    Blued damascus and MOP folding dagger

    I was wondering the same thing, but after an hour of searching on the net, i just took a shortcut(not big on patience :) ). I have a boatload of these little three flutes here - use them in my pantograph, and basically for anything, and for me, it was easier that way :)

    Blued damascus and MOP folding dagger

    Tape on the side of hole the drill is coming in through, micarta, G10 or hardwood under the slab. I have my three flute drills re-ground from the three flute mills. I found out (and after i found out, i was told the same by my machinist friend), if you have 2 or four flutes on your mill/drill...

    Blued damascus and MOP folding dagger

    Thanks Mr. B. :) MoP is a great material to work with. I heard horror stories about it. But as long as you have quality carbide three flute drill bits (the cheap HSS ones work as well, but you might wanna throw them out after one knife, just to be sure) and run them flat out (my mini mill has...

    Teach me about this grind.

    Hey, Allen E. calls it the compound grind. That's as much as i can tell without repeating Bw's post, cause he gave you some complex answer there. I really don't think there is anymore to say :) Other than that done right, it looks wicked cool :) Ondrej

    "W"s from Walla Walla

    That damascus and stag looks just awesome Mr. B. I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished. Are you planning to keep as much stag as possible (just like you would do with a bark ivory) ? IMHO it would look better :) Ondrej

    Anybody tired of mammoth and damascus?

    Thanks :) Frankie, what about my Alfa? :) I call it Lambo for poor people:) It really has all the 'italiano' in it, but for a much more affordable price, and less dangerous (cause it top at only 140mph ;) ) Well, the valet must be a nice job, you get to drive quite a few of those cars, but i...

    Why a knifemaker should carry one of his knives.
