Sunday I ground out four cefs knives 2 with 5 inch blades and 2 with 9 inch blades all of themm were 2 inches wide. I'll have to say these were the toughest knives I've ground out so far. My hats off to the guys that make chefs knives. Might as well make the last ones I grind the hardest.

That's where I grew up. I graduated from Perry Central. Small world ain't it. My folks still live up there but just like the Egyptians I got tired of looking across the river to see the promiseland so I just moved over there.

I live in KY and grew up insouthern IN. I don't know of anyone in the E-ville area that does heat treat. I do my own in my shop. Where did you live in southern IN Ed?

I use the Bernzomatic hose torch. Almost every Lowes carries them. They work excellent. If you need the insulation firebrick let me know I can get them pretty easy.

It's my hobby. I've been a carpenter/woodworker since I was in middle school. When I started making knives I found a way of combining what I'd been doing almost my whole with something that was a whole new area. I've made lots of furniture and was never more proud of a piece if furniture than I...

I'm just going to make them the way I want to and if someone wants one they can pick from what is already made.

I work in an aluminum plant and see thermite on a daily basis. It can be some really nasty stuff. Aluminum fines(dust made when grinding aluminum)are highly flammable. Keep in mind that rocket fuel is made from aluminum fines.

I would like to know how all the other knifemakers put up with the public ordering a knife today and wanting to come pick it up tommorrow. For this reason I will no longer be taking orders. I started making knives because I enjoy working with my hands and I love a good knife. I've got two orders...

One of my friends just bought a Paul II Model 2 with carbon fiber handles. It's in NIB condition. He gave $75 for it. I can't find a value on it, but I told him from what I've found on it that it's probably valued at quite a bit more than that. Just wondering if anyone could give me a little...

I've always done a full quench on 0-1. I was wondering if you can use clay to get a hamon or if 0-1 hardens to deeply?

I live in Rumse,KY on 10 acres in the middle of nowhere. One of my friends told me that I probably don't get Saturday night live until Tuesday afternoon. Lol

I had the same problem and a machinist I work with told me it was because I was quenching it angled a bit in one direction. I made a hook that fits in the very last weight reduction hole and this let's it hang stright up and down when I quench.

When you get your Koa-Wool make sure you wear a respirator. I use this stuff all the time in my job and it is wicked on the lungs and sinuses. It helps to put baby powder on any exposed skin before you work with it. The baby powder fills the pores of your skin and won't let the airborne slivers...

I get mine from Victor machine. They carry Sheffield for a real good price

Way East of me.

I've been stumbling through knifemaking for about 2 1/2 years and I just now realized that most everybody hand finishes going the length of the blade. All this time I've been doing it across the blade. Am I completely going against the grain of knifemakin?( no pun intended). Or is it just a...
