One of the only really logical arguments I have heard is that when traveling by airline, say to a show, the owner can take apart the knife and bring the handle and fittings in their carry on and only have to leave the blade in the luggage, where it could be damaged, stolen or lost. Often in very...

Simple as possible would be a blown propane forge. Indian George has instructions on his site that should fit your perimeters.

You will have to anneal the stock after forging. I forged a san mia guard from 416 and 1084 to match a blade and it broke endmills like crazy trying to cut the guard slot. I dont think it would be fun to engrave without a proper anneal.

Sold pending funds.

The knife is a Hunter hand forged from from 5/8 square stock W2 tool steel with a hamon (hardening line). Flat ground with a slight appleseed grind at the edge. The scales are arizona desert ironwood. Tang is tapered from spine to edge and slots milled in the tang to reduce weight. Includes a...

It works great. I got one before I started making knives and used it for all my factory knives. It makes a very sharp edge and is pretty easy to get the hang of. However, if you have a belt grinder with various belts you can do everything the edge pro does and more, including convex edges.

I got the shop photo's formatting fixed. I also put up a pic in the makers profile of a land locked salmon, caught while flyfishing a Maine river. Just an update. Thanks John

Thanks for welcome and kind comments. I still have to fix the formatting on the shop tour pics and hope to get to that soon. Michael and Dick, I will be there at the hammer in. It should be a blast.

You do not have to be an ABS member to attend. I am planning on being there. Last year I went for a day and a half and learned techniques, tips and tricks to greatly increase my learning curve. It is worth attending for that alone, however the best part it that is was a great time.

Ernie has great prices and service and it seems like he ships quick.

Here is a kitchen knife I made for personal use out of w2. I still have some work to do on learning to photograph the hamon.

That is a great idea, I am going to have to give that a try. Thanks Karl

Here is a damascus chef knife I finished last night. It is made from my second billet of damascus steel. It started out as a dog star pattern but that was distorted because I had to do more forging than anticipated to get the profile.

looks very good to me. I am starting to focus on making kitchen knives.

I use 3/8 wooden dowels. I grind a taper on one end and a step on the other. the tapered end is for putting pressure when needed and the notched end is to hold the bottom of the blade. Using the dowels you can grind them however you want in a few seconds.

When is the workshop at the New England School of Metal Work?

That is the rotary platen and is offered on the Beaumont website that has the kmg.

Would this set up work on this motor on 120? Would I need to order anything besides the cotrol and switch? https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2009112710282343&item=11-2102&catname=electric https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2009112710282343&catname=electric&item=11-2102-S...
