I'm curious - what is it used for? Tim

Hey Curtis, Did I already send you this info on Bladeforums? B2Bprofessionaltools.com handles Grobet and several other brands. Call (760) 322-6037 and ask for Tom. Nice guy and may give you a discount Tim

I agree - I would jump on a 10 lpi but Grobet quit making them. I think 20 lpi is all they make, but Tom at b2b will know.

The SWAG table has a hole at each corner (4) so you can bolt it to the work bench.

Grobet files are the best I have found. They make a 20 lpi for use with on steel. The West Coast supplier is b2b. Phone is (760) 322-6037. Ask for Tom. It's called a Pillar Checkering File. They also make a Knife File for jimping. Tim

I made some anti-scuff strips for a boat part using HDPE that was 6' long by 1 1/2" wide by 1/4" thick. I assembled the whole thing in Washington and took it to Miami for a boat show. The strip was screwed to the part every 2'. By the second morning the strip had expanded at least 1" between...

Thanks Kelly, Most of the replys call for 2.75 to 3" long by .75 wide. Pointy end with top .75" also sharpened. Think I will try that first. Tim

I want to design a capeing knife to go with the skinners I make. I'm not a hunter so I'm looking for recommendations for blade size and shape. All suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks Tim

I, too, am using M390 for skinners. How many moose were you able to skin without sharpening the blade. Tim

Bruce, How much are the SS guides? I want one of each. Tim

Hey Anthony, You'er lucky - none of my family even want one of my knives. They'd have to admit my skinners are better than anything they have, after they picked them apart before seeing them. Who'd want a M390 hardened to Rc 62 when they could have a Buck?

What is Kirinite?

If your VFD is converting 120v single phase to three phase and you have a GFI in the circuit, you are probably blowing the GFI. After you have done that several times the GFI is ruined. Happened to me. I had to plug the VFD into a 220v single phase circuit (clothes dryer) and buy a new VFD...

If you are looking for drill bits for Corby bolts try www.knifekits.com. They have several sizes - I just ordered KKSD3 drill (.250 x .187 ) $15.95 for 1/4" Corby bolts. It looks stronger than the ones from Jantz

I like the recurve grind. What is a radius platten? Can you show some pictures? Thanks. Tim37

Thanks Jason, Ed, Karl, and Laurence. I don't have a reputation yet so I guess I'll have to try offering innovative designs and using excellent materials. I agree that Tactical knives seem to be all the rage right now but I don't particularly want to get into that type of knife. I prefer to...

I am just starting out in knife making. In my younger years I was a backpacker and a sailor and I wanted a particular knife for each activity. I was never able to find either knife so I decided to make knives for specific activities. At this point I have prototypes of skinning knives, a...

As an ex boatbuilder, I used to flame West System epoxy to remove air bubbles. It works great and I never had a problem.
