I went yesterday and had a blast! This was my first show that actually had some knife makers. I'm going back today.

I have my Kwik Bar installed on my trusty old Schrade uncle henry, and it works and looks great! I was happy to see that it even came with an allen wrench. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. Thanks Tracy!

http://www.spiritofsteel.com/ anyone going this weekend?

I think it looks pretty cool.

Last Friday a friend of a relative was helping out with a silent auction for a new "no kill" animal shelter, and asked if I might want to donate something. So I picked out what I considered to be one of my best looking knives (a small drop point, 1080 flat grind, oak scales, mirror polish) and...

very nice work! It looks like you might have more of a shaking problem than a focus problem. Try using a tripod, if you don't have one you can sit the camera on anything and use the timer so you're not touching it at all when it goes off.

That looks alot better than my third knife! I really like the look of the double tubes in the back, and it looks really comfortable. Someone once told me If you take a larger drill bit to the ends of that thong hole tubing it will bevel the edges nicely.

Oh wow. i'm gonna try the second way. I would have never thought of that! Thanks Doug.

I'm making a small pukko style knife out of 1095, and I need to peen the end of the tang to hold it all together. I've never done this type of knife before, so my question is... Does anyone have any tips for doing this? Do I try to just clamp the blade in a vise while peening? or stick the tip...

OK so I now have my forge up and running! (major thanks to Wayne Coe) I'll post some pics of it when i get a chance. I think I still have alot of tuning to do. Long story short ...... I FORGED SOMETHING!!!!

Wooo Hoooo! Jackpot! Christmas in March! Big thanks to Patrick, I promise all of this stuff will be used.(I was completely out of metal!) I got ALOT more than i was expecting! 2 pieces of 1095 2 pieces of 52100 a huge chunk of 440c 416 and 303 Stainless lots of brass for liners a...

It's in Sevierville, TN. http://www.bulldogknives.org/id1.html I went last year, there was only one table with supplies, but at TON of collections. It's worth a visit if you're near by.

Thank you sir!

Ok i made an anvil (doing the best i can with what i have), and i also would like to make some hardy tools. could someone tell me what size the hardy hole is on a real anvil? i'm thinking 1" square but i'm not sure. Also, same question about the pritchel hole. Adam

I couldn't agree more! I was on some other forums, but I finally wised up! This forum seems much more like a group of friends. My stupid questions are tolerated much more here. :lol:

Mr. O'neil goes to the doctor. “Well, Mr. O'neil,” said the doctor. “I can’t quite diagnose your case. I think it must be the drink.” “Sure, that’s all right, doc,” said Mike. “I know how you feel. I’ll come back when you’re sober.”

I have to admit, I am a little shy about posting pics of my knives.... all I see are the imperfections. People seem to like them, but sometimes I think that's just because they don't know any better. lol!

I have made about 20 knives now... sunk alot more money than I should in machinery and materials... made countless stupid mistakes, and fixed most of them.... I spend about 5 hours a day grinding, sanding, and profiling... I've even sold a few... So.. my question is.. When can I officially call...

I tried that already... the propane hose has to have a special fitting... I think it's called a P.O.L. disregard question. :) I found what i need.

That is soooo true about the drill press!
