    Howdy fellas!

    Sorry I haven't been around much lately. No worries, I've just been busy in a good way. My Mil Build blades are at Peters' getting HT'ed as we speak, I'm booked four months out with custom orders and have a couple very interesting collaborations in the works. Angie and I just got moved to her...

    Mil Build W.I.P. thread

    I thought it might be fun for everyone to show where they're at on this cool project. I'll start... everybody jump in any time, this isn't about "me"! Yesterday I spent some time in the shop and got all three of my blanks beveled. As you can see the plunges and profiles still need to be...

    Smoke/Prayers/Happy Thoughts request

    Fellow 'Dogs, I need some backup, in the form of prayers for the people I love. I generally do not like airing personal stuff in public, but this is important. My woman's Daddy (AKA Steve, AKA Big Guy) is having some significant medical issues that need to addressed right now, and we will...

    Thoughts on Media Blasting and Coatings

    I've watched a lot of guys struggle with under-powered, cheapo blasting kits, or spend way too much sending knives out for coating... well, I found a better way. There is a small custom shop near me that specializes in motorcycle/snowmobile/hot rod parts and so forth. They have been more than...

    Raffle for a non-profit?

    Hi gentlemen, I'm looking to set up a raffle for a non-profit organization. (It will be one of my knives, with the money raised going to a NPO that recently got robbed.) I'm a little confused as to how to go about this and accept payment, keep everything transparent, etc. Or maybe it would be...

    Silly/Odd HT question

    We've all seen cool forged knives where some of the forging marks and scale is left on. I was just wondering if I did a similar project by stock-removal and left some of the mill scale showing, would that pose any problems during HT? Will it be an issue later in terms of corrosion resistance...

    D2 vs. CPM-D2?

    Does anyone have some experience or info (Charpy notch tests, etc.)on the relative toughness of regular D2 compared to the CPM version? I know a little about the CPM process and how it generally makes the alloy more consistant overall, but for the purpose of this thread I'm concerned...

    Questions about Lateral Strength

    I'd like to focus this thread on lateral strength only. I try to design my blades and choose steels and HT protocols based almost entirely on cutting ability for the intended mediums. However, many of my knives are "tactical" or "survival" or whatever you want to call them, and it very often...

    Japanese sen questions

    I'm thinking of making a sen for getting my flats nice and flat. Not so much for major stock removal, just to get things smooth after grinding and/or draw-filing before HT. I found a couple links with some info but still have some questions. Don Fogg tutorial sword forum thread cross...

    Bandsaw Blades for Handle Materials

    I have a Craftsman bandsaw like this that's not set up yet. Anyone have recommendations for good blades for cutting "slabs" of G10 and micarta into scales? Is there a safe way to use this type saw to resaw blocks of wood into scales?
