It's probably easier to say what I don't listen to. This teenage girl fodder is pretty awful and I can't usually deal with bands who's name I can't repeat on these forums, they are a bit much for me. Most anything between that I like from Cash to Ylvis to KISS to Amon Amarth. I do like classical...

Sorry guys but tonight I've got nothing for you. I can't work on the knives because I seem to have contracted some horrible strain of lurgy rendering me useless. I have only my thoughts tonight (GMT), and said thoughts are thus; dont keep your children inside, it ruins their immune system and...

I'm new to this myself but I can tell you it's actually quite impressive. The blade shape is really good for a machete although you may want to push the grind slightly higher. Also a swell at the butt of the handle is good on a machete that you will be swinging around a lot. Other than that its...

David, I must have started when I was around 14 but this is things starting to properly kick off. Here are the three designs I'm working on. The first is my take on the sabatier, I won't be doing the bolsters though. The second is a paring knife for the mother. There is another 3/4" added to the...

I am going to be doing this thread so I have somewhere to put all my news and what not. I'm trying to do something like Steven Long's thread only not quite so well. I will put here all my progress making knives and sheaths and what not but also I will put up new designs and patterns I think up...

My birthday is in may so I could have got it a few months ago, my dad has taught me to drive a car and bike so I just need to learn the rules of the road and do my test. The average cost for learning to drive here is £1300 and the average insurance for new drivers is around £2000. I better start...

My license came through the door today (just a provisional). Now I can start learning to drive officially and in a few months I should have a full license. Then at Christmas I'm hopefully convincing the father to pay for a bike license as well. Exciting stuff.

I've got one of those, I should utilise it more. Daughters/sisters can be pretty niceto have around when they are in a good mood

I don't know much about power tools and there won't be any for me in the foreseeable future. With that in mind I would agree with Laurence. Make a some knives and just when you think "ooh a xxxxxx would be handy right now" you will know what to buy. That's how I go about every purchase.

Guys, calm it. You all have funny accents to me, and I have a funny accent to the rest of the UK.

I would have thought definitely stainless because fish tend to be wet. You will want something with high wear resistance I reckon. Anything to make it stay sharp at a lower hardness. You want it around 55-56Rc I think so it is springy. I thing CPM S-30V fits that pretty well but I wouldn't know...

I can't afford one of your knives so posting this kind of stuff is just unfair. In all seriousness though, I look at your knives and they make me want to make knives instead of just wantig to own knives.

I'm in the UK and I'm not sure if staples here does signs but I'll find somewhere. What kind of stencil would I ask for? Is it just a vinyl sheet or something? Terribly sorry if I'm hijacking.

I designed something remarkably similar. Great minds obviously think alike. I called mine the Tassie Devil though. Your knives are awesome though. You are officially on my list of people who's knives I will buy when I have a job.

FINISHED! It's only been five months. My knife got back yesterday and I got to work. I polished the blade up to an 800grit satin finish and started work on the handle. It's the same process I used for the horn. I snapped my 2mm but so I ditched the small hole in the finger groove. I almost...

It's very fun and the neighbours haven't been such delinquents since they heard it. I almost lost an ear this morning so now I wear my old Stetson when I play with it.

What do you do when a blade is at the heat treated? http://imageshack.com/i/npcmpfj You make a bullwhip of course. I spent about 10 hours doing this. It isn't difficult at all but it's very repetitive and time consuming. It is about 5 1/2' with a 2 1/2' fall. Made from green and gold paracord...

I have been told now that I have surgery in three months then a month after that recovering so it looks like i wont be doing knives for a bit. This is just silly.

Someone said that to make a pie from scratch you have to create a whole universe. I believe what they meant was that no matter what you do there will always be part of your work that you didn't do yourself. Because I send my knives for HT I won't claim sole authorship but it doesn't detract from...

How does one perform a CA finish? I haveFiles it on a piece of mahogany and I did something wrong. I want to do it on my next knife because its the only thing I have.
