I have been contemplating what to make for my KITH mate, John Wilson. While contemplating all kinds of elaborate knives (hidden tangs with elaborate bolsters that would make John Doyle jealous, came to mind. But alas, I suspect that I fall sadly short on that department..:cool:), I came to the...

I wonder if someone here on Knifedogs can assist with information and experience with an unknown, to me, stainless steel called BECUT. There seem to be very little information out there, and very few knife makers that seem to use it for knives. The only reference to the steel that I have found...

This is my fifth knife that I have finished to date and one of my own design, although it will hardly be unique in shape. I will be making more of them, with some tweaks. I like the design. I seem to be extremely slow in the process of making knives, it took me six months from start to finish...

I have noticed a really large number of logo and logo marking related threads these past few weeks. I have a question as well and do not want to impose on another person's threads. I have noticed on threads on this forum that to a large extent logos are seems done by means of electo-chemical...

I thoroughly enjoy Knife Dogs and I have made but a few knives, but enjoy the content and the photos beautiful knives that gets posted here. However, I will not be able to check in for the next couple of days or perhaps a little longer, as I will be having a lower back operation tomorrow the...

I have fairly free access to polyethylene containers of a variety of colours which off hand seems quite useable as liners. It is a very soft plastic and melts quite easily. Are there any issues on using it as liners?

I have started on a new knife which I am making for my daughter. She requested something small that she could use in the kitchen for peeling & working vegetables, so I started on a paring knife of sorts. After I cut out and refined the shape, I started on the bevel of the blade. At one point I...

I have come in possession of a Carl Schlieper knife that needs some TLC. From what I could gather on the internet, these knifes were mass produced and were sold en masse. See the photo: Overall quality of the photos is not great, sorry about that. The design seems based on a Bowie with a false...

This is my first effort at making my own knife. It is still a work in progress. The shaping was primarilly by means of hand files. The steel is 5.2 mm thick (just less than 7/32 on an inch) and is a carbon based "mystery" steel obtained from a mower blade (And yes, I did see all the justified...
