    Jigs: Curse or Cure?

    If some one has their blades cut out on a water jet and then does everything else by hand and some else does everything by hand except grind their bevels is one of those knives less handmade than the other? I don't think so. I to used to be a carpenter and still make the occasional piece of...

    Jigs: Curse or Cure?

    I was taught that you are only as good as your tools. I was also taught that your hands are tools. So I guess what I'm trying to say is there are a lot of different paths to get to the same place and in this case jig or not it starts with your hands. You have to use your hands to freehand,use a...

    Ghost olive drab G-10

    Johnny that's what it looks like. I got about a 4'x4 sheet of it. I put a black liner under it. I'm kinda anxious to see how much that changes the look of it.

    Ghost olive drab G-10

    I ran on to some olive drab colored G-10 that was really opaque. Don't know what to call other than Ghost olive drab. Just wandering if anyone else has ever seen it. I'm trying it on one of my drop points just hope it looks as good as I think it will when I'm done cause it's the KITH knife.

    What "really" makes you take notice of a knife??

    I want a knife that looks it's moving. I try to make all my knives off this theory. I can't say that I succeed but that's where they start. No stainless. Sorry. Holds a good edge. Skin out a Whitetail deer and wild turkey without resharpening. Balanced and feels good in the hand...

    BUFFER ACCIDENT

    Glad your alright. The buffer is a wicked beast. I've lost three knives to this monster myself. I decided to hold on to every thing I buff like it was my last dime. I paid for that yesterday. I got some serious friction burns yesterday when I was buffing but I didn't lose the knife. It's kinda...

    Christmas in july KITH 2010

    I've just about got my KITH knife finished. I've only been at it about two years so I consider myself still a fledgling. Just for the record whoever gets my knife should feel free to critisize as harshly as you see fit. Criticism is what makes me better because in the back of my tiny little...

    Buck Sirus problem

    I've always been a trapper carrier. About a week ago I got a Buck Sirus. It is an assisted open and up until I used it the first time it opened with some serious authority. After I used it once it sounds like it got some grit in it and now it is almost no assist. Is this common? I've never...
