Hello everyone. I usually peen my pins with a small peen hammer and sometimes miss and ding up the handles. What is a good dye, or process to use to dome pins on antler scales without causing damage to the scale material? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I finished this one today and the guy who ordered it couldn't follow through with the payment.:2: This knife has a white paper micarta. It kinda looks like bone. I like it. I dinged up and scratched the steel to give it a more rustic look. I also left the scale from the heat...

Well this is officially my first folder completed. I am so giddy, and my wife was almost impressed.:o Its a friction folder, and a little rough around the edges so it will stay with me. It is 1084 steel with orange g10 scales. It seems to operate just fine. The only thing that I really didn't...

Would the fork perform well at the annealed state or should it be hardened and tempered down further than a...
