Good lookin' blades sir. I spent about 6 months in a trailer working behind the Love's gas station on the west end of town. We were cleaning gasoline out of the ground from a leaking tank. That's been about about 6-7 years ago. I came back for about a month and climbed many of the Suzlon wind...

It is a good design. I use a very similar one for my knives. If you do it right it will be comfortable and easy to keep a hold of. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Sold my first knife to a real customer today, by real I mean not friend or family. Feels good to make a sale. The customer liked it a lot and wants the larger version to match. Now I have to Finnish another.

Carbide can be run faster than hss drill bits, the hardness though after heat treating will dictate you slowing down. Definitely use cutting oil.

Those cowpokes are about to throw down. Well done!

Here is one I'm still working on. It's a "Roughneck" 8" version. Olympic dymondwood handle scales. I have to make a sheath, coat the handles with oil, and sharpen it.

This will make short work of that holiday bird. Very nice! Happy Thanksgiving.

I'd second that!

Your leather work is killer, simple, and well executed. The knife aint terrible either. Love em'.

Sounds like you were running way to slow. Speed it up and listen to it as you cut. Make sure you don't get chatter, vibration, squealling, etc. Don't take a pass at more than half of your cutter's diameter, .125" in your case. I would start with .010" and move up from there. Let us know how it...

Now we're talkin'!

I don't know what you're milling or the feed rate your using, however, milling at 250 may be a bit slow for what you are doing. If you try to feed the material into a mill turning to slow you are trying to take to much material off with every rotation of the mill. That would definitely eat up an...

http://www.vm68.com/stuff/sfpm.html A link to recommended surface feet per minute. The formula for cutting speed in RPM is 3.82xSFM/tool diameter. The chart in the link says 90 is a good SFM for 1095. Now plug 90 into the formula, and I'll assume you have a .500" end mill. So the Formula would...

Your speed all depends on your material and the diameter of your cutting tool, In this case it's your end mill. What are you cutting, and what is you end mill size?

I'm in owasso. Welcome to the sight.

This thing is sweet. Very well done. I hope to pull off a bowie at some point in the future.

Nobody wins in a knife fight.

I like the documentation you're doing on your progression. It's very helpful to the new guys.

I like the finish on the blade with the carbon fiber handle scales. This one is very nice.
