These are fresh off the sharpener. All of them except the Damascus is Sheffield 0-1. The Damascus is from Ironarm knives. My boy brought the laptop home or I wouldn't have got them on here. Gotta get me one.

Can 0-1 be left in stainless foil and be quenched properly? I'm out of heat treat paint and have 6 knives left to heat treat. I've got a whole roll of foil and was wondering if I could leave the knives in the foil and quench them without affecting the hardness.

I need a piece of Damascus 3/16" x 1 1/2" x 12". I don't really care about the pattern. I'm looking to get it after the holidays. I just want a nice piece of American made Damascus.

Sunday I ground out four cefs knives 2 with 5 inch blades and 2 with 9 inch blades all of themm were 2 inches wide. I'll have to say these were the toughest knives I've ground out so far. My hats off to the guys that make chefs knives. Might as well make the last ones I grind the hardest.

I would like to know how all the other knifemakers put up with the public ordering a knife today and wanting to come pick it up tommorrow. For this reason I will no longer be taking orders. I started making knives because I enjoy working with my hands and I love a good knife. I've got two orders...

One of my friends just bought a Paul II Model 2 with carbon fiber handles. It's in NIB condition. He gave $75 for it. I can't find a value on it, but I told him from what I've found on it that it's probably valued at quite a bit more than that. Just wondering if anyone could give me a little...

I would like to try some 52100 but can't find any flat stock suppliers. Anybody know of any?

I've always done a full quench on 0-1. I was wondering if you can use clay to get a hamon or if 0-1 hardens to deeply?

I've been stumbling through knifemaking for about 2 1/2 years and I just now realized that most everybody hand finishes going the length of the blade. All this time I've been doing it across the blade. Am I completely going against the grain of knifemakin?( no pun intended). Or is it just a...

I ran on to some olive drab colored G-10 that was really opaque. Don't know what to call other than Ghost olive drab. Just wandering if anyone else has ever seen it. I'm trying it on one of my drop points just hope it looks as good as I think it will when I'm done cause it's the KITH knife.

I've always been a trapper carrier. About a week ago I got a Buck Sirus. It is an assisted open and up until I used it the first time it opened with some serious authority. After I used it once it sounds like it got some grit in it and now it is almost no assist. Is this common? I've never...

I work in an aluminum mill and was watching aluminum being alloyed. When the alloy was put in the furnace it didn't mix til it was stirred. I got to wondering if you could pu random cut off pieces of brass and copper in a small pot,melt them down,and let them cool without stirring if they would...

I recently ran on to a bar of copper about2"x4"x24". I've seen gaurds made of copper and would like to use it. The last time I tried copper I scrapped it because I couldn't find pins. I tried using12 gauge romex but it just wanted to bend instead of peen. Also if anyone has a mill to put a 3/16"...

One of the guys I work with saw a SMKW catalog with 3/16x2 1/4x12" raindrop damascus in it. Does anyone know anything about the quality of this. I told him he probably wasn't gettin much for $20. He really wants me to make him a knife out of this stuff but I have afeeling it would be a waste of...
