I don't have room for a dedicated SG so the attachment is my only choice.

I'm at the very same point. I'm gonna get the SG attachment first because I can make a user grade folder without a mill but like you said an SG is really important for keeping everything flat and parallel. I will eventually have both though. I just thought of another factor. The SG attachment...

I'll play. PM sent.

Totally missed that. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Matt-Sometimes you can put the blade and guard in a vise and hit the vise with a hammer as you tighten it. This allows you to squeeze the guard together to close the slot. You'll have to re-finish the guard but it will save the time and trouble of making a new...

Thanks Les.

Ok, here is my entry. It is 1/8" AEB-L @ 62 RC with a full flat grind and a 600X hand rubbed finish. The blade is 2 & 5/8" from tip to bolsters and is 1 & 3/16" wide @ the Ricasso. The handle is Sambar Stag and is ~3.5" long. Overall length is ~6 & 1/8". Bolsters & pins are 416 stainless. This...

I've never used one but have been thinking about getting one. I have one question. If you do small to medium sized full tang blades would the abrasive round the tangs enough to cause problems when fitting the handle scales?

Tracy, Aldo, & Niagra had it in 36" bars at one time. Not sure if they still do.

I'm with Ed, I hate using it because it is a pain to work. I highly recommend epoxying it to G-10 liners and then flooding the faces with CA BEFORE doing any cutting, drilling, grinding, ETC..

I figured out what to say Mr. Don. I wish it was MINE!!!!! HEHEHE

The proper term is cyanoacrylate. Its just a fancy name for super glue. I would demand my money back if I got something like that.

I don't quite know what to say.

Definitely quartersawn Sycamore. Makes great knife handles. It looks wild when dyed & stabilized.

Nice work, as usual. The swedge looks great. I can never do nice Koa justice with my photography either.

The original cash outlay of 5 gallons of P-50 is about 2x more than 5 gallons of Canola but when you consider that P-50 will last 5-6 years vs. 1-2 for Canola, P-50 is actually CHEAPER than Canola. Either way, the cost per blade is so low, that any serious maker should use the best oil available...

You may wanna check into having them cut by a waterjet. It probably wont be as much as you think. I'm thinking $3-$5 per piece and they will be able to get many more out of the same piece of steel. Just a thought.

I make custom blades/blanks for people on occasion. Use the info. listed in my sigline to contact me, a phone call is best. After I have a better idea of what you want I can give you a you a firm quote.

Aldo has a lot of stuff that isn't listed on his website. Give him a call. If he doesn't already have what you want, he can probably get it.

Mine is finished. Hand rubbed AEB-L with 416 SS bolsters & Sambar Stag scales. I'll get some pics posted when I get some pants made for it.
