I found this Hen & Rooster knife I forgot about. I realized why when I looked closer, lousy sheath. Poorly made and I could pull the knife out with the snap closed. Well I'm no leather worker and have only a rotary leather punch and a couple of small punches but do have leather. A utility...

I always wondered about these Kershaw Golden Series from the late 80's but never liked the fact that I couldn't find any with the origional sheaths. Just the display box. The boxes are nice but not for me. There was Golden Boar, Golden Eagle and Golden Bear. Well I saw a Golden Boar with the...

Hello all. I was doing some research awhile back on application of this wax and discovered some interesting thoughts on a violin makers/restorers forum. Instead of an hour between coats as suggested by the manufacturer, they suggested 12 to 24 hours on their forum. The thought being to wait...

Well I knew when I got my first two I would want another. Picked this one up at auction as well. Warthog tusk scales, N690 stainless, tapered full tang and beautiful fit and finish like my previous two. I believe it's older than the others and is developing a nice warm patina on the scales that...

Hello, I am wanting to use some dyed stabilized bone for a couple of knife handles and wonder about UV damage. I already have the stabilized bones (wildebeast) but didn't think to ask before buying them about UV resistance. I contacted the seller and inquired as to what resin they were...

Hello all. I have this nice little stag antlered steak knife by Anton Wingen Jr. with colored etching on the blade. Does anyone know what they used to color the etching and if it's food safe?

I bought this blade blank awhile back and put it in a walnut handle. At first I liked how dark it looked but for some reason it just didn't look right with that handle. The handle isn't finished yet so it will be alot darker once finished. The blade is 5160, 15n20 and Ni200. I decided to...

Hi. I'm retired and started researching and putting together knives a while back (I don't forge or really want to). I have lots of time now and started putting together my own knives so I could get exactly the right fit, balance, type of steel, blade design etc. that I want in different knives...
