here are some of the GEC 35 Battleship knives they did for me this year. these are forged of steel from the ships and some have decking for handles. Some of the ships did not have wooden decks, so we used wood from other ships. Let me know what you think. These are $300.00 I pay shipping in US...

I use the norax and they work for me. I understand it changes with everyone for sure. Mainly Ed I wanted to tell you I understand about the Pupus. My wife has it and sometimes it is horrifying. She is such a warrior and most of the time you don't know how bad it affects her unless you look into...

I bought part of a sheet of 410 ss 3/16 thick. I am going to use it to mill folder frames from. I had some strips water jet cut for me and they warped. Not a lot but enough. How would be the best way to straighten them or flatten them out. I tried surface grinding but the magnet sucks them back...

I bought some shields and cutting pattern from a guy in Fla. a few years ago. I need some more but can't find my info to contact him. I was hoping someone on here can help me out with this. Thanks in advance.

Kevin did you ever do a book on knife maker heat treating receipes

I have been busy and haven't looked back to see the responses. This hammer was rebuilt by Uncle Al's machine shop in Arkansas. He said it was like new now but I haven't gone and picked it up as I am going to wait until the next knifemakers get together up there. I was only wondering a price...

You can get the little chop saw from Harbor Freight it cost about 29.00. It takes a three inch blade. Take the blade off and get the three inch wide cut off wheel and use a cheap diamond sharpener to shape it at and angle and then you can put your knife blades in the vise on the saw and grind...

Would doing a cycle like this help CPM steels. I know with forging it is a good idea but was wondering about this part. Any help or info would be appreciated.

Just today I received a notice from intuit that they will no longer let me sale knives using the intuit but it could be or go pay. I checked and my card reader is no longer working. This was done because they said the knives were weapons. 4 years ago I went to intuit because square did the same...

Kindly looks like one of the Locust species. Good luck.

Thanks for the info you did on the System Three verses your product. Like I said I have been using it for years with no problems. However that being said I would much rather use a product that the company supports the knife industry. Cost is not the issue even if yours is more it will be my next...

How does this compare to the System 3 epoxies that I have been using. The T-88 or G-2 and the Gel magic. I think they are water proof as well since they are being made for the marine industry. I am always interested in new products especially when those companies support the knife industry.

Thanks for the info guys

Like everyone else I think D-2 is a great steel. I use to always want to do a mirror polish so I bought 154 CM and then CPM-154. I still really like the mirror polish but my eyes don't seem to get it there. I now use primarily D-2 and all of my customers love it. Edge holding is top of the line...

Sounds like I got some good answers. I really appreciate the time you guys spent writing this. There is more of my question answered in the last two remarks and thanks a lot. I knew there was a difference in some type of color but did not know what. I did see a chart once that showed how each...

NO that is not what I am thinking. When you etch Damascus different steels have a different color shade to them that is what makes the pattern pop out. Not just the different hardness of the steel. When steels have a different hardness they look different and that is what I am asking about. Some...

Is there a chart that shows the colors of the steel in Damascus after it is etched. I thought I seen one once on here but don't remember where and can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.
