I have been working on coming up with a good assisted open design, and I am getting stuck, any suggestions?

Latest big kitchen knife, first time doing a European style, I think it has turned out pretty good, it is shaving sharp and everything! I think the customer is going to be extremely happy.

last year at the PKA show, my booth was next to John Bartlow, so naturally I spent most of the weekend drooling over his pieces, as they are amazing. He challenged me to try tapered tang style pieces, so that is almost all I have been doing this year (PKA show is almost upon us again) besides a...

Until now, my main grind has been flat, but I have been drooling over Loveless and Bartlow knives, so I decided to try some tapered tangs and hollow grinds myself. Tapered tangs for me were fairly straight forward, and I feel pretty comfortable with them, but no such luck with hollow grinds. I...

My question is- I am doing a show out of state, which is a first for me, and i was wondering what the preferred way to get the knives to the show is? The other thing is that I have not flown much before, so I am not super familiar with how airlines operate. I wanted to ask what your preferred...

So the other day I was hanging out with my friend, television, and on the history channel there was an episode of Modern Marvels, on which they were talking about how welded sections of steel are more structurally sound than sections of non-welded steel. If I recall, it was because when heated...

jumped a lot of beginner hurdles with this project, but i really like it a lot! titanium liners and pocket clip, 154cm blade, OD green canvas for the handle, high carbon bolsters (i may parkerize/duracoat them?) Also put a tungsten carbide finish on one side of the cutting edge, just for...

I talked my friend into programming a simple angle calculator based on Dwight Huges' formula. He said that it only took a half an hour to do, but it looks like it works pretty well. If anybody wants to try it, it is for android phones, here is a link to it...

Hey guys, I just finished my first liner lock knife, before this, I had only done friction folders (two to be exact) but i wanted to try more machining, and more precision work this time. I can say that for my first, its not bad, it will open, lock, close, and stay closed in your pocket. The...

Recently i have been interested in two new things, swords and bayonets. so i figured what the heck?? ill try to make a bayonet style sword! i had a piece of quarter inch by inch and a half 1085 from admiral steel, i cut it to be about two and a half feet long, and started grinding on it. so far...

Hello guys, so first off, this is my first folding knife experiment, i normally forge or do stock removal of fixed blade knives, so this may or may not work for you (or anyone). Unfortunately i dont have many pictures of this, but heres what i did: First- I cut out my blade blank, and profiled...

hi guys, my friend and i were toying with the idea of starting a little supply business making rag/pattern/plain micarta-style handle material, and maybe some mokume-gane, and possibly mosaic pins. i was wondering, what do you want to see in a knife supply store? as far as customer service, any...

hey, i recently started looking into tribal knife ideas and philosophies, if you wanna call it that, but pretty much what i came up with is- making functional, well made knives using low tech methods, and trying to re-purpose junk into functional tools. i cant say i use absolutely no power...

hey guys, i have a question about the process of making a sunobe, i have been wanting to make a wakisashi for a while, and i finally found a piece of W-2 that i think would be about the perfect size. so anyway, i was searching the good ol' internet for information about the process of making a...

i dont have that many pictures of me actually forging or working, but i talked my mom into doing a little photoshoot while i was heat treating a knife blank i bought from USAknifemaker.com, which i was just practicing bevels on, and also my first attempt to make damascus, admittedly, i started...
