Some client knives 2020

2020 This was my first larger order (7, didn't post them all) and starting to do sheaths (but still pretty rough)

Some of these were sold, charity auctions, etc. 2018 or 2019'ish

Believe it or not, I just found this subforum. Here ya go. The first post starts with knives from about 2016 This was my first. The blade is a blank from usaknifemaker. I made 3 of these, one for me and two for my kids. That hooked me... This was my first actual grind (after many practice...

Finished this up just in time. My Son's 16th bday party is this weekend. Hopefully the case gets here in time. Only sliced myself once on this one! 16" OAL 154-CM Stainless Mokume Guard A.Blackwood/Brass/Copper/Stainless accents Muskox horn Mammoth Scales

I read this wrong. I thought the final recipient modified the handle but it was your relative. So yeah, do what MTBob suggested. Very un-cool of the relative. Send the relative the re-handling bill!

I can't say I know which site you are referring to. But when I've done some google searches for "how to" stuff I've run across posts/threads on other knife forums where the discussions weren't "productive". Not sure why people need to behave that way. I haven't seen very much of that going on...

I would reach out to the purchaser and recipient and let them know that that is no longer my knife due to the modifications - no warranty, etc. etc. You could also offer to do what Dennis suggested and that would maintain the warranty but certainly not for free! I keep pictures of every knife...

I generally do one layer at a time and if I'm bending it, I bend each one, glue it, and then move onto the next. The sheets bend easily to fit and can be done with your thumb or something else that you can push with. Of course I can't speak for exactly how the original OP did it.

Those are going to be alternating layers of stainless sheets and thin black liner material. You can buy them in different thicknesses to get different looks.

I use those same stands for a particular client. $10 on Amazon!

I would do flat grinds. Most of mine are hollow and that's only because it was how I started. It really is a pain in the butt to keep the lines straight, thicknesses, etc. etc. I've actually started to transition away from hollow just for those reasons. Plus, with a flat grind you can opt not...

winner winner chicken dinner!

Last one from a batch of 7

The one I bought is spelled Rolecks, guess I got a super good one!

So, I'm hoping that I'm mistaken on this and if I am I am sorry. But I saw a post on Facebook on Mark Knapps page about some medical issues. Seems serious. https://www.givesendgo.com/Markthefisherman

Any update on using one of these for guards, etc.?

Bowie work in progress for my son's 16th Bday (june 20, yikes...). I borrowed some "style" from one of our fellow masters. Any guesses?
