Well, to say that I thoroughly enjoyed myself at The Knifemakers Guild Show would be an understatement!:lol: It was really nice meeting you guys and being able to put a face with a name on the screen. Congratulations to Calvin for successfully having his knives pass the scrutiny of the...

Digitus....latin for finger...I think it looks like a thumb print or Daumen....german for thumb...

I'll be heading out in the morning. I've written down the Knife Dogs that posted in this thread and will try to stop by to say Hi to each of you. I'm actually pretty exited about this.:) See you there. Neil

The round end of a small ball peen hammer is what I use. I also cut the pins just a hair longer than "flush" to mushroom them out. the round end makes a nice "dimpled" texture. The smaller the hammer, the smaller the "dimple". You can also make a "hand hammered" finish on brass bolsters or...

Thanks!

Any possibility of getting a link to the instructions? Looks like something that would be fairly easy to do for a newbie like myself. Thanks

Thanks Mike. By the way, really nice video:35:....had to cover my keyboard with plastic to keep the drool from ruining it!:lol:

Thanks guys for the words of wisdom. Looking forward to seeing you. Just curious, would it be inappropriate of me to bring one or two of my knives with me, not to sell, but to get some feed back and/or pointers from the experts on my work? I seriously doubt that my work is of the quality...

Thanks Stan. Neil

Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't even dream of picking up someones knife without asking first. My only worry is offending someone if I ask to see the knife when I have no intentions of buying it.

Oh, forgot....will you be there Saturday and Sunday Calvin? If so, it would be pretty nice to meet someone from Knife Dogs... Let me know and we can exchange info on a way to contact each other.

I made a reservation for Saturday night, so unless something bizarre happens I should be there Saturday and Sunday. Really looking forward to this. It will be my first "knife show"...meaning a show ONLY about knives...being a newbie, I'm sure I will be walking around with my chin on the floor...

Looks MUCH nicer than any of the shanks that I have confiscated from inmates over the years. The test of leaving it out in the elements for 2 years shows how good of a steel 5160 is. Looks pretty nice too.

Sorry if this was posted earlier, I couldn't find it if it was. Any Knife Dogs going to be there? I did recognize Cliff Fendely on the list of table holders, not sure of any others. I'll tell ya what, that hotel is some swanky digs!! I just checked and the KMG rate is $129.00 per night...

I haven't had any trouble with the Blaze belts curling up, but I do have trouble with the Norax ones looking like curly fries during the high humidity we have here in Ohio during the summer. I like the idea of putting something in the bottom curve to keep them just taught enough to not curl. I...

Same here Franklin...I'd LOVE to have one!...

I use cobalt bits from Do it Best Hardware. Been going to this local store for years and the guy told me that the Do it Best brand cobalt bits have a lifetime guarantee. I said "even if I snap it in two?"...he said "yep"....I haven't had to test the life time guarantee yet though, but he's never...

Makes me wanna set up and HOWL at the moon!....WOW!!

I highly recommend Wayne. Great guy to deal with and the customer service is awesome too. He answered all my questions without hesitation....and there were quite a few, weren't there Wayne? I'm loving my VFD and 1.5 hp motor that I got from Wayne. I put them on my NWG that I modified so it...

Wow! Looking like an outstanding blade Randy! I can't wait to see it etched either!! Great WIP...you and Randy Jr. make quite a team....wish I could have done something like this with my dad. Fond memories are being made....
