This week marks my 1 year anniversary for making knives. Got to celebrate with the completion of my first full tang/ finger guard knife. I know I've got a long ways to go but it sure is fun getting there. Special thanks to Fred King ( my teacher) and everyone elses generosity on this forum, you...

made this lil guy for a friend. the knife with the brass was a gift from his dad many years ago and he wanted a knife that was close in size and shape to give back to his dad. here's what I came up with. thanks for looking. Danny stock removed 1/8 52100 hollow ground and polished nickel and...

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I got two more orders this week, hope this doesn't start a butcher knife trend for me, I like making knives for outdoor uses alot more. Thanks again. Danny

forged 5160, 9 in OAL hand finished to 800 grit brass bolsters and pins with maple handle this one was pretty cool to make, learned alot about bolsters and some new stuff about pins. I think this is knife number 10, to tired to think tonight. thanks for looking:steve:

I've been using 5160 for it's ease of forging and heat treat, and if edge quinched properly you can produce a slight hamon in it. BUUUUUT, a couple months back I had the opportunity to buy and use Aldo's 1084, I must say, I've got a new addiction!!!! I just can't put it down!!! :D

steel Aldo's 1084 or some 5160. If your not careful forging O1 you can turn it into cottage cheese. Good luck, and happy beating!!!:D

Very cool, I bought several bearings at Batson's this year, Can't wait to try one out. If it turns out a 1/3 as good as this one I'll be happy. Great job.

Thanks for the info guys, Kelly was right on with what I needed. Danny

WTB 12" CONTACT WHEEL, SERRATED OR SMOOTH Looking for a 12" contact wheel, doesn't have to be new, if it needs recovering with rubber or even if it's a little warped I'm interested. Let me know what you got. Thanks Danny

Most knives I don't take the edge to sharp when it is in annealed condition. This one I did, and after the belt grinder hogged off a little metal, you can see the pile of paper on the floor from hand sanding (being annealed helped to sharpen by hand sanding) Once the blade was somewhat sharp I...

Ernie, I've never used a jig so please excuse my ignorance. Do you just slide the jig back and forth across the table. If so, is there a fence or something to slide the jig against or do you free hand that part. Thanks for the post. Danny

A customer approached me about a knife he could use to carve his walking sticks. He had a basic design in his head and here's what we came up with. It was a real challenge getting the curve to shave hairs but it finally gave in. It's Aldo's 1084 with micarta scales. The wine color handled knife...
