Good looking knife Keith!
I can smell those gardenias from here,nice background for the photo.
I'm going to tell you a secret that you might want to try,now don't tell anyone because its a secret.:biggrin:
Try sharpening the cutting edge before you etch the Damascus,it makes a wicked cutting edge.
 
Thanks guys for all the compliments.

Thanks Calvin,never thought of that.Working on another now,if I don't forget,I will do just that.

God bless
 
Thanks to all you guys.
Hey Laurence I think I remember that as well...Good to be back,and hope to stay

God bless
 
Keith, that is a sweet knife. Your work just keeps getting better and better. Glad to see you back.
Do you find the .070 liners hard to work with? I've stayed with .050.
 
Thanks Jim...jim .07 is a little harder,esp for me, when it comes to tapping.I have wanted to ask others about what they thought as far as a comparision
I personally like the .07 for the larger knives,and .05 for the smaller knives,although ihave used .07 for both.I like that you get a few more threads with
the .07.I am needing more titanium right now,and am fixing to make some smaller folders,I will probably ask on the forum here and see what others think
before I order anything

God bless
