The only one?

Thank you, gentlemen. This is that blade in its twisted form:

I don't know if I'd even bother with the detectors. They'll probably go off at a level that is far from dangerous, and they'll just end up being a nuisance. May the Force be with you.

Tracy, the furnace blower above my head moves an amazing amount of air across the forge area. It'll suck the doors open at the other end of my 40 foot shop. As I mentioned in the previous post - I got it for 20 bucks at the recycle center.

I got a large furnace blower at the recycle place for 20 bucks. Cut a hole in the upper shop wall and draw fresh air across the forge area from the front of the shop. Even when it's -30 here in northern Minnesota, my forge will heat up a 30 X 40 shop in little time to the point where I am just...

Awesome, Tracy!! I've been there three times and demo'd once. It's a really good time with a great bunch of folks.

I had a bit of a conversation this morning with one of the officers. The Arkansas show has been great. They have fully enjoyed the run they've had. Truth is, it's getting to be a bit of an issue legally. What started out as a fun organization has acquired many, many members. When a group begins...

I'll be there.

Well, I'll have a table there for the third year and have heard nothing in regards to disbanding.

Thank you, Darrin. Since you're just a "broke knife maker" - you don't need to buy one!! Make one yourself!!

1095/420SS San Mai with stabilized Walnut Burl. Full take-down assembly:

Looks like those will work well. :3:

Good point.

You live 150 miles from me. I drive by Wyoming every now and then. There is nothing wrong with using just your name. The focus should be on your knife - not your logo. And I hate the use of LOGOS on knives. Just use your name. As far as companies to produce your stencils, I can think of no one...

Agreed. :35:

Where are these photos to be submitted?

Ya' think? Yer sure asking a lot. :les: You know, some of those folks out there that promote "high performance" knives and on and on sure haven't done themselves or the industry any good. I couldn't agree more - a knife is a cutting instrument. You wanna chop down a tree - get an axe.

As well, most knives that fail at the tip were more than likely overheated by a maker who either did not have a good grasp of his heat treating regimen, or had improper control of his heat in his forging process. This may also include large grain size from the over heating which equates to...

Yep. :3:

Yep - got one, too. And I use it for all sorts of calculations around the shop. And it's fun.
