I recently started playing with slippies. I made a few prototypes, and when I was happy with the design, I made three of these. This one has a G10 handle, the other two were stabilized Hawaiian Mango and African Blackwood. Here are some specs: Blade: CPM 154 (RC 59 - 61)...

Hey guys, Need your help on this one. I heat treated a large kitchen knife (CPM 154, 12" blade, 2 1/2" wide, 1/8" thick) and it took a slight bend during process. I've tried just about anything I know of and could read up about straightening bends, short of re-heat treating the knife. Let's...

Hi guys, Haven't posted a picture of a knife I've made in a while, so I thought I'd share one for you guys to give me some feedback. After being inspired by Nick Wheeler and his thread(s) on the Paranee fighters at the end of last year, I made my first fighter-style knife, and while I was...

I just wrapped up this one a few days ago. It is officially the 6th knife I've completed, and as such there area couple of firsts for me - first tapered tang, and my first u-shaped guard (unfortunately I couldn't get the pins to blend in 100%). Here are some of the stats: Blade Material: CPM...

This is my latest creation for a colleague of mine - a fairly plain-jane slightly dropped point hidden tang hunter. I initially thought the handle was a little bit too thin, but it actually sits in the hand very nicely. The blade is CPM 154 CM 3/16" thick, 1 1/14" wide and 4 1/2" long. 410 SS...

Hi everyone, I am looking into getting a buffer for my shop, but really have no idea what I should be looking for. I don't have a ton of money to spend on it either, but will pay a little extra if it is justified. the buffer will mainly be used for blades and handles, but I also do a lot of...

Let me start this thread by stating that I am still very new at making sheaths (it will become VERY apparent throughout this WIP). So I think instead of this as an opportunity for people to critique/comment and help improve my process for making a sheath, than for me to try and tech anyone...

Here's a small EDC I made for a colleague of mine. He's an ex special forces member, and wanted something small and fast as an EDC. Some specs: OAL: 7" Blade length: 3 1/2" Steel: O1 heat treated by Peter's Scales: Tamboti (South African hardwood - much oilier than I expected) Pins...

Posted this in the "Custom knives" forum as well, but thought I'd get some maker's input as well. I completed my second knife a couple of days ago (sans sharpening). The intention is for it to be a little utility knife for my father in law. Knowing that he isn't going to actually carry the...

I completed my second knife a couple of days ago (sans sharpening). The intention is for it to be a little utility knife for my father in law. Knowing that he isn't going to actually carry the knife around on his belt, I decided to rather make a leather storage box for it than an actual sheath...

HI everyone, I just completed my first knife!!! The blade is O1 tool steel, 9" OAL, and the blade is 4 1/2" long, heat treated by Peter's Heat Treating. The scales are Brazilian Walnut, and I made the mosaics myself (not perfect - my first try as well). The sheath is made from 9 oz leather...

This is the first time I've tried making a knife. The blade has already been sent off to heat treating, but thought I would get your opinions in any case, seeing as I'm obviously very new at this and want to learn as much as possible. I am also planning on making an (almost) exact copy of this...

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to this forum, as well as knifemaking. I just recently roughed out two drop-point hunter knives from a piece of O1 tool steel (one with just files and sandpaper - much harder than I thought!, and one with a grinder), and really enjoy it! As far as making knives is...
