So I bought a Work Sharp Elite sharpening system. I debated it but decided to go for it. I really like it so far. I took it upstairs and put it in the Kitchen and sharpened EVERYTHING!! LOL!! Only thing I'm regretting is not thinking about belt size it's 1x18 so obviously a strange size. There...

Anyone know if he is still in business?? I use to buy his DAM100 billets they were reasonably priced and made a nice knife! Matter of fact after he discontinued the DAM100 I contacted him and bought up his last few remaining billets! I still have a couple I didn't remember having (going thru...

I've been considering buying a power-hammer from one of these (I know technically their the same company) companies. My question is, has anyone on here ordered a large heavy piece of equipment from either one of them? How did the process go was it smooth any hiccups? I'm sure Ali-Express will...

That's right, antler scales. I have a customer that wants an EDC knife with antler scales (was last deer granpa harvested with my customer before he passed). I had never seen them? Have seen Antler handles but never scales. I decided to try and make them! I had read an article about boiling...

I was at Harbor Frieght today they had packages of 7 drill bits in common sizes that I use for making my knives. 1/8" and 1/4" they had others but I didn't think to look at those because I needed the 2 sizes I listed! Anyway if I remember the 2 packages of bits were around $11 with tax! I was...

Have a customer that wants a knife and wants the pins to be a Pearl finish on them. I can't recall seeing anything like that in my travels or recent searching. Closest thing I've come up with is the spots for fret boards on gutairs (very thin though). Anyone have an idea where to get an actual...

Can anyone give me an idea of what size needle I should use for my Singer 29-4. Obviously leather, leather point needle. I'm just not sure of actual size. I've seen things listed anywhere from 29-4 110 to as large as 29-4 160. Any help would be appreciated.

Started to work on some of my knives that had stopped forward progress for various reasons. Boredom, grind issues, problems with actual blade. Anyways can fix all of it except the blade problem (CuMai blade) there are some voids in the Copper (my bad welds). I'm still going to finish it as I...

Well first one in the books! I've gone to small events with closed or invited people. I sell most of my stuff word of mouth. Today did a small public show with a new friend Aarron of Arronious Blades and my buddy that set this up Doug who has a huge collection of Half Faced Blades, Winkler and a...

So I was asked to put a small display in a show that's being put on by a friend of mine. It's in a local Tattoo place believe it or not. I was excited to get asked! Anyway take a look at my display and tell me what you think!"

Well I finally got to put the Severe angle work rest together I bought from CDHumiston (Thank you Chris!). I bought 3, 1-1/2"x1-1/2" x 20" chunks of aluminum and made the tool arm, doing thatat least they were 1/2 the price of buying them pre-made!! Easy to make too! The cheapest I could find...

Haven't felt like making any knives lately! Everyone that's asked me for prices think pricing is to much! I havnt changed pricing!! If anything they should go up due to material costs!! Been making scales lately nice break from knives but I'm still involved in the Knife making community. Anyway...

Question about this knife. I've only seen pictures and have never handled one. I have a customer that wants me to build one close to but with my custom twist? I know the handles are made from stacked leather. Is the handle round or oval. The pictures I've looked at show smal tapers on the front...

Who makes a good extreme tilt work rest. I want one to grind false edges on my knives. Don't want to get an OBM because of his reputation.

Well I'm starting to get the hang of making epoxy scales. Definitely still learning though! These are stabilized Pinecone (Green but hard to see) then set in Alumilite Clear resin with Pearlescent White mica powder. Real happy how they turned out!!

So I decided to try my hand at Epoxy Scales. Got the HF Paint Pot converted over to be just a pressure pot. Bought some Mica Powder, epoxy and silicone molds! Here are my first 3 sets. Let me know what you think! Working on my first set of hybrids now and bought some Pine cones to try!

Anyone have a set of plans for one of these types of hammers or a similar variant. I've been wanting a powerhammer for4 years and the pricing is just way to prohibitive for me (and they seem to be getting worse!). If I'm ever gonna get one prior to my demise looks like I'm gonna have to build...
