The knife I had ready to go is not cooperating, scales keep lifting and I'm not sure if it's the glue or the material or both. So, rather than take a chance sending someone a potentially faulty knife, I have to go with a back up. Not nearly as pretty, but a nice user none the less. I'll have...

Wish we could have got some of that down here. We've been matching and breaking records every day. Was 108 on Friday, 107 yesterday and 104 today. No sign of rain except north of us.

That turned out fantastic! You should definitely do a full on how-to with lots of pictures. Great job!

You take care of yours. There will always be KITHs to participate in. Please keep us updated on how things are going, you are in our thoughts.

Nothing quite like it. But it can take up to a week or 2 for the finish to fully set and cure against marring depending on temperature.

No problems there Sean, life has certainly given it's all here lately.

Just checking in with you guys, making sure this is still a go :). I have my knife just about completed, a few finishing touches are needed but it's basically done. Been very busy on the home front with the baby, finishing our move, working...sheesh...not much time for many other things. What...

Feather pattern is one of my favorites! Man thats a beaut!

Chuck Burrows' DVD from Wild Rose Trading on sheath making is another fine investment. A few tips: -You can groove the front only, set your holes, then run the groover on the back to "connect the dots". -Welts should only be about as thick as the blade. Now, having said that, sometimes it's...

Usually it starts losing it's "fuzz" after 400 grit. So, a 320 grit to 400 grit finish will give you a smooth handle with a little grip.

I agree, kitchen knives and display only knives. I made a lock back folder for a guy's dad using the blue silk fantasy marble. The father had been in the Navy and the design of the blue silk looked like water. Turned out great!

I recently completed 2 kitchen knives using this material from Jantz...fantasy marble, http://www.knifemaking.com/product-p/fm114.htm It, too, is an acrylic. It wasn't wrapped in foam for shipping, just placed scale to scale and into a paper bag then boxed with peanuts. I had absolutely no...

Thank you for that link, there were some magnificent knives given last year! I'm excited to be a part this year and will strive to produce the best knife I can.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but, just how advantageous are these sanders for handle shaping?

Could you not laminate the pieces together?

When you guys do a KITH, do you do a review thread of the knife you received?

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the support sirs. :) So, officially, I would like to be a part of this KITH if you will have me. BTW, I completely forgot to introduce myself! My name is Craig, and I've been a member at bladeforums.com for a while now. I'm an Eagle Scout, 1995. Got started into this hobby with a...

So I have a question... The knives I make, currently, are made from blanks purchased from knifekits.com, jantz and Texas Knife Maker. Blades are usually hand rubbed for an added touch on the finish. I use everything from your basic plain walnut to stabilized redwood burl, micarta/g10...

Very nice! Could you point me in the direction of a tutorial on doing the seed bead sections on the sheath? We have a French & Indian War encampment at a local fort every year and I'd like to start selling some knives there with sheaths along these lines.
