I feel your son's pain, I have been unemployed for a year as of today... its depressing with the years I spent training, tell your son to stick in there... sooner or later it has to get better, right? I have since decided to change professions(after 8 years in my field) and am becoming a police...

Pictures have been updated with the new scales, makers mark and I removed the patina... This one is going up for sale, its too purty fro me to keep, lol.

What the... I never got any free Aldo steel when i was starting! That is one heck of an offer, get on it!

That is effin cool. Leave it to those crazy Canadians :p

I second the recommendation for a 1070-1084 steel as your first. I started with 1080 from admiral and heat treated my first couple blades with a one brick forge using a magnet, it turned out very well. 01 REALLY benefits from that soak at temp, I bought some 01 after I finished my heat...

I vote leather :p , But Im REALLY partial to that stuff, plus anything with wood needs a leather sheath.

It is pint jars, and I will also be doing a few in ATS-34 in the coming week or so. I will post my findings here, Im going to also use it on my 1075 first to get a taste for it. As far as how long it will last, Im guessing it will be very cost effective if it works for replacing foil... its...

Anyone have any experience using this anti-scale? Im going to be heat treating some ATS-34 here soon and ordered some of this from Brownells to use, I will be oil quenching because I am already set up for it, and I don't mind the mess(plus I'm the adventurous type, :p). My main concern is...

Wow, that may be the best looking dagger Ive seen, seriously... Really hits on my tastes. I love that forged look, really amazing.

The glue is setting on the redwood burl as we speak :D. Thanks again for the encouragement, first time Ive rescaled anything.

I been seriously thinking about it.. I got some Redwood Burl that would look awesome... prob what I will do... Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate the honesty.

How long did that take you? IM guessing a few hours? :p All joking aside, in my small shop I need one of these.

That is impressive... I will have to shoot him an email.

Here ya go DOGS! This is a kitchen knife I just finished(my first kitchen oriented knife), 3/16" 1080 steel with a tapered tang, and a satin finish. Redwood Burl scales with a gritty CA coat to give it some grip. I wanted to make something I could take to the hunt club... and not feel bad...

Well I built a light box today based on a few tutorials I have seen. 3 shop lights with 26w high efficiency 6500k(100 watt comparable) and some white posterboard. The light filter is a force flex trash bag, lol. So here it is. Ill be making a new thread for the knife, I just finished it...

Thanks guys, this really helps out a lot, that destruction test really brings it to light. The West Systems is a little steep but still good info and hopefully when my pocket book gets a little thicker, Ill get some to try. Im still looking around though for something to try for now, from the...

Awesome, that is almost the same price(actually a little cheaper). I dont know much about epoxies but this is def a good price from what I have seen. Thanks a lot for your help.

Guys, This is for all you mykarta making guys. Im wondering if anyone has tried this epoxy resin for anything or if you have a brand you use that I could try, shoot, Im open for ideas. They have several videos on it and after doing the math(as hard as that is for me,lol) I could use this stuff...

That is freakin cool. He did a really nice job.

Murat, that is one heck of an entrance, very nice work, I especially like that guard.
