A few weeks back Randy of HHH knives had a GAW in which he sent a box of supplies. I was lucky enough to win the supplies...and I can say that Randy didnt disappoint. I greatly appreciated it, however, since I have a shop full of materials I thought it would be a good idea to pay this forward...

My mother has been admitted into the hospital with blood clots in the major vein of her leg. The Dr says it can be treated but the danger is the clot moving to her lungs. Thanks for any prayers. " the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" Sean

What are the drawbacks? (sorry bad pun...but I couldnt resist :o) I have always tempered in an oven, but I know some guys who flash temper, or temper with heat and watch the color until it goes to straw. Is tempering a matter of just heat or is it heat and time? Sean

Ive got some Koa that Ive had for some time. I have never used it that I can remember. I know this stuff is very dense, but I was wondering can it be used without being stabalized? I realize all wood can be used without being stab. but does the Koa have shrinkage problems if not stabalized...

Had a good 4 mile hike on te Pine Mt trail. The trails follows pine mt on the Va Ky border. This was the first time I got to take my KITH knife from Randy out for a test drive. What a great knife. I had forgotten my walking pole so I used the knife to make one from a poplar sapling. It handled...

What thickness Ti is best for a medium sized frame lock?

Dang I meant to do this before I hit 1000, but oh well. Ive got some assorted handle material Ill box up. Here is all you have to do. Give me the collective nickname of 5 young men who worked for "The Baron of the Bluegrass" You Kentucky boys should know this right off. Happy googling.:3...

A few months ago I did a passaround on a fixed blade EDC. This was completly new for me. I always EDC a folder, so I really didnt know how the knife should be made. I got alot, I mean alot of good critisism. I listened and made the changes that needed to be made. Since I changed it I have...

It is so rare these days to find someone who actually believes in taking care of customers and providing personal service. Ernie Grospitch is one of those guys. I emailed him with a question and he promptly replied and solved my problem. Needless to say I highly reccomend him for...

Ive never used 440C, but had a nice bar given to me. Im making a knife to give to my mentor. Is it me or is it a pain in the rear to grind? I always use 10XX and for stainless I use ATS34. Anything I can do? You out there Mike?;) Sean

Ok its that time again and there seems to be alot of interest in doing another KITH. I know I really enjoyed it last year. We will shoot for a date on the middle of July. We will keep the rules the same as last year. 1. The KITH is open to everyone. Last year some new makers turned out...

I know Ti is the most popular for the liners but could stainless be used if heated to a spring temper? Sean

What are your carry preferences? Tip up or down? Sean

Ok, so Ive finally got some time to work on knives and I thought I would make the switch from slipjoints to liner/frame locks. Well....maybe not switch but at least give it a try.:biggrin: but I need some help (Frank, Les, Les, Ed....somebody????:31::3:) Ive looked at several tutorials and...

All other things being equal, which grind do you prefer on a traditional slipjoint, flat grind or hollow? The reason I ask is Ive been doing some flat grinds lately and really like them. Of course Im waiting for a 14" wheel.:biggrin: Sean

OK, I know this is not knife related:shush:, but I wanted to post here with all the creative minds gathered together:biggrin: I was just given the chance to take over an adventure tourism business. It consists of canoe and kayak rentals on the river from class I through class IV, also our...
