Thank you men, for the kind words. I hope to have a few more to post in the near future.

I went 8 or 10 months without making a knife, but recently got back at it and I just finished this one up today. I debated whether or not I should keep posting in the "New to knife making" section. It is a bit intimidating posting amongst some great folder makers. This is my 9th folder so far...

I think your knife looks great. As mentioned already the fit and finish are top notch. I have used some Alabama Damascus and have a billet laying around that I have yet to use. The pattern in what I have used was not uniform, much like yours it had some funky abrupt pattern changes. The big...

I concur with all of the compliments above. I haven't been around here much lately myself. I wish I had something like this beauty to blame it on! I have been letting a friend of mine come and use my shop to make his first couple of knives. We spend much time talking knives and when he asked...

Love them Calvin. Years ago, I had to wear a suit everyday and I always wanted a really light knife to carry. Wouldn't matter much now days though, you cant get in the courthouse without going through a metal detector!

Wow. Absolute perfection.

I am normally not a big fan of the Barlow pattern, but this knife has made me re-think things! Absolutely gorgeous. Bill

Keith, I am glad to hear that you are doing better. Take care and ease back into it. Come on now and get started on that folder. If you need someone that can tell you all the ways to screw up each step in making slipjoint, I am here for you! Bill

I guess this explains why I haven't heard from you in a while! I think I may have to come over and take a look at your scrap bucket and then report back to the folks how complicated this really was. The knife looks great by the way. Bill

Another beauty. You just keep turning em out. It's getting hard to pick my favorite. I love the guard on this one. Bill

Welcome Rafter P. I assume that is a brand. I was going to be clever and put it in my welcome, but I am not computer literate enough to do it. Careful with that Trapper Kit. You will find yourself addicted like the rest of us! There is a lot of country out in that part of Texas. Can you...

That is an extremely talented file you have.:biggrin: I really like it. Bill

I got an email from them yesterday saying it is shipping next week. As far as it affecting my work, the delay is saving me money. I haven't screwed up any steel in a couple of weeks since I have been waiting on it to get here! This is strictly an expensive and addicting hobby for me. They...

Did you get any estimate on delivery time when you bought yours? I ordered mine about a month ago and I am still waiting for it to get here. Bill

Amazing work, as always Mr. Doyle. I am always excited when I see you have posted something new. Your knives have a certain "it" factor. The designs, lines, finish, complimentary materials and just the right amount of embellishment really makes them stand out from the crowd. Bill

Mikey, I wouldn't have wanted to let that one go either. Now to answer your question. Heck yeah, I keep them. I mean I have been lucky enough to give a few away, but I have been keeping the rest. You guys that make knives that people will actually pay for are just asking for those kinds of...

Mine has (from the motor) Red to U, White to V and Black to W. I am no electrician, so I followed the instructions that came with mine to the letter. Hope this helps. Bill

Calvin, that is my favorite so far. I bet it gets snatched up quick. I have so much in common with that knife. Since my Dad and Grandfather were both named Bill, I have been "Little Bill" for over 40 years. Skinny, super attractive and named "Little Bill", well 2 outta 3 ain't bad.:biggrin...

Calvin, That is great. I can't think of a better way to spend the weekend. I always like to see kids learning how to do things with their hands other than play video games! Laurence is right, they will remember it forever. I bet it was a toss up as to who had the most fun, you or them. Bill

Guys, I had the pleasure to drool over it in person today. It is a real looker for sure. The pics don't do it justice. Bill
