Looks great.

Ironwood and recon turquoise. Feedback appreciated.

Hi Les. I saw you there but didn't get a chance to say hi. You always have a busy table. That's good. I'll make it a point to stop by next time. This time I went straight to the K&G table to get first pick of material. I think I did good.

Good job. Now go make some more :biggrin:

It's a small show, but we don't get too many here in southern California. I'm planning to visit this weekend. Anyone else going?

Beautiful knife. Such attention to detail.

Thanks all.

Here is my latest. It was my first time using mammoth ivory and also my first (successful) carved sheath. OAL: 8 1/2″ Blade: 3 1/2″ cutting edge, 1/8″ CPM154, Heat treated to 61-62 HRC with cryo treatment, Tapered Tang, Hand Finished to 1000 grit Handle:Mammoth Ivory Additional: Mosaic...

Very nice. And the dice idea is cool.

Personally I like both B and D. D has a little more flare. But B is a more straightforward, simple design. You should factor in the types of knives you make when you decide.

I made a kydex sheath for my personal knife. The knife is small enough to carry in my pocket and it's nice to take out and show people a real example when discussing my hobby. The kydex was nice and durable, and did great in my pocket, but it scratched the 400-grit finish on my blade. It also...

I like the looks of the thick liners. Nicely done

Welcome neighbor.

Hi All, I recently finished this camp knife with a carbon fiber handle. Feel free to contact me if you are interested or would like more info OAL: 9 1/2″ Blade: 4 1/4″ cutting edge, 5/32″ CPM154, Heat treated to 58 HRC with cryo treatment from Peter's Heat Treat, Recurve, Hand Finished to...

This page has loads of information on the different wheels and buffing compounds. http://www.caswellplating.com/buffman.htm

Weatherman. I wouldn't recommend mixing compounds on the same wheel. It contaminates the wheel with the coarsest compound. You can hand sand, then use one wheel for green compound (K&G makes a good one) and one for finishing with pink. Keep the wheels in separate bags. I use the cheap sewn...

Laurence, I go to the shows to stock up on supplies and talk with other knife makers. I haven't got a table yet - mainly because I don't have a lot of inventory. I will definitely stop by your shop and say hi next time I'm in your neighborhood. I'm always interested in more local knife shows...

Thanks for the feedback! Frank - As far as stone goes, I would say Rhodenite is average. I've worked with harder material that took forever, and soft material that practically melted against the wheel. I'm not sure if I will use it again because it seemed a tad brittle. But it was selected by...

I finished this one just before the new year. I finally took some photos before it goes to it's new owner. OAL: 7 1/2″ Blade: 3″ cutting edge, 1/8″ CPM154, Heat treated to 61-62 HRC with cryo treatment, Mirror Polished Handle: Polished Rhodonite (Stone) Additional: Hidden pins...

Hi Anthony, Fossil dino bone is basically a stone. I don't think there is an advantage to having it stabilized.
