 from Jantz. I took it local machine shop and had it surface ground to .100''. 440C makes a fine knife. I use it on my Integrals.

What about Culpeppers? These guys have been supplying the knife industry for years. They have everything you could ask for.

Nice.

I bring 6 to 10 knives with a variety of styles. Don't hold back knives, that is just bad business. If you have 15 knives ready bring 15 knives and display 15 knives. But shoot for less is more. I took 5 knives to my last show. If you sell 6 knives you had a good show.

Shoot gimme a call. You are welcome in my shop. I'll take you and you can see Sam's set up.

I had an integral knife hit the floor few weeks back. I decided to use 2-ton epoxy instead of Gorilla Super Glue on it. I wont make that mistake again. It is the only time I ever had a scale pop. I reglued it with GSG.

I use to swear by my Kershaw. I love it, but I gave it to my wife when she broke hers. Now the only knife I carry is a one my integral hunters. Plus it is the only way I could ever afford to carry a Integral. I been Jonesing for a Titanium Locking Liner. Hmmm I have some Titanium, Cpm...

Depends you want to fill the file work with epoxy? Gorilla Super Glue will hold it together with just a few drops. Butt it up to the blade and hold it tight with the handle. That is the way I would do it. It wont ever go anyplace. I am actually going to add the same thing to a Sashimi...

It is a good bargain and very useful saw. It on sale right now for $189.00. Yes it will do what you need to do. A lot of knifemakers use this saw. Mine paid for it self on first Damascus Billet I cut. Do yourself a favor get a good hard back blade or a bi metal blade. Because the blades...

I love knife history. There are no new designs. Look at the world of slip joint folders. Think about a new design. Then find a design that don't exist. You can't do it. Very few designs are new. Now about copying someone else work. How about Loveless, Keith, Black, and Micheal...
