    While visiting a friend, Big Ed of San Pedro Sadlery in Tombstone, Az,..... he told me that the best stuff he ever used was Black Rock Finishing wax and I tried it and he was right.

    Can't call myself a knifemaker or can I?

The thing I do claim tho are the stands and sheaths.....those are...

    Long Horn Sheath

    You did a great job on the sheath......I know about the time dedicated to making sheaths like that and its time consuming for sure. I can put together 3 knives in the same time it takes me to do one sheath like that.......

    Need advice on finishing handle material

    After I finish with the 1"X42" sander, I go to sandpaper and then to sanding blocks.....It takes some work but that effort gets me to the buffer and I use white jewelers paste to polish the handle. I try to only get the material that will polish to a shine that I like.......

    Can't call myself a knifemaker or can I?

    Like most forums, you have a bundle of people that come on here and read but never respond or post......Then you have some that mainly read and post every now and then. Then you have a minority that post a lot and are active and helpful to others. If I asked how many on here actually make their...
