Oh hey Calvin, is there a registration for this, fee, etc.,, or just show up?

that folder looks pretty good, but how does it perform? You better send me one so I can test it out. I sold the first blade I made. The VERY first one was from a cheap blank. I handled it and made a really horrible leather sheath for it and sold it on ebay for $25. Then made some smaller...

Thanks guys! I agree the filework doesn't really match the style, but as a little easter egg I think it was just a nice little touch. I usually add jimping on larger knives just because for the use, I think they need it. Smaller knives or hunters I usually ask but don't charge extra as it...

thanks for the heads up Calvin. I need to start planning some trips.

This was a customer requested knife. He wanted something big, with some weight that he could use for a little of anything - outdoors stuff, nothing too fancy...but then he started talking about maybe some file work etc. I told him I've never done file work etc., but decided to surprise him...

Don't want to derail the thread, but....I've never met him even though we're only a few miles down the road from each other, so I reached out and spoke with Terry. He said he's turned over his annual show to the Mississippi Forge council. The planned knife meeting is on feb 14th and 15th in a...

Oh wow, that's only a few hours away. I might have to see if I can make that one.

I've seen videos, including bossdog sharpen knives on non-reversible grinders by just flipping the knife over with the edge facing down. I tried that for a minute but couldn't see what I was doing...guess like any of it, it just takes practice. That's when I had the idea of flipping the 1x30...

Same knife, different background with some texture. I also hear texture is the key to black and white.

k...

there, I think that's better. Can I get those switched Boss? Thanks Ebbtide, I think that was the problem. I'd noticed it before but thought I was crazy or something.

the size of the secondary bevel is really going to depend a lot on how thin you get the primary bevel at the edge. I too freehand and had a similar problem in the past and I realized that in trying to leave plenty of meat on the edge for HT, after HT I wasn't taking it down far enough. I would...

It's not as bad after Bossdog expanded the picture, but the one on my desktop, the exact same pic, you can see a lot of the texture of the background and the orange peel of the knife. Here it gets fuzzier.

lol, All I have is a cell phone. Motorola Milestone X (same as droid x), 8mp camera, photoshop cleanup. I broke out the light tent this week to play with some new ideas and backgrounds. Pictured here is the infamous Dog Bite 1. I like this knife so much I just can't bring myself to sell it...

this was a large, almost machete-like knife I did a while back. The idea I was going for with the picture was something to use in the field. I've always thought it was a really neat pic.

Oh sweet, I'm glad you posted this. I found that guy on ebay a while back but didn't ever order. I was really curious though how it would work out. But now that I see it, I might have to jump in on the bandwagon as well.

wow that's purty! great Idea with the sheath!

This one was fun. I really like the way these look.

oh no... I thought we still had the rest of the week... you can take a look anyway. I went a little overboard anyway I think. I've got another one for week five ready as well

good looking knife too! I'd say he's got a good future ahead of him.
