Good job! Impressive to start out with a hidden tang knife! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks OkieCowboy! I got my Alabama damascus billet off of ebay. Being new to knife making I didn't look that close at the photos they had posted of the steel to check he pattern. I'll just look more closely the next time I get a piece. There is other damascus for sale out there but it's a lot...

Now that's a big, giant sword :-) Maybe he'll get his own TV series! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting this. I love my KMG but the tool rest is lacking as we all know. Looking forward to getting this system. Looks well made! It looks like the vertical position of the rest may eliminate the need for a horizontal grinder. Very reasonable price it looks like Sent from my iPad...

Thanks KDX and Blancefitz! SWAT weapon or sharpened boomerang! LOL Did your damascus billet come with the huge bow in it? The few that I have bought have been pretty straight. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Really great looking blade. Amazing craftmanship! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks guys for the kind words! The blade is FFG and the pattern is the same on the reverse side. I used the bulk of the piece of steel for a chef knife and the residual material became the parer. The transition doesn't seem to be affecting it's cutting ability and it doesn't flex unusually...

Nice work! I'm trying a dagger for the first time and am finding it tricky! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Very nice! I would agree with Wayne, the idea of making folders intimidates me at this point but it's definitely on my bucket list of knife making projects! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How often do you guys replace the diluted ferric chloride solution? I've had some for a few months and I'm about to do another damascus etch. Should I get all new solutions or freshen it up with some distilled water or vinegar? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Are there any good knife shows or hammer ins coming up in Michigan?

Koa and Ironwood are at the top but there are so many awesome varieties of wood out there. I have quickly developed a wood addiction:-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Starting off with folders! That's cool. They intimidate me but they're on my bucket list to try some day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Here are a few of my latest knives. I just got the hang of my Personalzyer Plus. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone! Mr. Svinarich I'm from Troy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, My name is Robert Erickson. Last Christmas I bought a hand made knife from Michael Morris, a knife maker from Yale MI. The minute I got it in my hands I knew that I wanted to try to make knives. I have lurked this and other forums and Youtube for instructions on knife making. I...
