Never mind and please don’t flame I found my answer in another thread on here.

Very nice! Like the leather also

Paul Long sheath! You picked one of the most desirable sheath makers in the world to put your stuff in. There lol! If your doing kitchen stuff 99% of people your making knives for would have no clue what a true gem you just handed them. That said if you keep it somewhat simple on the maker, and...

90% of what I make are Sheaths for kitchen knives. I’m also known to not dry a blade off perfectly all the time. Got to seal the inside before you stitch it up. Simple Elmers glue and water would work fine and it’s food safe. I line most of my work in deer skin “ Paul Long style” I’ve never...

I know it’s a old post but I figured WTH I’m here checking things out anyway lol I do a lot of thick 4+ layer projects. Saddle soap and a stick or antler of some sort is the tri and true method ( and totally works). Many ( including myself) sand, then there’s burnishing/ polishing. What do all...

Hi all: Before I possibly waste my time or worse, I’m wanting to run a step pulley driven KMG in Reverse for knife sharpening. I personally find it easier to get right angle and see bur grinding that way. Anyone know if the following would work and or if there is a better way? From an internet...

A+++ Western handle single bevel yanagi is quite possibly the hardest kitchen nice to pull off! Is it for sale

Japanese style handles can also work well

'And as another option, I love the very old style ones, and prefer them over newer cleavers. I look at the meat cleaver as kind of a lost art. Once the bandsaw replaced the cleaver in the butchering industry things just have not been the same.

See pins, very old " classic Knife "

A lot also depends on the look you're going for, when going custom looks can make a big difference. No point in going through all the trouble to make a knife to put a plain Jane handle on it (IMO) that sad: I agree with HHH wood picks, G10 and Macarta do hold up well in a kitchen but many...

Never made one but I know a few guys that have. The interesting thing ( at least I thought so) was they did stock removal from a rod rather then twist it to form. Don't know if that helps any lol

Very nice work! I do a lot of multi blade sheaths, that's a good looking one you made there

Just picked this up. I don't think the guy knew what he had or it's possible it's a knock off? Beautiful Knife either way super excited

I'm assuming you're going to grind the blade convex? from the picture it looks like you might be doing a grind, I would recommend against that. Love the look of the loveless bolts, and the blade design looks good

How about skiving the ends of the straps that are to be attached? Might make for a cleaner finished look?

1st happy holidays everyone hope all are well and safe. Just to let anyone know who might be interested I just got an email the other day (and placed an order for) Paul's new DVD. It's about makeing folder cases. I have Pauls other DVDs (terrific stuff) and I'm glad he decided to make another...

update I wound up getting one made from Bill this was a Christmas gift, nice gift and since this is the sheath forum, here's the sheath I made for it I came up with this " clam shell " design before Paul made his last video that showed instructions on how to make...

When fixing Photo links for some of my old posts by request of a member I noticed I never showed off my new cobra.... Did some custom mods myself (just cosmetic) Well I guess this Rosewood draw is not just cosmetic ( no making fun, I'm not much of a wood worker)
