Like many on here i've made a few Knives for Serving personnel etc and also have my own ideas so i started this as a side project to make a Knife that's generally useful to a soldier in the field for everyday tasks but still retains the ability as a last resort self defence weapon...

yes it is very much based on the Native blades the have been developed over a long time to work John sent me his local bought one as the base for the design here it is in CAD to get the geometry and the first go at changing the handle rejected as to shaped Best compliment i've...

This is the Parang i've been working on over the last year with UK forces SERE Chief Instructor John Hudson Specifically for their Jungle training courses as the issue Golock is not suitable and the local boght Brunei Parangs have a tendency for their handles to let go of the blades...

Well after a year of testing and a second prototype with some tweeks today i Dropped of the first batch of 10 Parangs to the SERE Jungle training team in a service station as they were on route to the airport to fly out to Brunei on the next Jungle Instructor Cadre course it has been a busy...

Like that idea have found a different make of liner paint in UK to try with added rubber bits for grip ATB Duncan

Yes its a good idea for a dirty area you can build up a lot of metal dust and it travels every where and stays in the air for a long time if your not careful I split my shop in 2 tho haven't finished the extraction etc yet I do wear a powered head filter tho heres my layout its in...

I use .125" Kydex eyelets ie designed to join 2 thicknesses of .125" on all thicknesses from 2 60 thou up and works fine in fact you get a nice roll basically I've found any eyelet will work any thickness Up to its max So i only buy the longest available saves stocking all the...

I did for a bit make some scribes up from Flat stock if you do 1/4" blades then get a bit of 1/8" stock chisel grind it and harden dont temper or just barely to keep it hard as possible then just place on a flat surface with the edge at the top and use corners to scribe the...

Ok so how does it work

I found some Krylon Fusion in UK so have a can of each colour and a couple of black Cheers Duncan

Ive now watched the videos and yes hes running fast my rig runs at 3600ft/min which is faster than most std hobby KMG clones in UK I love how he makes knives as an Engineer from a Design and production background its how I Make knives or how I want to upgrade to make knives...

Like a bike with gears if you change up you get faster speed wheel for the same speed pedal But it takes more effort so when you hit a hill its gets had work so you have to change down a gear to get more torque same happen on a grinder if you gear it up fast when you lean...

Yes i grinds all my blades after HT very fast its hard to over heat with 36gt ceramic as it chews of the hot stuff before it gets to far I go up to 1300 gt the Norax belts but mostly 400 or 800 I do use a Jig ( well a bit of angle plate and mole grips ) I rarely...

Yes im on BB as well Ping aly on there hes who builds the grinders i use If you over run up to 100 hz and use a lower pully ratio you will get better torque As pulleys step up speed they also step down torque ATB Duncan

mine (UK built KMG clone ) runs 4 step pulley the fastest is 12.5cm ( 5" ) to 5cm (2") which from my 2hp 1 phase 1450 Rpm motor gives me the 3600rpm, on a 100mm ( 4") drive wheel a good speed Which I use 36gt ceramics to eat steel and all grades up to 1300gt Norax...

Must balance ability to slice and if for a pro chef who might be using it for a long time fatigue if your cutting fast you have to stop the blade and change direction on the up and down stroke I can see it not being much fun after a few hundred weight of veg prep (more weight means...

cheers ive started by looking a similar edge profile to yours ie ulu curve to flat but left it on the Ulu handle on as above so a asymmetrical blade shape. lik yours it should give the best of both worlds curved and a straight Like the bristol bay pattern here This is one...

Go to File> Insert> Raster Image Referance select the file you want to import ( dont think it does pdf but will do Jpeg giff etc etc) tick the boxes for Insertion point on screen and scale on screen leave angle not ticked and set to 0 you then get to place the bottom left...

Its not that difficult especially for basic stuff like knives the main PITA is finding the buttons as Acad has hundreds of features covering a wide range of engineering applications for knives you only need the basics ATB Duncan

Cheers just looked at your website Now I really like your Ulu-cleaver blade gonna be difficult to get out on my head when designing my kitchen knife as all your features work for me and i dont like taking others designs. And I like the Chinese Choppers Tho i might do a couple...
