Where are you located? I have a buddy who collects old militaria items and I may be able to get you a referral to dealers he knows if there is one close to you. You can always check with "Collector's Firearms" in Houston. They used to buy alot of things like this. I advise you do your homework...

No, I don't think so. Do a google search for Steve. You'll find his photo.

I caught that last night. Good looking work! I think your knife is the first thing I've been impressed with on the three or four episodes of the show I have caught. They always seem to over embelish their stories to make it sound as though they are the first to do something. Kind of like the...

Congratultions! She's a beautiful little girl.

Laurence, I have only spoken to Steve on a few occassions but I could be about 99% certain that it is not the same man. The only M.S.s I know of with recent military service are Ed Caffrey and John Horrigan. I believe both of them have been retired for 10+ years.

Beautiful work Karl !

Can one of you guys do a step by step? I have a small one with the Orton digital controller that I purchased used and I did not receive a manual.

LOL, thanks guys!!! It has been a great day spending time with friends and lovely wife. I even submitted an application packet to return to active duty (and saying my prayers and keeping my fingers crossed that I am the one of the four applicants chosen for the position). Here's to at least...

Welcome to the pack.

I've had really good luck using CLP (Cleaning Lubricant Protectant, the stuff we us on our weapons). I have an EDC that I have been carrying for the past six months with no issues. Every couple of weeks I put a few deips of CLP on it and wipe it down.

Jeff who? Good to see things are aettling down to where you have time to come out and play brother. Hope all is well.

I've been debating this as well. I've seen photos of several guys set ups they have in their shops and I've looked at several vacuum systems. I know of some guys who use a high powered shop vac and others who use an actual vacuum system. The great thing about an actual system is that they have...

The only advice I can offer is to restate what Laurence said, "WEAR A RESPIRATOR!!!". G-10 is awesome handle material, but it is some nasty stuff that makes a horrible mess of your shop when grinding. Be sure you have good ventilation in your shop and whatever you do, DO NOT get around family...

Ben is really good people. We met while Nadine and I were living in San Antonio and I was going thru blade withdrawl. Ben graciously invited me into his shop and taught me how to carve and wrap a tsuka as well as how to cast menuki, fuchi, kashira, and tsuba using the lost wax method. I really...

Here ya go Stabber. Here are a couple of pics of it after forging. One as it hangs next to others he forged that day and one "in hand". Lastly, is a pic after having been rough ground.

Check with Ben Kreiser at http://japaneseswordsltd.com . Ben is a great guy and usually keeps Ito in stock in numerous colors as well as untanned Same. If you have trouble reaching him thru his site, drop me a PM. I have a couple of different numbers on him.

Stabber, I'll have to send you pics of my Crowell 25th Anniversary Bowie (25th Anniversary as a MS) when Jim finishes it. It's going to be a BEAST, 10" x 2.25" W-2 blade. :D

Those are beauties Stabber. Of course, I love the Crowell Bowies.

Looks like your dad found a treasure chest for you brother. Cherish it well as I know you will. I'm sure one day you will be passing these on as well and will enjoy the same smile your father did when he handed them to you.

I heard rumor of this a few days ago. Congratulations Bill !!! Your hard work is paying off and it couldn't happen with a better example of your work. The RB is an awesome design.
