...but I like the way it turned out. Flame Box Elder Burl with blue and orange g10 melted into it. The blade is 1084.

Looks like Paul's show is going to be on April 30th this year. I met Calvin, Keith and maybe a few more of you guys there last year. Is anyone planning on going this year? Sent from my SM-G900R7 using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I need to finish up a knife that I started a long time ago and never got around to completing. I think I'm just going to give it to my dad to replace one of those "irst knife sales that really should never have been sold but I really thought I knew more than I did and my dad was being...

I've never done a kitchen knife, i think it turned out pretty good. The picture isn't great, kinda had to rush. Nothing spectacular, just thought i'd share one again.

I took a few months off this summer to step back for a minute, take a break, catch my breath etc.... Now I'm about to change jobs and I'm moving on up in the world (I hope :biggrin:). Honestly I haven't even been hanging around the forums much. I need to get back on the horse I guess. This...

http://specialcircumstancesinc.blogspot.com/p/products.html I had someone just ask me to make one of these for him. I flat out said no. This guy is making knives out of titanium, sandwiched with carbon fiber to create the surface area for the bevel. Would that even work? I wouldn't imagine...

It's very tacticool. I'm not sure I really like it, but it's what he wanted, right? Designed to be a self defense tool, it should excel at it. Being 1084 steel, I sent it to the new owner with a cord wrap with the instructions to take care of it well if you decide you still don't want the...

question: What happens if you do a ferric chloride etch and then cold blue? I'm asking this because at the last minute, I've decided that I'm not going to handle a knife. I'm going to leave it plain steel. It's 1084. Only the blade has been heat treated. I know that if I want to blacken...

I ordered a used benzomatic ts4000 on ebay, $15. Another member graciously donated 3 firebricks to the cause. Another $15 in brackets and such and my forge build is on it's way. I used a 2" pvc pipe and sandpaper to create the hole and drilled out a hole. I drilled an angled hole for the...

I need some soft fire bricks. They don't have them in my home town. I'm in Dallas at the moment though. Anybody happen know if there's anywhere around here that sells them?

I made this for myself and as soon as I posted a pic of it on facebook this morning I got several, "tell me how much, i want it" 's. For a while now i've been needing to make myself something to carry. I get asked, as I'm sure you do, "do you have one on you that I can see?" So I took a...

I've got a commission that described a matched pair of his and her kitchen knives. They should be matched respectively, Ivory and Ebony. (ugg...white handle:noway:) The first thing that came to my mind was the Kirinite that Bossdog sells. I think I'm trying to keep the price down, so...

HAHa, this is the one that's costing me a lot more money than I put into it...and it's going to fellow for a trade..oh well. Kids, don't polish by hand late at night while your tired and in a hurry. I'm getting much better at my fit and finish these days and I must say that those gater belts...

I hope we don't mind me putting something here that's not so knife related.... I'm looking for a 5.11 moab 6 slingbag or something similar. I've decided that with my work that this might be the best option for carrying a few things, including a few knives to show off, to and from work...

its hard to type, lol. forgot last night to follow my own rules about late night/tired screwing around with a build. i slipped while polishing and yup, right though. it cut deep down and im lucky i dont have a chunk of finger missing and didnt cut it off. im looking at it as good...

I need some .060 red g10 spacer material, or some .030 red and white, at least 1.5"x5" I've got an order coming up and I ran out of red. USAknifemaker is out and the only other places I've found it either want astronomical shipping or an order of more than I'm willing to do at the moment. Let...

For over a year now i've been using my trusty (well, I've actually had to replace it once), second, harbor freight 1x30 grinder (that $9, 2 year replacement plan is worth it). I've learned how to get around it's shortfalls including improvising a tool rest etc. And since i'm really small time...

I'm about to make a new belt order and I think I'm going to try some stuff I've never tried before. I've watched a bunch of videos on the subject, but I was wondering if anyone would like to share what they use/do. In the past I've done most of the grind with 40grit ceramic belts, then up to...

Something I didn't anticipate when grinding is that the spine of the knife is a continual curve without a flat portion. So when it lays on it's back, it wants to rock. It makes the knife comfortable to hold, but is a booger to grind because it constantly wants to rock and not stay at the same...

This was a customer requested knife. He wanted something big, with some weight that he could use for a little of anything - outdoors stuff, nothing too fancy...but then he started talking about maybe some file work etc. I told him I've never done file work etc., but decided to surprise him...
