Well that was sure worth the wait! Beautiful knife! I really like that sheath too, great idea.

Agreed! :D I think Ryan's shop, regardless whether he provided any brews, would be preferable to shoveling snow, any day! The city finally got our street cleared today and I got the last round of snow from the plow off our driveway. That's a relief. Maybe it won't snow again for a couple days...

Bruce this might sound weird, but for whatever reason the hammers on your guns are the part that seems to be the most interesting to me. Perhaps it's the sculptural aspect, but no matter what it is that trips my trigger (so to speak), this is one part I've really been looking forward to. So feel...

Thanks Ryan!

Amen to that! I love mine (just the one :)), even though compared to the others here it's completely lame. It's the most accurate pistol I own and I enjoy shooting it more than any weapon I've ever owned. Well, next to my old 45-70 single shot rifle I guess. I normally sleep with it under my...

Integrals are so cool! :cool: That's great work, thanks for sharing.

That's exactly what I wanted to say. I can always let Sean speak for me because he apparently can read my mind. Those are great knives and super sheath work too! I feel lucky tonight to get to see all these cool knives.

Me too! Dang man, you can't say "Japanese" around me and then not share the freakin picture! :D

Way to go Travis! That's a very nice knife and I totally appreciate that you tapered the tang. That makes you a very "makerly" knife maker! ;) Beautiful koa too, with kudos to Phil for parting with it and to you for finishing it off so well. Great knife.

Nathan I always enjoy looking at your super-clean work. Thanks for sharing! Hope to see more soon.

That is sweet! Very classy work, sir. All 10 of my thumbs high in the air!

Nice to see you back Ryan! I hate to think what guiding is like in that cold weather... Yikes! We're more used to that here, but -- I don't go outside much when it's like it is today. We got around 14" of snow yesterday, and today the wind is kicking up to 20-40 mph. Blizzard conditions...

Hey I know that guy! :D Hi John, good to see your mug on here even if IG had to do it for you. Chicken! :D

Man that is a really beautiful knife and sheath! You absolutely have what it takes and should not hesitate to sell your stuff whenever you feel like it. People will quickly inundate you with orders though, so be prepared to say "No" or work your butt off! :)

Oh man Clint, that is out of this world! You are some kind of maker. Thanks for making my day. 2thumbs

Wow, you just gotta love the internet. That video looks excellent! And it made me realize all over again the wealth of instruction that's available today. I almost wish I were young again so I could start over doing something I would find truly rewarding for a career. Since we don't get do-overs...

Excellent! Thanks Bruce. You are a veritable fount of arcane knowledge and sneaky tricks. :D A catalog indeed!

That makes sense. How do you program the space between the coils? Do you do that manually? Thread gearing might be a way to accomplish that too. Hm.

Personally, I think green micarta with red liners is so classic and recognizable, it's a great option. The stability of micarta is an important factor too, not to mention its hardiness vs most stabilized wood. If I could, I'd use only micarta for knife handles. Or for most anything else. :)

Bruce are you making your springs, or do you buy them? If so, I'm curious how they're designated. Is a spring's strength dependent on the wire gauge and diameter? Or some other factor? I'm just curious, not urgent. Have a great day!
