Looks great to me. Being able to make a respectable slipjoint is a dream of mine. Thanks for sharing Jeff

I always enjoy this show whether I buy something or not. Always nice to see things you never get to see anywhere else. Didn't buy much just a pair of grips, a beef stick and a bundle of micarta from Dozier.

Steve, those look great. The new owners will be very proud to receive them. Put this last week of constant shoppers and questions behind you and have a great Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Jeff

Tulsa show is how I learned about this place. Bill Coye gave me a card with this website on it while I was talking to him a few shows back. Truth be known it is probebly what got me into making knives. Thanks Bill, Thanks Tulsa gun show. Jeff

Although I'm on here reading the forums most every day I'm not the most frequent poster. I thought I'd post pictures of a couple that I have recently finished up. 1st one 154cm HT by Peters Pink and black g10 with micarta pins This knife turned out very well, it was the first time I did 2...

I really like it. I'm a sucker for that wharncliffe bladeshape myself. Jeff

I've found that if the "wiggle" is small enough I can sand the flats with sandpaper on a flat piece of quartz countertop. Depending on how deep the "wiggle" is sometimes this will sand it out. Thanks

USA Knifemaker most always has it in stock.

Thanks for the answers. I ended up taping both top and bottem to get it to set tight next to and over the plunge then taped the sides just to keep solution off the blade. Turned out very well. Thanks Jeff

I've got a couple of hollow ground blades where the only room for my etch is in the grind next to the plunge. I've seen where several makers put there mark there, question is how do you get you stencil to lay down in there to get a good etch? Do you maybe put you pad set on the stencil before...

I think your right. I'm pretty sure that sure that the 25v is too much. Sounds like I'm fryin bacon when etching. I'm just gonna wire it for 12v and see how that goes. I think I'll also buy some proper electrolyte, I've read where the salt water I'm currently using gets a bit hot. Thanks for...

I recently built the Bob Warner etcher from Cris Crawfords website and got some stencils from Ernie. I'm curious if anyone has instructions on how to wire the etcher with a switch to switch from 25-12 volt. Right now it is set up per the Cris Crawford website at what I think is 25 volts. The...

I appreciate all of yalls suggestions. I think with this one I'm gonna dig up some hardware to attach the scales. The scales on the knife in question are pretty thin so I think I'll hold off on the hidden pins until I'm working with some thicker material. Thanks for your time Jeff

If you were making a knife with hidden pins and the scales were G10 what material would you use for the pins. I have micarta, cold steel, stainless, aluminium, and brass. Thanks for your time Jeff

I'll take 828. Thanks

I really appreciate all the advice and information. That thread by Bailey was very informative. I guess now I need to get back out in the shop and make a few knives so I'll have something to make sheaths for. Thanks for all the positive comments and helpful information, it is much...

Eric, I appreciate the comment. Doug, I did not cut a grove for the stitches. I bought a little tool to do this but I didn't because I wasn't sure if I do it on the front side is it also needed on the backside and if so how do you know that your stitch holes will line up in the groves? Is it...

I finished this knife a month ago. It is the first knife i've done with wood and the first with liners. When I finished it I came to the conclusion that it just wouldn't be right to make my normal kydex sheath for it. This leather sheath is the solution I came up with. While I realize its...

Thanks for all the positive comments, they are much appreciated. As for knives 5 and 8, they are both still with me. 5 turned out very well, it was my first time for wood scales and my first time time to use liners. When i finished it i just couldn't bring myself to use kydex for a sheath...

Earlier in the year when I decided to try my hand at knifemaking my #1 goal was to make knives as Christmas gifts for my co-workers. Well I got them finished up this week. While they are far from perfect I think my co-workers will like them. I'm now looking foward to trying a few new things...
