I had the pleasure seeing these in person the other night. Really freaking nice work Fred! I loved the grip on the handles for both of them.

Congrats George!

I'm in! Still fairly new to knife making, but I think I've come up with my lead design, which I can make the first for this knife in the hat. Started on a wood template and might make a few more before I start on the metal. It will be about 9" in total length. Thanks, -Swait

I enjoyed working on this handle, the cocobolo gives it a nice look I think and feels nice to grip in the hand. You did the hard part George! And it came it out as an awesome knife, I'm sure the ferrier will love this. Now all we need to do is find time to deliver it to the ferrier. Hopefully...

Very nice. I tried doing something similar but used pvc pipe and some kind of thin white canvas material cloth. At first I tried taking photos with a 500 watt light, but it looked too orange, kind of like your first picture of the knife. Then I tried with a simple 26w daylight like you did with...

Thanks for the tips gentlemen. This is my second time ever trying to polish a knife. I've been taught to always work the knife sharp edge up, not sure if there is an exception to this rule when polishing or not. Due to the safety concern, I decided to wear leather gloves to be safe, but then the...

Now that the polishing is done I'm uploading photos while the first coat of plasti dip dries on the handle. This is the can of plast dip I'm going to use. I picked it up at my local hardware store. Before spraying the handle, I wrap some blue masking tape around the blade that I don't...

After about 40 minutes at the grinder polishing I decided to take a quick break and take some more pictures. There appears to be some slight improvement in the reflection of the blade. But taking a closer look at the photo below, you might be able to see that the half part towards the edge is...

First I start out by applying the green compound brick to the cork belt. To do this, press the brick up against the belt while it is running. Do this until there is a nice even green coat on the belt. After the compound has been applied, run the blade across the belt to begin...

I have a neighbor who does a lot of fishing on his boat and really wanted a fillet knife. He insisted on stainless steel and a plastic handle to stand up against salt water. Since I don't have the means to heat treat stainless yet, I ordered a fillet knife blank from our good friends USA knife...

Sorry if the photos are not great, had to make do with my cell phone. This is my second knife. I decided to make a knife for my girlfriend for Christmas. Her favorite color is blue, so I went with blue G10 for the handle. Knife is made from 1080 steel and 7" in total length. It looks like a...

Looking good. I don't see anything wrong with this design. I actually bought a couple of templates from Tracy at usakinfemakers that look very similar to your design that I'm putting wooden handles on to give away as gifts. They have a pretty nice feel to them and since they are small it makes...

They look awesome! Makes me want to try to blue one of my future knives. Maybe I will try it on the one I decide to make for that guard that you gave me. Very nice George.

I wanted to make a gift for a gift exchange at my Tae Kwon Do school. So I decided to make a knife to give away. This is my first knife. Used stock removal method. Made from 1080 steel, about 11 inches in total length and 1 1/2 inch in width. About 1/4 inch in thickness. Used stainless steel...
