The finished knife, I realy like, well done. The center knife and the Wharny, I like, I do think that the changes that Rob points out would improve both. The first one in that pic, it just doesn't appeal to me, sorry, there is no, smooth flow to the lines, but that is just a personal thing on my...

Just finishing up my first folder, using a trapper kit as a pattern for my slim line trapper. I got to thinking that on the next one, I want to use a bushing in the pivit hole, which will require a larger hole in the tang. My question is, how much metal should surround the pivot hole in the...

Very well done, I been wanting to make one of those for some time now, for my brother in law. Love the Mesquite too. Dale

I don't know for sure, but I think it may help eliminate the bumping in some belts. i would like to have one for handle work.

Another thing to remember, is that before you can get the scratches out, your work must be flat so your paper can cut them out. By that I mean that if you have a slight dip, from grinding, in your blade, and you go to your hand sanding with a stiff sanding stick, your paper will float across the...

I have had no problems with my Bader B111, it is smooth, tracks fine. I am not impressed with the combination arm, which is a platen, slack belt, setup with a 5 inch contact wheel on the bottom, and a 2" idler wheel on top. The contact wheel is almost useless, and the platen is shorter than I...

I used to get those looks, just using the kitchen oven to temper in. Don't do that anymore. Hey Rob, what if you drop one of those 1900 degree envelopes on the vinyl floor? I would be in the Dog House for sure. Dale

I like it. Are the scales stabilized? that is some good looking stuff.

Any of the mentioned steels can be treated in a small shop, if you have a kiln with good temp control for the long soak times that are required, 30-60 minutes are not uncommon. I use alot of 440C and CPM154CM. Dale

I hope this is allowed, not sure. I am trying to organize a knife show in Stover, MO. That is near the west side of Lake Of The Ozarks. A tenative date of Oct. 27,2012 is when we hope to have it. If anyone would be interested in a table please PM me or email me for details. This...

Could it be Bocote? I have some that is very close to that color and figure. Just a guess. Dale

I agree Rob, it is all messed up when you can sue someone for your own stupid actions. No one takes responseability for their own actions anymore. And lawyers have created alot of this, job security I guess.

I would go with stainless, and have used 1/16" thick 440C for fillet knives, full flat ground, and have some warpage problems when heat treated after grinding. So I have changed to heat treating before grinding the bevels, then grinding is a slow go, and eats belts. The first fillet knife that I...

I know this is an old thread, but I have talked to a lawyer about the LLC, and he advised me that if I am personely making a product, and someone gets hurt with it, they could still sue me personely, but if I own a company where an employee makes the products, then the LLC would protect my...

I hope this is the place for this. I have alot of time on my hands, for the next 6 months, due to having back fusion surgery. So I am researching having a small knife show in central Mo. A friend and I have been talking about this for a few years now, but neither had the time, well now I do...

Can anyone tell me what this wood is? I bought it on Ebay about a year ago, and forgot all about it, and can't remember what it was for sure. I think it may have been Blue Mahoa or somthing like that. I know it didn't impress me when I got it, but it was cheap, and it looks ok, may use it on a...

Thanks Jerry, been trying to contact Lee, by email, with no luck. Dale
