Nice job. I have some pink G10 in the shop, no not for myself, but for my wife. Dale

Great idea, but the way my dog looks at me somedays, I would be afraid that he would use it on me. Dale

Found it. shrpknife@aol.com Dale

Thanks Rob, I emailed them and am waiting for a responce. Dale

First piece of advice, is don't give up. I have been a part time maker for 7 years now, and for the first time I have a backlog of 1 years worth of orders, that isn't alot of knives, since I only work weekends and evenings at it, but I used to have knives laying around waiting for a buyer or the...

I don't want my customer to loose his knife, and hard earned money. So I want to know if it will get to him or not, if there is a chance it will not get to him, I won't make it for him. Thanks KnifeMaker.ca for the info. is the Email link in your post for the Police Liaison Office? Thanks again

I have a request for a knife that would go to Switzerland. The Postmaster at my post office says that it would be prohibited to ship a knife to Swiss. because they consider knives a weapon, and weapons are not permited to be shipped into Swiss. But she did say that she was not 100% certain of...

zbq, ya slice them in half to clean them, and the knife was one of my Medium Pro Hunters to slice them, and the one pictured is my EDC. I hope Randy had good luck, and got to use that Swanson knife to cut alot of schrooms down. Dale

I have been using Olson blades bought at a local farm supply store, 12.99 each and can cut 10+ blades out of one. A tip on these saws, run at the slowest blade speed that it has, and don't try to make curve cuts, and use a fine tooth blade like 14TPI. I have even used the Harbor Freight blades...

I was working on knives yesterday, and needed a break, so my wife and the dog and I went for a walk in the woods, and stumbeled across the big yellow morels on the left side of the pic, needless to say, the rest of the afternoon was spent mushroom hunting. We found 47 in all. Here they are along...

For epoxy, I use Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy, have for years now with no problems. On hidden tangs, you can use the correct size drill bit to get started, and use a file to enlarge the hole. Another way is a bit, that I think is called a Brad Point Bit, it will cut on the sides as well as the point, so...

The way that I do it is, get the front and back pieces as close a match in size as I can, then groove both pieces, then pre-punch the front piece, and glue it all up, then put it in the stiching pony, and using an awl, push through the front hole and into the back piece just enough to see the...

Thanks Chef Niloc. I will post pics in a new thread when it is done, it may be a month or so, as I have several orders ahead of that one. Dale

Very nice! I hope my wife doesn't see it, she would even love the handle on that one. Very Well Done. Dale

I just changed over to an etch, and I like it better than the stamp that I had used for many years, it is still in good shape, but I have had double marks, light marks, and slanted marks. If you go with an etch, have Ernie make your stencils, great guy to deal with, and he makes a great stencil...

James, she is holding up real well, so far just cutting the oak, and my wife has used it in the kitchen some, and it makes a good steak knife, I think it is fine. I sure like the way the CPM154 takes a mirror finish. It may be going to Alaska or Texas on a hunt, on loan to a customer who is a...

Thanks again for sharing Chef Niloc, this last one is what I will try to make, if you don't mind me using your basic design. I like the looks of it, and it will serve the purpose very well. Dale

Just a thought, you may try tomatoe juice. I have a blade made from A2 that was used to pick a few tomatoe slices out of a bowl and was left uncleaned for awhile, and where the juice ran it darkened the tip on the new blade alot. Since then, this knife has been used to field dress severial deer...

Chef Niloc, I like that. I think that is what my customer has in mind. Thanks for sharing.

Variable speed grinder, gets my vote.
