To be clear I believe that everyone should have both a security system and video surveillance. The price of good HD cameras now adays is incredibly cheap. I've even installed several of the package deals from local Sams club that customers bought. They have worked great with a few exceptions...

It's not always what they take but the damage they leave behind. It varies around here and seems to go through stages. Homes during the day then garages at night. They are looking for prescription drugs, cash and jewelry on home breakins. My Buddies house got broken into they destroyed a...

I'm sure States vary with regards to insurance coverage compared to having a security system monitored or not monitored. As a dealer I can have my home monitored for $5 a month or $60 dollars a year. My insurance deduction wouldn't even cover that cost. Monitoring is a money maker for...

Living in the great State of WV with the highest drug deaths trust me I know a few things about security systems. As a electrical contractor and doing security installs for 35 years I can't imagine NOT having both a security system and HD video cameras. Even then intelligent thieves, not drug...

Really NICE!

I always loved NS from Jantz but they was always out of the 1/4" stock I prefer. I just checked their site and they are only showing 1/8" or 3/8" in stock. So I've been using 416 SS. I thought it was just me but yeah it's a lot harder to finish! Hard as in getting a great buffing finish. Easy to...

Quote "Why? Because its extremely frustrating, time consuming and expensive to make knives from steel you think is one thing but its actually something entirely different or behaves in a way that it shouldn't." So are we talking HT numbers not coming in consistent like you've always...

micarta is a name brand that basically no one can replicate. However I've had great luck making homemade "micarta" using fiberglass resin. Do a you tube search and you'll find TONS of info. My most popular knife scale is home made blue jean "micarta" I have also made knife scales from a...

I love his articles too. I truly appreciate someone like him with his knowledge takes the time to publish the info free of charge. He's obviously taken a lot of time to put this together without any profit.

Thanks that's exactly what I had in mind. I think that's the perfect in between!

Thank you for the detailed response. Much appreciated. My understanding of what you call a full bolster was in my mind a integral bolster. I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond. I just have never seen many kitchen knives with plunge lines and never understood the why! I love your...

I've done the angled "invisible" plunge line and it's tuff! I've made a bunch of hunting knives that I consider great with real world experience. Kitchen knives or I should say great kitchen knives in my humble opinion are way harder to make! Yes the thinner the better in my experience with...

Why doesn't more or any kitchen knives have plunge lines!

So to be clear your wrapping in foil, soaking at 1725 then quenching for stress relief? Do you change the foil for the next heat treat step of 1975?

I'm just now bought some AEB-L to try for the first time. Anyone care to give a little advice on heat treat formula ( I have a knife kiln and foil wrap) and what RH you like using. Do you change RH you prefer from say a kitchen knife to a hunter? Thanks.
