Nice! I like rasps knives.

I found that the abuse of heat caused it to shrink when working it. I also caught it before it became a problem. I tell my clients that request it not to store it in the trunk of their cars or anywhere that heat can effect it before they get it. I also include that info on the delivery form they...

Thanks for the info!

:s12205: Welcome to KD!

I've used it several times since it came out with no problems. I grind the tang side of the scales to 120, knife tang to 120, and GFlex epoxy pretty much like Laurence. The difference is I've used both pins and Corbys for mechanical attachment. I still have the first one I made in the house as...

In my case most of my knives are gone before they are finished or they are custom orders. Knives made outside of those are inventory for small craft shows and rarely last the weekend. I have a small and medium size knife that I make for shows in many different combos. Never thought much about...

There's a few in my shop too! At times you run to a point were you just don't see it anymore and move on to the next one till you do.

I've install a monitor and have the vent ready for an exhaust system in my new shop. Got a foot injury which has kept me out of the shop for the last 7 months. Thus have not completed the install. http://m.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1932761 You can see the vent hole in the...

B, it is once again! I would even add a little flare out at the ricasso to act as a bit of a guard. That would help keep the hand when moist from slipping forward.

I mainly forge to about 90%. I hammer my edge to the thickness of a nickel, grind to the thickness of a dime, then heat treat. Seems to work fine. Also do my own heat treating. For handle attachment I leave the tang at 120 grit, use GFlex epoxy with Corby Screws for mechanical attachment on...

Well nicely crafted pieces!

Your best one to date! JMHO As you know I really like purple heart. Overall this is a very nice package!

A nice looking blade. Looks like it would get the job done...

Very Neo looking! Nice cord wrap on the handle..

Good save! I like purple heart.

Been there and I feel your pain. John has given you the answer for this one. I just want to share what I now do to allow me to resolve the issue when, not if, it happens on a future knife. I leave the ricasso longer until I'm near done with the grinding and remove the extra material from the...

Here's a photo of one using the checkering file from Jantz. It's a 20 lpi file.

Mark the blade. Till you make 100 knives and get a idea about how this is done do what has been proven to work. Novelty is different but, proven ideas work best. All masters followed the path till they learned enough to lead the way with their own experiences. In other words. Don't waste your...

Very nicely crafted!
