OK Dogs, got my stencil and etched my blade today 2thumbs! Let me know what you think!

Welcome!!

Thanks Seved! Very nice work!

Thanks Seved and Mike! This one is flat but I wasn't sure if people also did them hollow> I appreciate the info! Well dogs, do you like the Scandi grinds? Show me some pics!

OK Dogs, I am working on my 3rd knife after destroying #2! I am interested in Scandi grinds but have a few questions. Is a Scandi grind typically a Flat grind or a Hollow grind? Can it be either? Any info you can give me concerning Scandi's would be appreciated!:D Here are a couple of pictures...

Happy Birthday!! I love the door mat!

A spear? Hmmmm, I never thought of that!! I might still have enough steel to make that work!cool 1 I just got some more steel and have a new design I hope to work on this weekend. I think I have learned a lot from my 2nd knife and how not to destroy the next one. One thing is because I spent the...

Hey Dogs! Thanks for the comments. I had a virus on my computer and had to wipe it out in order to get it to work again,..bummer. Anyway, I won't be posting any pictures of my #2 knife because I destroyed it!! I overground it after heat treat and could not get it even and so I overground it some...

It's not a "man bag", it's a "European Carry all"!! Not that there's anything wrong with that!! LOL, Thanks guy's!

OK Dogs, some final pictures. First I want to thank everyone who commented over the course of this thread. James, Nathan, Chris, Al, John, Jeff, etc. I really appreciate the input on this journey. My girlfriend sent me the picture of the knife on her purse. I think she is trying to say it...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments! I have to agree on the handle part Nathan. I wasn't sure that this part would be all that great but seeing and feeling the handle take shape is pretty cool. I am overall pretty pleased with this knife. It is not "perfect" but it has been a lot of fun from...

OK Dogs, I had some time tonight and was able to work on my handle. It was pretty cool to see and feel it take shape!! It still has some work that needs to be done but I'm happy with what I was able to get accomplished tonight. How should I finish it? What grit do you take it to? Let me know...

Thanks James! I wont even ask! I do understand what you mean, this is not even near the knife it started out to be. I read somewhere on Knifedogs that there are no mistakes or errors, only design changes!

OK Dogs, I decided to go with the blade as is. I wanted this knife to be as perfect as possible but I came to the realization (with the help of my girlfriend!) That this knife doesn't need to be perfect! It just needs to get finished so I can learn the process. I glued the handle on tonight. It...

Thanks guys, I hope to give it another try today if I have time. I do have a question. I took the blade down to 16X and then tried to polish it with a cork belt and some Green Chrome, it worked OK but no matter how many times I tried to polish it I still end up with some distortions in the...

Well dogs, today was just not my day!! I wasn't happy with this grind near the tip on one side and decided to take it back down and fix it. I started back at 120 and brought it back to 16X. That part went semi-ok! Then once I was done I started working on my handle. I traced, sawed, and then...

Wow Liz!! Just,.....WOW!!! Impressive.

Thanks CarpScot! I am chompin at the bit to get back out in the shop but haven't had time yet this week. Maybe this weekend!

I'm glad it found its way home Chris!

Thanks Jeff! I have been working on a second blade but want to get this handle going, hopefully this weekend.
