Yes I will be the first to admit that patent is not my best point. I will definitely not use the oven again .I have heard of people using dehydrators so the oven on low sounded like a good idea NOT. The leather Hamon is a great idea its all on how you look at it LOL. Thanks for all the info ...steve

Thanks guys. All great suggestions, it could be my well water - so I will start using distilled although, I'm pretty sure it is the use of the oven - first time i've done it and first time i've had these problems. Back to good old air dry! Here is the south it can take days.... Steve

It does look like a water line it is very slightly raised. I didn't see it before I dyed it. I was thinking it might have to do with the welt drying at a different rate or something. I have never had this problem before. Is there anything that can be done? any suggestions ? Thanks

Maybe so - it seem quite dry after wet molding before I dyed. I used the oven on very low to dry - it's the first time I've ever tried that, maybe it was that?

Finished this sheath, wet molded and everything was fine. I dyed it and ended up with some type of watermark along the welt, with a slight ridge to it - what happen? I tried re-staining, still there, suggestions - anyway to fix it now? Thanks for any info. Steve

I use to stamp all my knives . Made a little press to press the stamp in . I forge and taper the tang and blade so when I used the press more times than not I would bend the knife and it would drive me crazy so I started etching instead it seems much more consistent. also never seemed to get an...

These are some great looking knives. I saw them at the blade. I enjoyed talking to you and thanks for sharing your info on pricing. This being my first knife show as a seller it was a total blast and looking forward to next year.....

Very cool ! I have been looking at the tire hammer or a Hyd press. the problem I have with a hammer is my shop floor is already cracked and if I ran a hammer on it I think it would turn to dust. Looking for some videos when you get it. I have the plans to build one though I would not trust...

never heard of it. is it SS or carbon steel ? must be good if it cost that much LOL

Great Idea . I have been debating getting a disc grinder. I mostly flat grind all my knives so it seems like it would be a big help. I am thinking it might be my next tool . steve

Yes it all makes perfect sense now . I was thinking it was building up in the grinder not me . Here in North Carolina the humidity is high so I don't normally have much of a problem or very little but the last few days I haven't been able to get my hair to lay flat.. LOL thanks for all the...

I will have to check that ( bracelet ) out thanks for the info who would think you need static protection working on computers didn't know they were that sensitive.. Ernie I did run a ground from the grinder to a separate ground and it didn't work. The static guard does work used it today not...

Thanks for the info. Yes I am running a ceramic platen . I wouldn't think here in the south humidity would be a problem. I will try the spray, Change my shoes and I will have to research the bracelet thing never heard of them... at this point I am tired of getting zapped and will try anything...

Has any one else had problems with static electricity discharge when grinding? It is mostly from the more aggressive grit belts, it shocks the *&^% out of me. I have run extra ground wire on the grinder without any help. If I run a ground off the knife it works, but a real pain. Thanks Steve
